IC Design Engineer

Position Overview 

We are seeking an experienced IC Design Engineer to join our hardware engineering team. The ideal candidate has a strong background in integrated circuit design—from architecture and modeling through implementation, verification, and tape-out. This role will work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance, reliable, and manufacturable ICs for next-generation products. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Lead the design and development of analog, digital, or mixed-signal integrated circuits from concept through production. 
• Define architectural specifications and contribute to system-level design decisions. 
• Develop behavioral and structural models using Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog, or other relevant HDLs. 
• Perform schematic capture, circuit simulation, design optimization, and layout reviews. 
• Collaborate with layout engineers to ensure accurate physical implementation and meet performance, area, and power targets. 
• Conduct design verification, including simulation, characterization, corner analysis, and validation of silicon results. 
• Work with test engineering teams to define test plans, troubleshoot issues, and support ATE testing. 
• Document design specifications, methodologies, and results for internal and external stakeholders. 
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior engineers. 
• Support cross-functional collaboration with packaging, reliability, and fabrication partners. 

Qualifications 

Required: 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. 
• 5 years of experience in IC design (analog, digital, mixed-signal, or RF). 
• Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools (Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor, etc.). 
• Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics and design methodologies. 
• Demonstrated experience taking at least one IC design from concept to tape-out and silicon validation. 
• Ability to analyze and debug complex circuit and system-level issues. 
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment. 

Preferred: 

• Experience with high-temperature or Radhard designs. 
• Experience in silicon bring-up, post-silicon validation, and production ramp. 
• Familiarity with scripting/automation (Python, Perl, TCL, etc.). 
• Knowledge of DFT, timing analysis, or signal integrity. 
• Prior experience in ASIC, SoC, or sensor IC development. 

Benefits:

• Competitive salary based on the candidate’s specific skills, experience, and qualifications.
• In-Office or Hybrid Options
• Benefits package including 401K with company match, employee health plan, paid time off, and holiday.
• Opportunities for professional development and career growth.
