Senior ASIC Design Engineer – Processor Subsystem

· Configure and integrate Arm processor IP (e.g., Cortex-M series) and associated subsystem components including bus interconnects, memory controllers, and peripheral IP

· Define and implement subsystem-level RTL integration, ensuring correct connectivity, clocking, and reset architecture across all subsystem components

· Collaborate with SoC architects to translate subsystem requirements into a coherent RTL implementation

· Work closely with the verification team to define and develop comprehensive testplans covering subsystem functionality, processor interfaces, and IP integration

· Author and review design specifications and integration guides for the processor subsystem

· Identify and resolve integration issues across IP boundaries, including protocol, clocking, and reset domain crossings

· Support synthesis and timing closure for the processor subsystem in coordination with the physical design team

· Participate in design reviews and contribute to continuous improvement of design and integration methodologies

· Support bring-up and debug activities for the processor subsystem on post-silicon hardware

· Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field

· 7+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC design with a focus on processor subsystem integration

· Strong proficiency in RTL design and integration using SystemVerilog or VHDL

· Experience working with AMBA bus protocols (AHB, APB, AXI) in the context of subsystem integration

· Demonstrated experience collaborating with verification teams on testplan definition and functional coverage

· Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools for RTL compile and simulation (e.g., Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, Mentor Questa)

· Familiarity with synthesis flows and static timing analysis in the context of processor subsystems

· Experience with Arm Corstone or similar processor subsystem reference designs, including hands-on configuration and integration of Arm processor IP (Cortex-M series or similar)

· Knowledge of low-power design techniques and their application within processor subsystems

· Familiarity with Arm tools such as Socrates, Configuration Wizard, or similar IP configuration tools

· Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Tcl, Perl) for design automation and EDA tool flows

· Experience with UPF-based power-aware design flows

· Background in satellite IoT, embedded communications, or similarly constrained application domains

· Experience with post-silicon bring-up and debug of processor subsystems
