Role Overview
Due to growth, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a global company in their Cambridge office. The role offers broad ownership across the entire ASIC development cycle, from architecture and RTL design through verification, DFT, implementation, and silicon validation. The role combines challenging mixed-signal design work with the opportunity to provide technical leadership and contribute to design methodology improvements in one of the UK’s leading technology and Semiconductor hubs.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop functional digital blocks and contribute to the delivery of complete mixed-signal ASICs from concept through to full production maturity
- Support product definition activities through feasibility studies, architecture development, and FPGA-based digital emulation
- Develop RTL designs in SystemVerilog that meet system performance, functionality, and quality requirements
- Create comprehensive block-level verification environments and testbenches to validate digital functionality
- Perform digital synthesis and develop appropriate physical design constraints to achieve power, performance, and area (PPA) targets
- Generate and maintain high-quality design documentation and actively participate in design reviews
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other team members
- Drive continuous improvement of digital design methodologies and best practices
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
