Job Description:

• As a Master Integrated Circuit Design Engineer specializing in radiation-hardened microelectronics, you will play a key role in the design and development of advanced integrated circuits and SoC’s tailored for operation in space, military, and other radiation–rich environments.
• You will be responsible for IC development from chip architecture definition through release to production and may secondarily support Single Board Computer FPGA design and validation.
• This individual demonstrates aptitude and hands-on capability to design complex digital blocks, with knowledge/experience across the complete ASIC/SoC design flow.
• The Master Digital IC Design Engineer will be experienced in digital verification, Design-For-Test techniques, Standard Cell Library design methods, and the latest EDA tools.

• The individual will lead architectural design, RTL coding, synthesis and verification of radiation-hardened digital circuits and systems.
• They will define and implement radiation-hardened techniques, such as triple modular redundancy (TMR), error correction codes (ECC), and latch up protection to enhance the reliability of these designs.
• The Senior Digital IC Designer will collaborate with system architects, analog/mixed-signal designers, and FPGA engineers to integrate digital designs into larger systems and ensure seamless interoperability.
• Additional duties include evaluation of design requirements, determining design methodologies, formulating estimates of effort/cost for new business proposals, and participation in continuous improvements to internal design methodologies.
• The individual will work as part of a collaborative design-team using prudent design-management techniques including EDA tool-scripting, version-control and technical documentation, while participating in project-planning and progress-tracking.
• This role is open to both Hybrid and Remote work schedules.
• Provide technical leadership for new Digital and Mixed-signal ASIC programs.
• Collaborate with external and internal customers to define ASIC solution architectures.
• Reviewing and editing target specifications (Frontgrade or External Customers) and translating them into design constraints.
• Implement digital designs using RTL & Logic Synthesis methods (Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog).
• Develop architectures and specifications for complex design blocks.
• Add DFT (Design for Test) logic to the design to efficiently implement efficient testing of the design for manufacturing.
• Interface with ASIC customers and Frontgrade internal Place & Route Engineers to ensure the ASIC customer designs are correctly implemented in silicon.
• Develop verification plans, simulation environments, coverage metrics, and perform design verification for digital blocks and systems.
• Use modern verification methods to verify digital blocks and systems, such as directed/constrained random, assertions, UVM, code coverage.
• Use modern Static Timing Analysis and Formal Verification tools to verify the correctness of digital gate level implementations.
• Use the ElectroMigration/IR drop analysis tools/results to address its impacts with the design.
• Work as part of a cross functional team to develop cost estimates for new ASIC opportunities.
• Continuously learn and stay current with EDA tools, modern design techniques, technology, architectures, and interfaces.
• Partner with internal and external customers to develop technical solutions that enable new missions.
• Provide technical report-outs to peers and occasionally external customers.
• Create and execute mixed-signal modeling and simulation.
• Support and lead project planning and Agile project development
• Support and lead proposal estimation and technical proposal write-ups for new program pursuits.

• BSEE, BSCE, or equivalent with 12 years of experience implementing ASIC or FPGA designs using Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL.
• This position requires access to technology, materials, software or hardware that is controlled by either ITAR or EAR U.S. export laws. As a condition to this job offer, in order to be employed in this position, you must be able to obtain an U.S. Government export license(s), as required by law.

• MSEE, MSCE, or equivalent with 10 years of experience implementing ASIC or FPGA designs using Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL.
• This position requires access to technology, materials, software or hardware that is controlled by either ITAR or EAR U.S. export laws. As a condition to this job offer, in order to be employed in this position, you must be able to obtain an U.S. Government export license(s), as required by law.

• Strong aptitude to learn and apply best practices and techniques using EDA tools.
• Able to decompose a complex set of product requirements into an execution plan.
• Experience with computer architectures, computer systems, signal integrity, component selection would be a plus.
