Experienced Contract Digital IC Design Engineer, Cambridge based, £Flexible

Are you a contract IC Development Engineer looking for a new contract with an immediate start?

They are looking for experienced IC Development engineer to join a growing team of world-class engineers, who will make their mark on ultra precise imaging and positioning control technology.

You must be passionate and interested in the development of custom IC to deliver high quality RTL design, supporting relevant verification strategy and plan, with a strong knowledge of frontend and backend digital IC design flow including coverage, synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), linting, formality, GDS layout, etc.

Main Responsibilities

* Develop and design digital designs for custom IC integration - this would take the form of writing IP design specifications and coding Verilog and SystemVerilog models for simulation, synthesis and static timing analysis, creating testbenches and writing automated build scripts for simulation and verification.

* Build automated pre-silicon verification environment before sign-off and support development of embedded firmware during the early phases of a silicon development project. The role is required to integrate and partition both in-house designs and IP from third parties, and wrap with modelling logic to represent mixed signal design elements in the wider system.

* Help validate new silicon chips - engineering effort is needed to write a suite of validation tests that can be used to check the correct operation of custom silicon both in terms of electrical performance and functionality. Such tests would require a mix between CI/CD automation and manual tests where measurements would be collected from electrical test equipment.

Skills, Qualifications and Experience

Essential -

* Significant experience in the digital custom IC design and development

* Proven record in digital IC design and verification for ASIC implementation

* Strong RTL coding skills in Verilog, VHDL or SystemVerilog with ability to write testbenches for simulation

* Experience in digital IC design backend flow synthesis, STA, test insertion, MBIST, formality, GDS layout etc

* Experience in EDA tools for custom IC development like Siemens Questa for simulation and verification, Synopsys DesignCompiler for synthesis and STA, Spyglass for linting, etc.

* Good knowledge of UVM, SVA, VIP, and UPF for digital IC design verification
