A Senior ASIC/FPGA Hardware Engineer for Cryptographic Systems architects, specifies, and ensures proper design & implementation of hardware-based security solutions. The engineer develops the architecture and specification for ASIC or FPGA-based hardware designs. They translate those requirements to front-end RTL designers and guide the back-end implementation team to achieve a secure hardware design. The engineer also works with systems-level designers to develop documentation, test plans, and software interfaces to the hardware solution.

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.
Perform other duties as assigned
