Senior ASIC Design Engineer

Help Build the Future of Global Connectivity

I’m currently working with an innovative semiconductor company developing next-generation communications technology that will transform how the world stays connected.

Their cutting-edge hardware is enabling future mobile standards by bringing high-performance 5G communications into space, helping deliver truly global connectivity through advanced satellite-based infrastructure.

This is an opportunity to work on complex, high-performance digital hardware, developing ASIC and FPGA solutions that will be deployed in some of the most demanding environments imaginable.

Working as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team, you’ll translate advanced communications algorithms into efficient RTL implementations, contributing to the development of high-performance IP and complete system solutions.

You’ll collaborate closely with Systems, Architecture, Verification and Physical Design teams throughout the full development lifecycle, from specification through implementation and validation.

Responsibilities

• Translate system and algorithm requirements into efficient RTL micro-architectures
• Design and implement complex digital logic targeting both ASIC and FPGA platforms
• Develop simulation environments and testbenches to verify functionality
• Deploy designs onto FPGA development platforms for validation and system integration
• Optimise designs for timing, throughput, area and power efficiency
• Produce high-quality technical documentation, including design specifications and implementation documentation
• Work closely with Verification, Physical Design and Systems teams to deliver fully integrated solutions
• Contribute to engineering methodology, design flows and continuous process improvement

What they’re looking for

• Strong experience designing complex ASIC and/or FPGA digital systems
• Excellent RTL design skills using Verilog or SystemVerilog
• Experience optimising high-throughput digital designs for performance, timing and resource utilisation
• Knowledge of synthesis, timing analysis and power optimisation techniques
• Experience collaborating across multidisciplinary hardware development teams
• Comfortable producing clear technical documentation
• Strong experience using industry-standard simulation and synthesis tools

About You

You’ll enjoy solving challenging engineering problems and working at the intersection of digital design, communications and high-performance computing.

You’re someone who enjoys collaborating with experts across architecture, verification and implementation while taking ownership of technically demanding RTL development.

Why Join?

• Work on genuinely world-first communications technology
• Develop cutting-edge ASIC and FPGA designs for next-generation hardware
• Collaborate with highly experienced engineers across the complete silicon development flow
• Gain exposure to advanced communications, high-speed digital design and complex SoC development
• Be part of a collaborative engineering culture where technical excellence and innovation are at the heart of everything
