ASIC Engineer, Design

About

The Infra-Silicon team at Meta designs and develops custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) that power Meta's data center infrastructure. These domain-specific chips are purpose-built to accelerate computationally intensive workloads, including AI inference, video processing, and networking at scale. In this role, you will contribute to the full front-end design lifecycle of next-generation silicon, from microarchitecture definition through RTL implementation and handoff to physical design teams, working closely with architecture, verification, and implementation engineers to deliver high-performance, power-efficient silicon solutions.

Responsibilities

• Develop and refine micro-architecture specifications for complex digital logic blocks including control paths, data paths, and interconnects
• Implement RTL designs in Verilog or SystemVerilog based on micro-architecture specifications and design requirements
• Collaborate with verification engineers to review test plans, coverage results, and debug functional failures at the block and chip level
• Partner with physical design and implementation teams to resolve timing, area, and power closure issues through RTL and constraint refinement
• Identify, evaluate, and integrate soft and hard IP components into the SoC design flow
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to micro-architecture documentation and specification updates
• Support emulation and prototyping efforts to enable early software bring-up and system-level validation
• Analyze power consumption and contribute to low-power design techniques such as clock gating and power domain partitioning
• Collaborate with architecture teams to translate algorithmic requirements into implementable hardware micro-architectures

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, a relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• 2+ years of experience in digital ASIC or SoC front-end design
• Experience in one of these skills: Micro-architecture and RTL development for complex control/data path and networking IPs (Intellectual Properties), OR Experience in SoC (System on Chip) Micro-architecture, Design and Integration, OR Implementation, Power methodology development
• Experience with RTL coding using Verilog or SystemVerilog Experience with lint, CDC, RDC analysis and flows
• Knowledge and hands-on experience with AMBA-AXI, PCIe or networking protocols
• Experience with synthesis, static timing analysis, and timing closure methodologies
• Experience collaborating with verification or physical design teams during the silicon development cycle
• Experience designing data path or memory subsystem logic for AI, networking, or video processing workloads
