Senior ASIC Design Engineer at E-Space
Saratoga, CA 95070
About the Job
Saratoga, CAE-Space US – Engineering, Manufacturing & Operations /Full-Time /On-siteReady to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services
We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life
We are seeking an experienced ASIC Design Engineer to contribute to the design, development, and verification of our next-generation semiconductor products
The ideal candidate will have expertise in ARM SoC implementations, DSP algorithms, and wireless modem IP verification, with a strong background in ASIC design principles.What you will be doing:Design and implement ARM-based SoC solutions for applications including 5G, IoT, etc.Develop and optimize DSP algorithms for ASICs, focusing on efficiency and low power consumptionVerify wireless modem IP blocks, perform gate-level synthesis, and conduct simulationsCollaborate with system architects to define SoC architecture, DSP specifications, and wireless modem IP requirementsDevelop RTL code for SoC components, DSP modules, and wireless modem IPPerform functional verification, validation, and gate-level simulationsWork with layout engineers for efficient physical implementationConduct performance analysis and optimization of designsParticipate in design reviews and mentor junior engineersStay updated with advancements in ARM architecture, DSP algorithms, wireless modem technologies, and semiconductor designWhat you bring to this role:Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field5+ years of experience in ASIC design with ARM-based SoC implementations, DSP algorithms, and wireless modem IP verificationProficiency in RTL design using Verilog or VHDLStrong understanding of ARM architecture, DSP theory, wireless modem technologies, and AMBA protocolsExperience with EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor Graphics)Knowledge of synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, and system-level design toolsExcellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, communication, and teamwork skillsBonus points for the following:Experience with low-power design techniquesKnowledge of high-speed interface protocols (e.g., PCIe, USB, Ethernet)Familiarity with ARM-based firmware/software development and DSP algorithm development using MATLABExperience with formal verification methodologies and DFT/DFx principlesUnderstanding of fixed-point and floating-point arithmetic optimizationExperience with scripting languages (Python, Perl) for automationThis is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $140,000 - $200,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities
If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.Why E-Space is right for you:As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success. Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet
This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals. In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry. We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space
That’s why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families
