MUST HAVE: AEROSPACE , DEEP UNDERSTANDING ASIC, DO254, DIGITAL CIRCUITS
Position Overview:
We are looking for an experienced ASIC Design Engineer with a strong background in the design, verification, and implementation of Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) for aerospace applications. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience working on high-reliability, high-performance digital circuits, and a deep understanding of ASIC design processes, in consideration of DO254.
- Key Responsibilities:
- ASIC Design and Development: Design and develop high-performance, low-power, and highly reliable ASICs for aerospace systems, ensuring compliance with stringent aerospace industry standards like DO254 .
- System-Level Design Integration: Work closely with system engineers to ensure seamless integration of ASICs into larger aerospace systems, including payloads, communications, and avionics systems.
- Verification and Testing: Conduct thorough verification and validation of ASIC designs, including functional verification, timing analysis, and design for testability (DFT). Perform failure analysis and debug of complex ASIC designs.
- RTL Design & Simulation: Write RTL (Register Transfer Level) code in Verilog or VHDL, and perform simulations using industry-standard tools like ModelSim, Cadence, or Synopsys.
- Design for Reliability: Focus on designing for high-reliability and radiation tolerance,
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams like = hardware engineers, software engineers, and test engineers.
- Qualifications & Skills:
- Education: Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience:
- Minimum of 5-8 years of hands-on experience in ASIC design for aerospace, defense.
- Proven expertise in designing ASICs that meet high-reliability standards, such as MIL-STD-883, DO-254, or other aerospace-specific certifications.
- Solid understanding of digital design, RTL coding (Verilog/VHDL), and ASIC flow (synthesis, place & route, timing analysis).
- Experience with ASIC verification techniques (e.g., functional verification, simulation, emulation, DFT).
- Knowledge of radiation-hardened (Rad-Hard) or radiation-tolerant ASIC design principles is a plus.
- Technical Skills:
- Expertise in Verilog/ VHDL and experience with ASIC synthesis tools like Cadence Genus, Synopsys Design Compiler.
- Experience with simulation tools such as ModelSim, VCS, or Xilinx Vivado.
- Familiarity with timing analysis, power optimization, and signal integrity.
- Experience in FPGA/ASIC hybrid systems and custom digital logic development.
- Knowledge of PCB design principles and experience working with high-speed boards is a plus.
- Soft Skills:
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to troubleshoot complex system-level issues.
- Strong communication skills to interact with cross-functional teams, including engineers, management, and customers.
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision, while also collaborating in a team-oriented environment.
- Detail-oriented and committed to maintaining high standards of quality, safety, and reliability.
- Preferred Previous Experience:
- Experience with space-based electronics or aerospace communications.
- Familiarity with ISO 9001, AS9100, or similar quality standards in aerospace.
- Background in radiation effects on electronics or space environmental testing.
- Familiarity with FPGA-based ASIC prototyping for aerospace applications.
