Job Title: ASIC/RTL Design Engineer

Location: Santa Clara, CA - Onsite Role

Pay Range: $80 on W2What's the Job? Drive low-power design strategies across complex SoC and IP designs, focusing on power reduction while maintaining product requirements. Run synthesis and static timing analysis (STA) to achieve PPA targets (power, performance, and area) with reliable timing closure. Analyze and optimize dynamic and leakage power using industry-standard EDA tools and proven low-power techniques. Collaborate closely with RTL designers, physical design, and verification teams to ensure timing and power requirements are met end-to-end. Execute low-power verification checks (UPF/CPF) and support sign-off activities for lint, CDC, synthesis, timing, and power closure. What's Needed? Strong background in ASIC synthesis and static timing analysis (STA), with hands-on experience driving timing closure. Proficiency with industry-standard EDA tools such as Synopsys Design Compiler, PrimeTime, PrimePower, Power Artists, or equivalent. Experience with power analysis and optimization techniques including clock gating, multi-Vt, power gating, and multi-voltage design. Familiarity with UPF/CPF power intent specification and verification, including validating correct implementation. Ability to automate and streamline power and timing workflows using scripting languages such as TCL, Perl, Python, or Shell. What's in it for me? Opportunity to work on cutting-edge silicon by combining low-power strategy, synthesis, STA, and power verification into a single impact loop. A collaborative environment where you'll partner with RTL, physical design, and verification teams to solve complex timing and power challenges. Room to grow through knowledge sharing—learning new flows, improving methodologies, and contributing to team best practices. Chance to strengthen your automation skills by streamlining power and timing workflows for greater efficiency. Meaningful ownership of sign-off readiness, including lint, CDC, synthesis, timing, and power closure support.
