Job Description

The Role

We are looking for a Front-End Integration Engineer with 3+ years of experience to join our team in Bayan Lepas, Penang. You will work across the front-end ASIC flow from RTL to netlist, covering synthesis, timing, design quality checks, and verification while collaborating with cross-functional teams to support a smooth transition to physical design.

Key Responsibilities

Drive front-end chip implementation, from RTL through synthesis and netlist delivery for physical design.
Develop, implement, and improve ASIC front-end design methodologies and flows.
Perform RTL quality checks, including lint and clock-domain crossing (CDC) analysis.
Execute logic synthesis, timing analysis, and timing constraint validation to achieve design requirements.
Perform formal equivalence checking to ensure consistency between different design stages.
Analyze and resolve issues related to RTL quality, timing, synthesis, and design constraints.
Collaborate with RTL, physical design, and other engineering teams to ensure a smooth transition from RTL to physical implementation.
Work with EDA vendors on tool evaluation, flow development, and technology-related issues.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering, or any related field
Experience with Verilog RTL design and has experience of large digital ASIC project.
Familiarity with front-end EDA tools such as Fusion Compiler / Design Compiler, PrimeTime, Formality / Conformal, SpyGlass, or equivalent tools.
Hands-on experience in RTL synthesis, lint, CDC, formal verification, or STA.
Good understanding of timing constraints and Static Timing Analysis (STA).
Proficiency in Unix/Linux environments and scripting languages such as Tcl, Perl, or Python.
Strong planning, problem-solving, and execution skills, with the ability to deliver according to project milestones.
