ASIC Engineer 100% Remote

ASIC Engineer 100% Remote

Core Responsibilities

• Own ASIC/SoC micro-architecture and block-level definition for ARM-based high-performance SoCs
• Lead security, debug, and RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) feature definition and implementation
• Partner directly with customers to translate system requirements into detailed hardware specifications
• Drive architecture reviews, design reviews, and verification hand-off
• Collaborate with physical design, verification, firmware, and software teams through tape-out and silicon bring-up
• Author high-quality documentation (architecture specs, design guides, customer presentations)

Required Technical Expertise (Must-Have)

• 7+ years of hands-on ASIC/SoC RTL design through tape-out (Verilog/SystemVerilog)
• Multiple shipped ARM-based SoCs (Cortex-A, Cortex-R, Neoverse, or custom ARM CPU subsystems)
• Deep expertise in SoC security architecture: Hardware Root-of-Trust, Secure Boot, Secure JTAG ARM TrustZone (normal + secure world isolation) Cryptographic accelerators (AES, SHA, RSA/ECC, PKE) TRNG, OTP/eFuses, anti-tamper, side-channel resistance
• Strong ARM CoreSight debug architecture experience: ETM/PTM trace, cross-trigger matrix, debug access port (DAP) Secure debug and authentication flows
• Solid RAS implementation experience: ECC, parity, poison propagation, error logging/reporting Fault injection, interconnect/fabric error management (CHI, AXI, CXL experience a plus)
• Full-chip integration ownership (clocks, resets, power management, DFT)
• Proficiency with industry-standard flows: Lint, CDC, UPF, STA constraints

Preferred Skills & Background

• Chiplet / multi-die integration experience (UCIe, BoW, proprietary D2D)
• Datacenter or AI accelerator SoC experience
• Low-power design techniques and UPF power intent
• Experience presenting directly to customers and leading technical discussions
• Stable career history with 2 4 employers max in the last 10 years
• Prior success in small/startup environments ( 150 employees) strongly preferred

Education

• BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering required
• MS or PhD preferred (not mandatory if experience is exceptional)

Cultural & Team Fit

• Self-starter who thrives with broad ownership and minimal process overhead
• Excellent communication you will regularly present to customers and executive staff
• Team player who enjoys mentoring junior engineers while still staying hands-on
