Locum Asic Rtl Design Engineer Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

ASIC Design Engineer – Power Conversion, Analog, & Solid‐State Fabrication

Bleeding Edge Ohio Based Technology Firm, Newly Created Role, Tremendous Growth Opportunity:

You will serve as the solo ASIC Design Engineer owning architecture, transistor‐level design, simulation, verification, and delivery of custom ASICs focused on power/voltage conversion, battery‐powered systems, and pure analog circuitry. This role also requires meaningful experience with solid‐state fabrication, semiconductor process flows, and device‐level considerations that directly influence analog/power IC performance.

Core Responsibilities

Analog & Power ASIC Design

• Own full lifecycle of ASIC development: architecture → transistor‐level design → simulation → verification → documentation → tape‐out.
• Design advanced power conversion circuits, including:
• • Buck/boost converters
  • Charge pumps
  • Battery management ICs
  • Low‐voltage to high‐voltage conversion stages
  • Linear and switching regulators
• Develop and integrate analog/power IP blocks (biasing networks, references, amplifiers, drivers, protection circuits).
• Perform detailed SPICE simulations, corner analysis, Monte Carlo, aging, and reliability modeling.
• Drive analog layout interactions: floorplanning, parasitic extraction, matching strategies, and sign‐off.

Solid‐State Fabrication & Semiconductor Process Interaction

• Apply deep understanding of solid‐state device physics (MOSFET behavior, breakdown mechanisms, leakage, mobility, threshold tuning).
• Work closely with foundries or internal process teams to align design with semiconductor process capabilities.
• Interpret and utilize PDKs, process rules, and device models for optimal analog/power performance.
• Incorporate fabrication‐driven constraints into design:
• • Doping profiles
  • Oxide thickness variations
  • High‐voltage device structures
  • Isolation techniques (trench, SOI, guard rings)
  • Thermal behavior and self‐heating
• Evaluate how process variations impact analog stability, efficiency, noise, and power conversion accuracy.
• Support tape‐out preparation, mask review, and post‐fabrication analysis.

Project Ownership

• Act as the sole ASIC engineer driving design decisions, schedules, deliverables, and technical direction.
• Interface with PCB, packaging, test, and system engineering teams to ensure seamless integration.
• Produce clear specifications, design documentation, verification reports, and fab‐related design notes.

Required Experience & Skills

• A College Degree (BS or MS) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Physics.
• 8+ years ASIC/Analog IC design experience.
• Must have strong pure analog design experience — transistor‐level design, compensation, stability, noise, biasing.
• Proven experience designing power conversion circuits and battery‐powered architectures.
• Hands‐on expertise with Cadence (Virtuoso, Spectre, ADE).
• Experience developing and integrating custom analog/power IP blocks.
• Demonstrated ability to work as the solo ASIC designer on full projects.
• Solid understanding of solid‐state fabrication, including:
• • CMOS/BiCMOS process flows
  • Device formation (implantation, diffusion, oxidation, deposition, lithography)
  • High‐voltage device structures
  • Process variation impacts on analog/power circuits
• Strong grasp of semiconductor device physics and reliability mechanisms (BTI, HCI, TDDB).
• Ability to translate system‐level requirements into ASIC specifications.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with battery‐powered embedded systems, wearables, IoT, or portable electronics.
• Familiarity with mixed‐signal verification methodologies.
• Experience with lab bring‐up, bench validation, and silicon debug.
• Background in wide‐bandgap devices (GaN, SiC) or high‐voltage analog design.

Role Attributes

• Highly independent, self‐directed, and comfortable owning complex ASIC programs end‐to‐end.
• Strong analog intuition and power‐focused design mindset.
• Deep appreciation for how fabrication choices impact analog/power IC behavior.
