Job description

Principal Engineer, ASIC Design
Location: San Jose (on-site)
Ayar Labs is shattering AI data bottlenecks by moving data at the speed of light. As pioneers of co-packaged optics (CPO), we are using light instead of electricity to move data faster, further, and with a fraction of the energy needed to fuel the explosive growth of AI models. Backed by industry giants like NVIDIA, AMD and Intel and manufactured in partnership with the world’s leading semiconductor ecosystem, Ayar Labs’ co-packaged optics solution is key to unleashing next-generation AI scale-up architectures.

The ASIC Sr. Staff Engineer is responsible for the design, bring-up, and debug of complex digital subsystems within an electro-optical digital SoC. You will work in a dynamic startup environment as part of a small IC design team, with each team member expected to contribute across a broad range of tasks while gaining new skill sets to grow with the company.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on self-starter who can craft specifications based on input from colleagues, customers, and industry and who can effectively manage his or her own time to take projects to completion with limited supervision and guidance.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Develop detailed digital algorithm specifications in collaboration with analog, photonics, and firmware engineers
  • Develop and optimize RTL in verilog for use in complex electro-optical ASICs
  • Develop models and testbenches for digital and mixed-signal blocks
  • Create clear documentation of their designs to enable backend ASIC engineers to perform physical implementation (clocks and timing constraints, floorplan guidance, testability) and collaborate to ensure timing signoff
  • Bringup, evaluation, and debug of in-house custom silicon using python scripting, firmware, and control systems
  • Contribute to automated design methodologies and flows for ASIC digital design
  • Hands-on work with high-speed interconnects and optical systems
Required Qualifications:
  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields
  • 14+ years of work or academic experience in ASIC design
  • History of assuming responsibility for a variety of technical tasks and completing projects independently
  • Mastery of Verilog and SystemVerilog for both RTL design and verification
  • Proficient in ASIC verification (XCelium, VCS, Questa) tools
  • Proficient in low-level programming languages (C, C++)
  • Proficient in Python
  • Working knowledge of digital timing constraints and ASIC tool flows
  • Experience working on digital designs with multiple clock domains and clock dividers
  • Experience with SOC interconnect fabrics (AMBA AXI/AHB/APB)

Preferred Qualifications:
  • MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields
  • Proficient in ASIC synthesis (Genus, Design Compiler) tools
  • Proficient in writing timing constraints and deep understanding of timing analysis
  • Working knowledge integrating custom blocks in a digital-top flow (LEF, lib, etc.)
  • Performed silicon bring-up, debug, and evaluation
  • Working knowledge of FPGAs and/or microcontroller platforms
  • Working knowledge of the Cadence Virtuoso design environment, schematic entry, layout, and simulation
  • Experience with DFT methodologies and flows such as scan insertion, BIST, ATPG, etc
  • Knowledge of high-speed SerDes or SerDes components
  • Some knowledge of optics and control systems
Salary Range: $200,000 - $260,000
