About
listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX: 2533) , Black Sesame Technologies is a leading AI SoC provider. Our mass-produced AI chips are already deployed in the
Automotive and Robotics
markets, delivering high-performance, automotive-grade compute solutions at scale. As we define our
next-generation AI inference accelerators , we are rapidly
expanding our new Singapore R&D site . Join us to build the future of intelligent machines from the ground up. Job Description: ASIC Design Engineer In this role, you will be part of the core team designing our next-generation AI compute engines. You will go beyond high-level RTL, diving into the
fundamental hardware constraints
that make high-performance AI silicon possible. You will focus on optimizing
high-speed datapath logic
while ensuring the design meets rigorous timing and power requirements. Responsibilities RTL Design:
Implement high-efficiency logic modules using
SystemVerilog/Verilog , focusing on AI-specific
ALU and datapath
components. STA & Timing:
Analyze and fix timing violations (Setup/Hold) to ensure the design closes at target frequencies. Low Power & PPA:
Apply basic low-power techniques (e.g., Clock Gating) and analyze their impact on PPA. Design Sign-off:
Run Lint, CDC (Clock Domain Crossing), and RDC (Reset Domain Crossing) checks to ensure robust silicon behavior. Backend Collaboration:
Work closely with the physical design team to understand and resolve congestion and timing issues. Basic Qualifications BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering. Hardware Fundamentals:
Deep understanding of CMOS logic, Setup/Hold time, Skew/Jitter, and the impact of PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature) corners. STA Knowledge:
Familiar with the concept of
Static Timing Analysis , including path delays, false paths, and multi-cycle paths. HDL Proficiency:
Strong coding skills in
SystemVerilog/Verilog
with an emphasis on synthesizeable code and hardware-oriented thinking. Digital Architecture:
Understanding of pipelining, stalling, and bypass logic in high-performance datapaths. Scripting:
Proficiency in
Python, Shell, or TCL
(essential for EDA tool interaction). You would be a "Star Candidate" if you have: ASIC Flow Experience:
Familiarity with the industry-standard ASIC design flow (from RTL to GDSII). ALU/Math Foundations:
Knowledge of computer arithmetic (Fixed-point, IEEE-754) and its hardware implementation. Advanced CDC:
Experience handling complex asynchronous interfaces and synchronization techniques. RISC-V Exposure:
Understanding of RISC-V ISA and its pipeline stages.
