What are the responsibilities and job description for the Application-Specific Integrated Circuit Designer position at Noblesoft Technologies?
Role : ASIC designer
Location : Waukesha, WI (Wisconsin) - Onsite
Person will be responsible for guiding and developing ASICs for applications within Magnetic Resonance (MR) systems. The successful candidate will interface with ASIC simulation & design teams, and Hardware Subsystem teams to help deliver mixed-signal and digital ASIC design solutions.
Essential Responsibilities
Duties include (but are not limited to) :
- Guide ASIC development leveraging experience in mixed-signal (RF ADC / DAC & associated demodulation, digital filtering, etc functional blocks) and digital ASIC design
- Familiarity with System Verilog and VHDL code to understand FPGA-based designs; familiar with transitioning FPGA solutions to ASIC
- Scope and define ASIC test and verification plans, ensuring test coverage & debugging are key parts of initial designs.
- Support verification using UVM or equivalent industry standard methodology
- Write detailed functional specifications that document newly created designs and support product introduction.
- Provide technical support to team throughout product development and implementation process.
- Model, build, test, and modify product prototypes using working models or theoretical models constructed with simulation.
- Provide input requirements & definition to firmware team to develop low-level drivers for communication links.
- Select hardware and material, assuring compliance with specifications and product requirements.
- Engaging in all phases of new product introduction : concept, architecture, documentation, design, prototype, test, supplier interfaces, manufacturing introduction and service support.
- Update knowledge and skills in order to keep up with rapid advancements in ASIC / mixed-signal processes & technologies.
- Identifying and developing new opportunities to leverage Strategic Sourcing objectives and Common Technology initiatives in the MR product line.
Qualifications / Requirements
BS in Electrical Engineering or similar with at least 10 years mixed signal ASIC design experience.
Experience in full cycle mixed-signal ASIC development & realization, including understanding of all involved tasks to drive a design to tape-out
Familiarity with analog ASIC design tools (Synopsys, Cadence, etc).
Demonstrated experience in digital ASIC (System Verilog / VHDL) design and simulation tools (QuestaSim, Xcelium, etc)
Demonstrated experience in MATLAB or equivalent simulation / modeling tool
Working knowledge of project management processes and procedures.
Experience with typical related electrical test equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers
