Graduate Digital IC Design Engineer – ASIC & Mixed-Signal Focus
(Hybrid working options available)
Start Date: Summer 2025
Salary: Competitive + Benefits + Training & Development

Are you a driven final-year Electronics Engineering student with a passion for digital design, ASIC development, and high-performance hardware systems? Join a specialist team working at the forefront of custom IC design and innovation.

We are looking for a Graduate Digital IC Design Engineer to join our experienced engineering group. You'll contribute to the design and development of bespoke, high-reliability ASICs for applications in safety-critical environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and verification of digital IP blocks for mixed-signal ASICs
  
  
• Participate in the complete ASIC development flow from RTL to GDSII
  
  
• Collaborate with analog/mixed-signal engineers to integrate digital and analog components seamlessly
  
  
• Support FPGA prototyping and validation on custom evaluation platforms
  
  
• Perform timing analysis, power estimation, and functional verification using industry-standard EDA tools
  
  
• Contribute to customer-focused project delivery in a structured, ISO-certified development environment
  
  What We’re Looking For
  
  
• MEng in Electronics Engineering (or related), graduating Summer 2025
  
  
• Strong academic record (expecting 1st class) with modules in Digital Design, Computer Architecture, and Communications
  
  
• Experience in RTL design using VHDL or SystemVerilog
  
  
• Knowledge of ASIC flows: synthesis, place & route, simulation, and test
  
  
• Familiarity with tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Design Compiler, ModelSim, or equivalent
  
  
• Exposure to FPGA platforms (e.g., Xilinx Zynq or Intel Cyclone) is advantageous
  
  
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
  
  Nice to Have
  
  
• Internship or placement experience in IC or SoC design
  
  
• Hands-on project experience with RISC-V or ARM-based digital systems
  
  
• Interest in low-power design, high-reliability systems, or embedded digital control
  
  What You’ll Get
  
  
• Real project responsibility from day one
  
  
• Mentorship from industry experts and tailored graduate training
  
  
• A chance to work on bespoke, high-impact ICs for world-class clients
  
  
• Supportive and collaborative work culture
