ASIC Engineer, Physical Design

Meta is looking for an ASIC Engineer, Physical Design to join our dynamic team and embark on a rewarding career journey. Your role involves working on complex projects and ensuring that ASICs meet performance, power, and area requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design Planning:
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define project goals, scope, and design requirements for ASIC projects. Establish design plans, including specifications, milestones, and budgets.
• Architecture and Microarchitecture:
• Create architectural and microarchitectural specifications for ASIC designs, outlining high-level structure and functionality.
• RTL Design:
• Implement ASIC designs using hardware description languages (HDL) such as Verilog or VHDL. Develop and optimize RTL (Register Transfer Level) code for logic design.
• Synthesis and Optimization:
• Perform synthesis and optimization to ensure the ASIC design meets performance, power, and area targets. Work on clock domain crossing, power management, and timing closure.
• Verification Support:
• Collaborate with ASIC Verification Engineers to develop and implement testbenches and test scenarios to validate ASIC functionality. Debug and resolve design issues identified during verification.
• DFT (Design for Test):
• Implement DFT features, such as scan chains and boundary scan, to facilitate efficient testing of the ASIC.
• Low-Power Design:
• Optimize ASIC designs for low-power operation, including clock gating, voltage scaling, and power gating.
• Physical Design Support:
• Work with physical design and layout teams to ensure proper floor planning and placement of ASIC components.
• Documentation:
• Maintain comprehensive and well-organized documentation of design specifications, RTL code, and design decisions.
• Technology and Tool Awareness:
• Stay updated on semiconductor technologies, ASIC design tools, and industry best practices to enhance design processes.
• Collaboration:
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including verification, software, and project management, to achieve project goals.
