ASIC Design Engineer

Build the Silicon Behind a World-First Communications Platform. If you're an experienced ASIC Design Engineer looking for your next challenge, opportunities like this don't come around often. We're partnering with an innovative semiconductor company that's developing groundbreaking communications technology designed to transform global connectivity.

Their mission is bold: creating advanced silicon that enables reliable mobile communications in places traditional networks simply can't reach. This isn't another incremental ASIC project. It's an opportunity to help build technology with genuine global impact while working alongside some of the brightest minds in ASIC Design, Digital Design and SoC development.

As a Senior ASIC Design Engineer, you'll play a key role in designing the complex silicon that powers this next-generation platform, working across the full ASIC development lifecycle from architecture through to tape-out.

If you thrive on solving difficult engineering challenges, enjoy working on complex RTL Design, and want your work to shape the future of communications, we'd love to hear from you. The opportunity Joining a highly collaborative team of ASIC Engineers, Digital Design Engineers and silicon specialists, you'll contribute to the development of advanced ASIC and SoC solutions that push the boundaries of performance, efficiency and innovation.

This is a genuinely hands-on role where you'll influence technical decisions, define robust microarchitectures and work closely with Architecture, Verification and Software Engineering teams to deliver high-performance silicon.

You'll work on challenging SystemVerilog RTL Design, contribute to SoC Integration, and help deliver complex semiconductor products from concept through to successful tape-out. What You'll Be Doing Designing high-quality RTL using SystemVerilog Defining microarchitecture for advanced ASIC and SoC designs Supporting large-scale SoC Integration Developing complex digital hardware for next-generation semiconductor devices Collaborating with ASIC Architects, Verification Engineers and Software Engineers Participating in technical design reviews and influencing engineering decisions Supporting projects throughout the complete ASIC development lifecycle Driving best practice in digital design and RTL development What they're looking for You'll already have commercial experience as an ASIC Design Engineer, Digital Design Engineer, RTL Engineer, or similar semiconductor design role.

You'll also have experience with: ASIC Design RTL Design using SystemVerilog Digital IC Design SoC Integration Complex digital hardware development CPUs, Network-on-Chip (NoC), accelerators or high-speed interface design Writing clear microarchitecture specifications Python scripting Nice to Have Experience in any of the following would be advantageous: Large-scale ASIC or SoC development Communications or wireless semiconductor technology RF systems Digital Signal Processing (DSP) MATLAB MSc or PhD in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related discipline Why apply?

This is the kind of opportunity most semiconductor engineers wait years to find. You'll be joining a business tackling one of the industry's biggest technical challenges, developing technology that has the potential to reshape how billions of people stay connected across the globe.

You'll work with an exceptional engineering team where your ideas matter, your technical expertise is valued, and you'll have genuine ownership over complex ASIC Design and Digital Design projects. Alongside a highly competitive salary and benefits package, you'll gain exposure to world-class semiconductor development, challenging technical problems and outstanding long-term career progression.

Location Hybrid working based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Right to work Applicants must already have the unrestricted right to work in the UK. Unfortunately, visa sponsorship is not available for this position, so applications requiring current or future sponsorship cannot be considered.

Apply Now If you're an experienced ASIC Design Engineer, RTL Engineer, Digital Design Engineer or SystemVerilog Engineer looking to work on cutting-edge semiconductor technology with real-world impact, we'd love to hear from you.
