Digital ASIC Design Engineer

A pioneering semiconductor start-up is developing a new generation of high-performance RISC-V processors targeting real-time compute and AI/ML applications. With a focus on scalable multicore architectures and next-generation intelligent systems, the company is building advanced silicon solutions for demanding embedded and edge-compute environments.

As part of its early engineering team, the company is looking for a Graduate ASIC Design Engineer to contribute to the development of complex digital hardware systems from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to join an ambitious, technically driven organisation at an early stage and work alongside highly experienced engineers across architecture, ASIC design, verification, FPGA and system-level development.

The role will suit an enthusiastic engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, learning across multiple disciplines, and taking ownership within a collaborative start-up environment.

Responsibilities

• Support the development of advanced digital ASIC and FPGA designs
• Contribute to RTL design using Verilog/SystemVerilog
• Assist with simulation, debugging, and verification activities
• Work on multicore and high-performance compute architectures
• Collaborate with engineers across design, verification, FPGA, and architecture teams
• Help develop and improve automation, scripting, and design flows
• Participate in technical reviews and contribute ideas to engineering discussions
• Support bring-up and validation activities where required

Requirements

• Degree or higher qualification in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline
• Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals
• Knowledge of Verilog or SystemVerilog
• Exposure to ASIC or FPGA development through academic projects, internships, or personal work
• Familiarity with simulation and debugging concepts
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Self-motivated with a willingness to learn across multiple technical areas
• Comfortable working within a fast-paced, collaborative engineering environment
