What you will do

• Lead architecture, microarchitecture, RTL design, and integration of digital ASICs and subsystems for scientific instruments, including EIC detector readout.
• Develop synthesizable SystemVerilog/Verilog blocks for data formatting, sparsification, buffering, triggering, timing, calibration, control, signal processing, and high-speed links.
• Develop reusable digital IP, register maps, bus interfaces, clock and reset architectures, memory interfaces, FIFOs, state machines, and error detection or correction logic.
• Contribute to synthesis, static timing, CDC/RDC analysis, power estimation, linting, DFT insertion, and timing-driven physical implementation.
• Collaborate with analog, mixed-signal, physical design, verification, firmware, detector science, and other engineering teams through design reviews and tapeout.
• Support FPGA prototyping, test-board development, laboratory bring-up, ASIC characterization, and integration with sensors and data acquisition systems.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, applied physics, or a closely related field.
• At least seven years of progressively responsible experience in digital ASIC design.
• Demonstrated experience developing synthesizable RTL in SystemVerilog and/or Verilog for complex ASICs or system-on-chip designs.
• Experience with ASIC design flows, CAD/EDA tools, digital architecture, clocking and reset strategies, timing constraints, CDC/RDC methodology, and low-power design.
• Ability to work in a multi-user, process-design-kit-managed, version-controlled design environment and communicate effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Uncleared Personal Identity Verification credential is required for employment.

Nice to have
