ASIC Design Engineer

Location: London HQ | Fully remote within the UK (quarterly visits)

Salary: Up to £80,000 base only

I’m currently recruiting for an ASIC Design Engineer on behalf of a leading managed service provider that is partnering with a global semiconductor powerhouse to build and grow a UK-based chip development team. This is a great opportunity to join a rapidly expanding UK operation while working on technically challenging, large-scale ASIC/SoC projects, alongside well-established global engineering teams.

The role is fully remote within the UK, with quarterly visits to the London headquarters. There are multiple openings available as the team continues to scale.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for defining, implementing, and optimising RTL-level digital logic for complex ASIC and SoC designs.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate architectural specifications into efficient, synthesizable SystemVerilog RTL.
• Develop detailed micro-architecture specifications for functional blocks and subsystems.
• Integrate IP blocks and ensure robust connectivity and data flow across the SoC.

Requirements

• BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 3+ years’ experience in digital logic / RTL design for ASIC or SoC projects.
• Strong SystemVerilog skills.
• Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals.
• Experience using EDA tools for simulation, synthesis, and linting.
• Familiarity with low-power design techniques, timing analysis, and common interfaces such as AXI, AMBA, PCIe, or DDR.
• Working knowledge of scripting languages (Python, Perl, or Tcl) for automation.
• Exposure to FPGA prototyping or emulation is a plus.

Eligibility & Package

• UK residency is required; relocation is not supported and only UK-based candidates can be considered.
• Visa sponsorship is available, where applicable.
• Base salary up to £80,000, dependent on experience, plus standard benefits.
