ASIC Design Engineer (Senior/Staff/Principal levels)

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a start-up who are just over 2 years old, as they make technological breakthroughs in security with a product line built on CHERI technology and RISC‑V cores.

They have strong funding behind them and a leadership team made up of experts in processor design and formal methods as well as a CEO who brings over 30 years of semiconductor experience from world renown companies and start-ups. With huge growth plans across the Silicon Design team this is a fantastic time to join the business!

I am seeking an Engineer who has experience in the full ASIC flow.

Ideally you will have experience in end-to-end ASIC development, from RTL through to GDSII, including synthesis, DFT, floorplanning, place and route, static timing analysis, and tapeout support. This is a hands-on technical role, ideal for someone with a deep understanding of digital design and physical implementation, and a passion for building cutting-edge silicon.

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.
