Salary Range: $168K-$214K/Annum Job Description: As a Master Integrated Circuit Design Engineer specializing in radiation-hardened microelectronics, you will play a key role in the design and development of advanced integrated circuits and SoC's tailored for operation in space, military, and other radiation-rich environments. You will be responsible for IC development from chip architecture definition through release to production and may secondarily support Single Board Computer FPGA design and validation. This individual demonstrates aptitude and hands-on capability to design complex digital blocks, with knowledge/experience across the complete ASIC/SoC design flow. The Master Digital IC Design Engineer will be experienced in digital verification, Design-For-Test techniques, Standard Cell Library design methods, and the latest EDA tools. Responsibilities: The individual will lead architectural design, RTL coding, synthesis and verification of radiation-hardened digital circuits and systems. They will define and implement radiation-hardened techniques, such as triple modular redundancy (TMR), error correction codes (ECC), and latch up protection to enhance the reliability of these designs. The Senior Digital IC Designer will collaborate with system architects, analog/mixed-signal designers, and FPGA engineers to integrate digital designs into larger systems and ensure seamless interoperability. Additional duties include evaluation of design requirements, determining design methodologies, formulating estimates of effort/cost for new business proposals, and participation in continuous improvements to internal design methodologies. The individual will work as part of a collaborative design-team using prudent design-management techniques including EDA tool-scripting, version-control and technical documentation, while participating in project-planning and progress-tracking. This role is open to both Hybrid and Remote work schedules. Provide technical leadership for new Digital and Mixed-signal ASIC programs. Collaborate with external and internal customers to define ASIC solution architectures. Reviewing and editing target specifications (Frontgrade or External Customers) and translating them into design constraints. Implement digital designs using RTL & Logic Synthesis methods (Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog). Develop architectures and specifications for complex design blocks. Add DFT (Design for Test) logic to the design to efficiently implement efficient testing of the design for manufacturing. Interface with ASIC customers and Frontgrade internal Place & Route Engineers to ensure the ASIC customer designs are correctly implemented in silicon. Develop verification plans, simulation environments, coverage metrics, and perform design verification for digital blocks and systems. Use modern verification methods to verify digital blocks and systems, such as directed/constrained random, assertions, UVM, code coverage. Use modern Static Timing Analysis and Formal Verification tools to verify the correctness of digital gate level implementations. Use the ElectroMigration/IR drop analysis tools/results to address its impacts with the design. Work as part of a cross functional team to develop cost estimates for new ASIC opportunities. Continuously learn and stay current with EDA tools, modern design techniques, technology, architectures, and interfaces. Partner with internal and external customers to develop technical solutions that enable new missions. Provide technical report-outs to peers and occasionally external customers. Create and execute mixed-signal modeling and simulation. Support and lead project planning and Agile project development Support and lead proposal estimation and technical proposal write-ups for new program pursuits.
