Job Description: The Principle VLSI/ASIC Design Engineer is responsible for the architecture, RTL design, implementation, and analysis of complex VLSI components and system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. This role contributes to early-stage architecture and design exploration and carries concepts through detailed design implementation for networking, compute, and other complex SoC applications. The engineer will serve as a recognized technical authority in ASIC and VLSI design, influencing product strategy, technology roadmaps, architectural direction, and implementation methodologies across organizations and business units. The role requires strong technical leadership, innovation, cross-functional collaboration, and the ability to mentor engineers while delivering high-quality, scalable, and production-ready designs. Key Responsibilities • Lead early-stage ASIC architecture and design exploration for complex networking, compute, and SoC applications. • Define architectural approaches, microarchitectures, design methodologies, and implementation plans aligned with product requirements and technology roadmaps. • Design, develop, and modify complex RTL blocks using industry-standard hardware description languages and design practices. • Drive RTL implementation from architectural definition through synthesis, physical implementation support, timing closure, and production readiness. • Analyze design tradeoffs involving performance, power, area, scalability, reliability, and time to market. • Develop and evaluate VLSI components and hardware systems across multiple platforms and product organizations. • Conduct design reviews and evaluate product designs for compliance with architecture, implementation guidelines, quality standards, and industry best practices. • Establish operating data and performance expectations through analytical modeling, simulation, prototyping, and experimental evaluation. • Provide tangible, data-driven feedback to improve product quality, reduce design risk, and mitigate potential product failures. • Contribute to organization-wide ASIC design architectures, methodologies, and standards. • Create integration plans for incorporating new technologies, IP, design practices, and implementation improvements into existing architectures. • Identify emerging technologies, innovations, tools, and external partnerships that support business objectives and technology roadmaps. • Review material specifications, hardware designs, electrical component requirements, and related technical documentation. • Collaborate with architecture, hardware, firmware, verification, physical design, systems, software, manufacturing, and external development teams. • Influence technical decisions made by business leadership, development partners, suppliers, and industry standards organizations. • Provide technical leadership for significant projects and programs, conne
