  • Execute lint and clock domain crossing quality checks to ensure design integrity
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including architects, fellow designers, verification specialists, pre- and post-silicon validation teams, and synthesis, timing, and back-end experts

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in ASIC design, proficiency in SystemVerilog, and excellent analytical and problem-solving skills. Experience with high-performance and power-efficient designs is highly desirable.

You Will Thrive In This Role If You

  • Have a "Learn and Be Curious" mindset
