• Effectively communicate with multi-disciplined teams located across the globe
• Gather, attend and present into technical status meetings on a weekly/bi-weekly basis

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Proven ASIC design experience, RTL design experience on large ASIC development projects
• Strong background working with industry standard synthesis tools, flows and back end timing closure(e.g. Formality, CDC & Linting tools, Design Compiler/FX etc)
• Strong background in Verilog and System Verilog
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
• Excellent written and communication skills
• Understanding of the IP integration and interactions within an SOC
• Must be a self-starter and able to independently drive tasks to completion
