Description-

Professional Experience

• 8–15+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC design and development.
• Demonstrated ownership of multiple ASIC projects from specification to tape-out and bring-up.
• Proven leadership in defining and delivering system and chip architectures.
  

Technical Expertise
RTL & Microarchitecture

• Expert-level proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog for RTL design.
• Solid experience developing microarchitecture specifications for complex subsystems.
• Familiarity with clocking, resets, power domains, FSMs, pipelining, and parallelism.

Verification & Simulation

• Good understanding of functional verification methodologies (SystemVerilog, UVM).
• Ability to collaborate with verification teams on test plans, assertions, and coverage.
• Familiar with simulators (e.g., VCS, Questa, ModelSim).

Synthesis & Static Timing Analysis

• Hands-on experience with logic synthesis tools (Synopsys Design Compiler, Cadence Genus).
• Skilled in timing constraint definition (SDC) and timing closure using PrimeTime.
• Able to guide physical design teams on floorplanning, congestion, and timing paths.

Architectural Design & System Integration

• Ability to define and document chip-level architecture, including:
  • Block diagrams, interface protocols (AXI, PCIe, Ethernet, etc.).
  • Data and control flow, memory hierarchies, and DMA engines.
  • Power, performance, area (PPA) trade-off analysis.
• Skilled in specification development: architectural specs, ICDs, design guides.

Low Power & DFT

• Knowledge of UPF/CPF, clock gating, power domains, DVFS.
• Familiar with DFT techniques: scan chains, MBIST, boundary scan (useful for collaboration with DFT teams).

Modeling & High-Level Design

• Experience with performance modeling using Python, C/C++, SystemC.
• Capability to run system-level simulations and evaluate architectural choices.
• (Optional) Familiarity with High-Level Synthesis (HLS) flows.

Scripting & Automation

• Proficiency in Python, Perl, or Tcl for design and flow automation.
  

Soft Skills & Leadership

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across RTL, synthesis, and system levels.
• Capable of leading cross-functional teams including design, verification, physical design, firmware, and software.
• Experience mentoring junior engineers and reviewing their designs.
• Excellent verbal and written communication for documenting specs and collaborating with stakeholders.
  

Bonus Qualifications

• Knowledge of AI/ML accelerators, networking, or video processing pipelines.
• Experience with multi-die (chiplet) integration, 2.5D/3D packaging.
• Understanding of security architectures, encryption modules, or hardware IP protection.
• Background in post-silicon validation, lab bring-up, or FPGA prototyping.
• Exposure to embedded firmware/software, drivers, or hardware-software co-design.

We are primarily looking for someone who can work on-site in Stockholm in accordance with the client’s office policy, which requires a minimum of three days per week at the office.

Candidates who can only work remotely are also welcome to apply, but they will not be prioritized initially.
