ASIC Engineer

Location: Remote (United States) or Onsite/Hybrid (Client Dependent)

Employment Type: Contract or Full-Time (W2 Only)

Staffing Solutions United (SSU) is seeking an experienced ASIC Engineer to support advanced semiconductor development initiatives across high-performance and low-power silicon programs. This role requires strong expertise across digital design, integration, and implementation, with the ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional engineering environments.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience across multiple stages of the ASIC development lifecycle, from architecture and RTL development through synthesis, timing closure, and silicon validation.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain RTL designs using Verilog/SystemVerilog
• Support microarchitecture definition and technical design documentation
• Perform synthesis, constraint development, and static timing analysis
• Contribute to power optimization and low-power implementation strategies
• Collaborate with verification teams to ensure robust test coverage and issue resolution
• Work closely with physical design teams on floorplanning, timing closure, and signoff
• Analyze and optimize power, performance, and area (PPA) metrics
• Participate in design reviews and maintain high engineering quality standards

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline
• 4+ years of ASIC or digital IC development experience
• Strong proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog
• Experience with synthesis and static timing analysis tools
• Understanding of clock domain crossing (CDC) and reset domain crossing (RDC) methodologies
• Familiarity with advanced technology nodes (28nm and below preferred)
• Solid knowledge of digital logic design fundamentals

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SoC integration and subsystem-level design
• Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools (Synopsys, Cadence, or equivalent)
• Experience with low-power design techniques and UPF
• Scripting experience (Python, Tcl, Perl) for automation
• Exposure to DFT methodologies and silicon bring-up

Additional Information

• Remote opportunities available depending on client program requirements
• W2 engagement; no third-party or C2C arrangements
• Candidates will undergo technical screening and verification
