Job Title : IC Design – ASIC Front End Design & Verification (Frontend)

Job Overview: As a Frontend Principal Engineer specializing in Semiconductor Chip Design, you will lead and coordinate the execution of the front-end stages of integrated circuit development. This role requires a strong technical background in digital design, verification, and project management skills. Additionally, you will oversee product support activities for both the Pre-production and post-production stages, ensuring the successful initiation, development, and sustainment of semiconductor designs.

Note –

• We are specifically looking for candidates with ASIC design & verification experience along with strong hardware expertise 
• For all IC Design profiles, candidates are expected to mention the chip node size (e.g., 28nm, 40nm, 5nm, etc.).

           -No FPGA experience Profiles.

Mandatory Must‑Haves

• ASIC Front‑End Design & Verification
• RTL Design (Verilog / System Verilog).
• Verification (UVM / SV / assertions).
• Chip node size explicitly mentioned (28nm, 16nm, 7nm, 5nm etc.).
• Strong hardware / silicon exposure.

Key Responsibilities: Technical Leadership and Architecture

• Design Architecture from scratch for new products and understand the specifications of the derivative products.
• RTL Design and Coding, Code Quality Management: Creating RTL Design and Coding.. Ensure highest quality by applying suitable coding standards and other techniques.
• Design Verification: Ensuring the correctness and functionality of the design through rigorous verification processes. This includes creating test benches, running simulations, and debugging the design.
• Collaboration: Working closely with other teams, such as physical design, analog IP/IC, software, and system engineering teams, to ensure seamless integration and functionality of the final product.
• Mentorship and Leadership: Leading and mentoring junior engineers, providing guidance on best practices, and ensuring the team adheres to project timelines and quality standards.
• EDA Tools Proficiency: Utilizing EDA tools for design, simulation, and verification tasks.
• Documentation: Maintaining detailed documentation of the design process, including specifications, design decisions, and verification results
• Product Support : Pre and Postproduction Stages, Support for RMA
