Draper Laboratory is seeking talented and motivated individuals to tackle challenging engineering problems in advanced digital IC design. As a Senior Digital ASIC Designer, you will be responsible for designing high-performance digital ASICs in advanced technologies. You will be responsible for implementing designs from RTL through synthesis. You will work in multi-disciplinary teams with opportunities to learn, grow and contribute to a variety of projects in different application areas.

  • Design and simulate circuits at transistor-level to implement architecture and requirement specifications
  • Contribute to system-level design
  • Optimize hardware designs for performance, power, and cost
  • Evaluate the hardware feasibility of complex algorithms and requirements
  • Independently contribute to complex chip architectures and designs
  • Independently drive solutions to complex problems - develop requirements, propose ways forward when customer requirements are unclear or incomplete, and adapt appropriately to changes in requirements
  • Contribute to business development and proposal activities
  • Develop, document, and teach best practices to less experienced engineers
  • Perform or guide physical layout, including floor-planning, and simulate circuits using extracted parasitics, contribute to design-for-test development.
  • Perform other duties as assigned
  • Proficiency in integrated circuit design
  • Understanding of integrated circuits, semiconductors, and general computer architecture
  • Ability to write detailed design specifications
  • Ability to lead multi-disciplinary technical teams
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Excellent mathematical skills
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Excellent time management skills with the proven ability to meet deadlines
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to prioritize tasks
  • Demonstrate strong organization, planning, and time management skills to achieve program goals
  • Requires a bachelor's degree in Engineering, or related field. Masters degree preferred.
  • Requires 7-10 years of experience with a bachelor's degree, or 5-10 years of experience with a master's degree in ASIC Hardware Engineering or related.
  • Applicants should possess solid skills in front-end digital systems design with experience in design flows from Cadence or Synopsys.
  • Be fluent in System Verilog, Verilog or VHDL and familiar with LINT, simulation and synthesis.
  • Applicants selected for this position will be required to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance.
  • Experience with low power circuit design
  • Experience with CMOS advanced nodes below 32nm
  • Experience with radiation-hardened electronics
  • Familiarity with architectures for secure systems design, e.g., cryptographic encoders / decoders or tagged processor architectures is a plus.
  • Demonstrated experience with successful tape-outs at advanced nodes is desired.
  • Experience leading and managing design teams is also desired.
  • Our work is very important to us, but so is our life outside of work. Draper supports many programs to improve work-life balance including workplace flexibility, employee clubs ranging from photography to yoga, health and finance workshops, off site social events and discounts to local museums and cultural activities.
