About The Position

Our team is expanding, and we want to hire the most talented people we can. Continued success depends on it! Once you've had a chance to explore our current open positions, apply to the ones you feel suit you best and keep track of both your progress in the selection process, and new postings that might interest you! Thanks for your interest in working on our team! Adtran Sweden is a development organization based in Stockholm that develops integrated circuits (ASIC) for use in Adtran's networking products. Adtran Sweden also develops SW drivers and software development tools (compiler, debugger and simulator) to support application development for the Adtran ASICs. The organization manages all aspects of ASIC development from product definition, architecture design, functional design, verification, physical implementation and release to manufacturing. In preparation for new projects, Adtran looks to extend the ASIC team. We search for ASIC designers that has started a career and wants to learn this demanding and complex domain. The right candidate has a burning interest in ASIC design and wants to become part of a top class ASIC team that develops very large, complex ASICs. New members will work closely with the team in Stockholm. An ASIC Designer develops the micro architecture and the functionality of the IC. This requires close interaction to architects and fellow ASIC designers. The interface to architects is at a high level of abstraction, thus the designer must be able to understand the architecture of a networking IC device and define and implement the functionality in an hardware description language, System Verilog or VHDL. The ASIC designer works closely with an ASIC Lead Designer who manages the micro architecture and the design specification. An ASIC designer needs to interact with verification engineers for functional verification and backend engineers for physical implementation. This requires familiarity with the entire ASIC design flow. The work model will be a mixture between remote work from a local Adtran office and regular travels for face to face work with the team in Stockholm.

Requirements

Thorough understanding of digital logic design concepts: combinational logic, sequential circuits, finite state machines, pipelining, etc.
Experience in Verilog and/or System Verilog.
Familiar with RTL synthesis and timing analysis (STA)
Experience with tools such as: Synthesis: Synopsys Design Compiler, Cadence Genus Simulation: ModelSim, VCS, Xcelium STA: PrimeTime, Tempus Linting & CDC: SpyGlass, Conformal, Questa CDC

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with timing optimization, area and power tradeoffs.
Familiarity integrating third-party or internally developed IP blocks is a benefit.
Familiarity with standard bus protocols (AMBA: AXI/AHB/APB, PCIe, etc.) is a benefit.
Knowledge of back-end flow (optional but valuable): place & route (P&R), DRC/LVS, physical design constraints.
