Distinguished Engineer, ASIC (Hardware)

TL;DR

Distinguished Engineer, ASIC (Hardware): Designing and implementing digital signal processing, high-speed interfaces, and system-on-a-chip logic for next-generation medical imaging products with an accent on RTL ownership, PPA tradeoffs, and timing closure. Focus on architecting high-throughput digital datapaths, implementing silicon-proven architectures, and collaborating cross-functionally to close chip-level requirements.

Location: Hybrid; Must be based in the US (SF Bay Area or Burlington, MA)

Company

hirify.global is driving a digital revolution in ultrasound imaging with its proprietary Ultrasound-on-Chip semiconductor technology and AI-powered software solutions.

What you will do

• Design, implement, and verify DSP, high-speed interfaces, and SoC logic for next-generation products.
• Own complex digital IC subsystems from architecture and PPA tradeoffs through RTL implementation and tapeout handoff.
• Develop silicon-proven digital architectures using SystemVerilog/Verilog, including pipelined datapaths and state machines.
• Architect sustained high-throughput digital datapaths, including buffering, arbitration, and memory hierarchy design.
• Collaborate with verification, analog, systems, and packaging teams to resolve functional issues and close chip-level requirements.

Requirements

• BS/MS/PhD in EE/CE/CS or equivalent practical tapeout experience.
• 8–12+ years of experience in digital IC / ASIC / SoC design with significant hands-on RTL ownership.
• Strong understanding of timing closure, clock/reset domain architecture, and power-aware design.
• Experience working with advanced technology nodes (28nm or smaller).
• Legally authorized to work in the United States without requiring sponsorship now or in the future.

Nice to have

• Experience implementing compute-intensive digital pipelines (DSP, beamforming, AI, or vector datapaths).
• Exposure to medical imaging or ultrasound systems.
• Experience designing or integrating programmable digital compute blocks like AI accelerators, MPUs, or eFPGA fabrics.
