ASIC Chip Lead

About the role

Broadcom is seeking a highly experienced and accomplished Principal ASIC Chip Lead to lead the development of cutting-edge System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions. This key role requires a deep, end-to-end understanding of the entire ASIC architecture, design, and verification flow—from initial concept and RTL development through GDSII tape-out and into mass production.

Responsibilities

• Manage cross-functional project teams while interfacing directly with a tier-1 customer.
• Must have soft skills to manage and diffuse high stakes.
• Work with architecture team to define micro-architecture for various design blocks & subsequently Verilog RTL development
• Run various frontend tools to check for linting, clock domain crossing, Low Power design, and checks using UPF/CPF flow
• Work with verification team to collaborate on test plan, coverage plan, and coverage closure
• Work with physical design team on design constraints and timing closure
• Work with firmware and systems team and help with bring-up on FPGA and Silicon platforms
• Work with operations team to bring silicon into mass production
• Willing to learn new areas and flexible in taking on any of the above tasks to help meet project goals

Requirements

• BSEE with 12+ YEARS of experience or MSEE with 10+ YEARS experience in Microarchitecture & RTL Design

• Strong Logic Design & RTL Design Skills using Verilog HDL
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to understand engineering and microarchitecture specifications
• Knowledge and experience of ARM-based SoC, DSP-based design, understanding of analog interfaces and designs is a definite advantage
• Experience with peripherals such as I2C, SPI, SPMI, UART, Asynchronous interface designs, Digital Signal Processing, Memory Controllers, peripherals, and interconnect protocols such as AHB, AXI, etc.
• Experience with Low Power Design & design verification techniques, Multiple Power domains, UPF/CPF understanding and usage
• Good knowledge of EDA tools
• Willingness to work on any design tools/flow/methodologies, including Design-Verification as needed during project development and not strictly limited to RTL design work

Skills

• Solid understanding of communication basics
• Experience with implementation of arithmetic hardware (fixed point, floating point, transcendental operations)
• Familiar with signal processing and numerical analysis tools like MATLAB
• Experience and understanding of DSP Designs using MATLAB/Simulink is a definite advantage, but not limited to DSP designs
• Able to work in a lab with logic analyzers and oscilloscopes during Silicon/FPGA bring up
• Experience with C/C++ and Scripting languages (Perl/Tcl)
• Experience with utilizing AI tools
