ASIC Design Engineer
Edinburgh, UK
Onsite (minimum 3 days per week)
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced ASIC Design Engineer (5+ years) to join a small, highly focused team in Edinburgh. The team is developing high-value silicon for what aims to be the world’s first space-based mobile broadband network.
You will be part of a collaborative engineering group working on next-generation silicon, leveraging advanced process technologies to push performance, efficiency, and capability. This is a hands-on role where your design decisions will have a direct impact on delivering a global communications network from space.
Role Overview
As an ASIC Design Engineer, you will contribute to the design and implementation of complex silicon solutions used in space-based communication systems. The role focuses on high-quality RTL development, micro-architecture definition, and close collaboration across multiple engineering disciplines.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will work closely with architecture, verification, and system teams—both internal and external—to deliver robust, high-performance ASIC and SoC designs from concept through to tape-out.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop high-quality micro-architecture specifications and RTL designs
- Contribute to SoC integration and subsystem development
- Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders across design flows
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of ASIC/RTL design experience
- Strong understanding of hardware and digital design fundamentals
- Proficiency in SystemVerilog
- Experience with SoC integration
- Background in complex RTL design (e.g. high-speed I/O, CPUs, accelerators, or NoCs)
- Ability to produce clear, high-quality micro-architecture documentation
- Competency in Python
