Job Description:
Lumotive is seeking a talented and experienced ASIC Design Engineer to lead the design and implementation of Beam steering Mixed Signal ASIC Controllers. The ideal candidate is a self-motivated and quick learner who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment and brings deep expertise in RTL design for mixed-signal SoCs.
Responsibilities:
- Design and implement RTL for complex Mixed Signal ASIC SoCs.
- Develop and integrate ARM-based processor subsystems and SoC interconnect fabrics.
- Drive architecture, microarchitecture, and RTL development of digital logic blocks.
- Collaborate closely with analog/mixed-signal, verification, DFT, and physical design teams.
- Perform logic synthesis, DFT insertion, STA, and generate timing constraints.
- Run and resolve issues from LINT, CDC, and Formal Verification tools.
- Support post-silicon validation and bring-up activities as needed.
Qualifications:
- BSEE or MSEE in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in RTL design, preferably in Display Controllers, Touch Controllers, Wired/Wireless Communication Systems and Automotive Sensor Communication Systems.
- Strong experience in developing ARM-based processor subsystems and SoC fabrics.
- Strong expertise in Verilog and SystemVerilog.
- Solid understanding and practical experience with CDC (Clock Domain Crossing), LINT tools, Synthesis, Formal Verification, and Static Timing Analysis (STA).
- Experience with design for testability (DFT), scan insertion, and ATPG.
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python or Perl.
- Experience working at both block-level and full-chip integration.
- Experience in DSP (Digital Signal Processing) design.
- Knowledge of analog/mixed-signal interaction and integration.
- Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens/Mentor).
- Experience in low-power design techniques.
