Design and develop ASIC, FPGA, and SoC-based microelectronic systems
Perform simulation, verification, and debugging of hardware designs
Develop and maintain HDL code using Verilog and/or VHDL
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system architecture and hardware requirements
Conduct design analysis to ensure performance, reliability, and manufacturability
Support physical design processes including synthesis, place‑and‑route, and timing closure
Interface with fabrication teams and support semiconductor manufacturing efforts
Utilize industry‑standard EDA tools for schematic capture, simulation, and verification
Required Qualifications
Experience designing and developing ASICs, FPGAs, and/or SoCs
Strong proficiency in HDL coding (Verilog and/or VHDL)
Deep understanding of digital logic design and analog circuit fundamentals
Solid knowledge of computer architecture and semiconductor physics
Experience with physical ASIC design, including place‑and‑route tools
Familiarity with semiconductor fabrication processes
Hands‑on experience with commercial EDA tools such as Cadence, Mentor Graphics, or Synopsys
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with advanced node semiconductor design
Familiarity with mixed‑signal design and verification
Experience working in DoD, IC, or other mission‑critical environments
Why Join Us
Opportunity to work on cutting‑edge hardware technologies
Exposure to full lifecycle microelectronics development
Collaborative, engineering‑driven environment
Strong potential for long‑term growth and technical ownership
Technical Requirements
Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering from an accredited college or university. Five (5) years of additional hardware design engineering experience may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.
