What is a VLSI job?

A VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) job involves designing, verifying, and testing integrated circuits (ICs) that contain millions to billions of transistors. Engineers in this field work on chip architecture, logic design, physical design, and semiconductor fabrication. Key roles include Front-end Design Engineer, Verification Engineer, and Physical Design Engineer. The job requires expertise in hardware description languages (HDLs) like Verilog and VHDL, as well as tools for simulation and synthesis. VLSI professionals are in high demand in industries like consumer electronics, telecommunications, and automotive technology.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Vlsi position, and why are they important?

To thrive in a VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) role, you need a strong background in electrical or electronics engineering, digital and analog circuit design, and expertise in semiconductor fundamentals. Proficiency with EDA tools such as Cadence, Synopsys, or Mentor Graphics, along with familiarity with hardware description languages like Verilog or VHDL, is critical; relevant certifications add value. Strong analytical skills, problem-solving abilities, and effective teamwork and communication capabilities help you excel in collaborative and fast-paced project environments. These skills and qualities are vital for ensuring robust, innovative chip designs and seamless integration within multidisciplinary teams.

What are some typical responsibilities of a VLSI engineer on a project team?

VLSI engineers are typically involved in designing, verifying, and optimizing integrated circuits and system-on-chip solutions. Daily tasks may include schematic capture, RTL coding, simulations, and running verification or validation tests using industry-standard EDA tools. Collaboration with other team members—such as design, test, and verification engineers—is common, and clear communication is key to meeting project goals and deadlines. Depending on the project's phase, VLSI engineers may also participate in debugging, design reviews, and documentation, offering a well-rounded and dynamic day-to-day experience.

Job description

ASIC / VLSI ENGINEERS – RTL / STA / PD / DV (Senior Level)

We are hiring 4 experienced ASIC / VLSI Engineers (8+ years) for permanent, full-time, onsite roles in Silicon Valley supporting advanced semiconductor and AI / networking programs. These roles are within a leading semiconductor design services organization, supporting long-term engagements with tier-1 clients in networking and advanced silicon.


Open roles:

  • RTL Engineer (Networking / Ethernet)
  • STA Engineer
  • Physical Design Engineer
  • Design Verification Engineer


Compensation up to $225K DOE + strong benefits + long-term project stability.

What You Need (All Roles)

  • 8+ years of pre-silicon ASIC / VLSI experience
  • Strong background in RTL-based design environments
  • Experience at the SoC / full-chip level (not IP-only)
  • Solid understanding of ASIC lifecycle (design → tapeout)
  • Scripting experience (Python, Tcl, Perl, etc.)
  • Strong digital logic fundamentals


Must have:

  • Pre-silicon experience only (no post-silicon / firmware-only backgrounds)

Role-Specific Requirements


RTL Engineer (Networking)

  • RTL design + microarchitecture
  • Ethernet (802.3), MAC / PCS / SerDes / PHY
  • High-speed designs (100G+ preferred)
  • Tapeout + productization experience


STA Engineer

  • SoC-level timing analysis & closure
  • PrimeTime, Tempus, or similar


Physical Design Engineer

  • Floorplanning, CTS, routing, signoff
  • Timing, congestion, power optimization


Design Verification Engineer

  • SoC-level verification (required)
  • SystemVerilog / UVM
  • Full verification lifecycle


What Sets You Apart

  • Experience with complex SoC / full-chip tapeouts
  • Ability to work cross-functionally (RTL, DV, PD)
  • Background in advanced nodes (28nm and below preferred)
