What is the difference between Asic Digital Design vs FPGA Digital Design?

AspectAsic Digital DesignFPGA Digital Design
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering; experience with ASIC design toolsBachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering; familiarity with FPGA development tools
Work EnvironmentDesigning custom chips in semiconductor labs or design housesImplementing and testing designs on FPGA boards in labs or development environments
Industry UsageSemiconductor companies, ASIC design firmsPrototyping, testing, and low-volume production in various industries

Asic Digital Design and FPGA Digital Design share foundational skills in digital logic and hardware description languages. However, Asic Digital Design focuses on creating custom integrated circuits for mass production, requiring detailed knowledge of ASIC fabrication processes. FPGA Digital Design involves programming reconfigurable hardware for testing and prototyping, offering more flexibility and faster deployment. Both roles are essential in hardware development but differ in application, tools, and end-use environments.

Job description

Company:
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
Job Area:
Engineering Group, Engineering Group > ASICS Engineering
General Summary:
The Mixed-Signal IP team at Qualcomm is seeking skilled RTL and ASIC design engineers to contribute to the development of next-generation Mixed-Signal IPs - including DAC, ADC, and PLLs - for integration across Qualcomm's product portfolio.
In this role, you will collaborate with a cross-functional team to architect, design, implement, and validate complex IP blocks. Your work will directly support multiple business units and require a strong grasp of the full ASIC design flow, from RTL through GDSII, along with an understanding of the challenges associated with advanced semiconductor technologies.
Responsibilities:
  • Architect and define the digital design of Mixed-Signal IPs (e.g., DAC, ADC, PLL) in close collaboration with system architecture and analog design teams
  • Develop micro-architecture and implement RTL for complex mixed-signal IP blocks
  • Apply advanced techniques in computer architecture, digital signal processing, and ASIC design to enhance power, performance, and area (PPA)
  • Utilize industry-standard ASIC design tools for lint checking, clock domain crossing (CDC) analysis, design-for-test (DFT), synthesis, formal verification (FV), and static timing analysis (STA)
  • Design and analyze DFT logic, including ATPG for stuck-at fault (SAF) and transition delay fault (TDF) coverage
  • Create comprehensive design documentation, including hardware specifications
  • Collaborate with the design verification (DV) team to define test plan, verify the design, and fix bugs
  • Work with the physical design (PD) team to support floorplanning, placement, and timing closure of IPs
  • Support SoC integration and debug, including pre-silicon simulation and post-silicon bring-up

Required for this Role:
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • 3+ years of experience in RTL and ASIC design
  • Proficiency with industry-standard front-end ASIC design tools including VCS, Fusion Compiler, PrimeTime, Power Compiler (PTPX), DFT Compiler, Spyglass, and others

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of industry experience in high-speed digital circuit design
  • Strong background in low-power digital design techniques
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in RTL design and ASIC implementation of mixed-signal IPs such as SerDes DDR PHY, PLLs, DACs, ADCs, and sensors
  • Expertise in computer architecture, digital signal processing, and algorithm development
  • Experience developing automation scripts and design productivity tools using Python or Perl

Minimum Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
OR
Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
OR
PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field.
