Salary: Circa £80,000 per annum
Contract: Permanent, Full-Time
The Opportunity
A global semiconductor design organisation is seeking a Digital IC Design Engineer to join its growing engineering team in Hampshire (near Southampton). This role sits within a highly experienced digital design group developing production silicon across advanced power, mixed-signal, and SoC platforms.
You’ll work on end-to-end digital IC design and development, collaborating closely with verification, physical design, and system teams to deliver high-quality, manufacturable silicon used in automotive, industrial, IoT, and data-centric applications.
This is a technically hands-on role within a structured, best-practice-driven engineering environment, offering long-term career progression and exposure to complex, real-world products.
Key Responsibilities
* Digital IC / ASIC design from architecture and specification through to tape-out
* RTL development (Verilog / SystemVerilog) for complex digital blocks and SoCs
* Collaboration with verification teams on functional coverage and design closure
* Support synthesis, timing closure, and design sign-off activities
* Work closely with physical design teams to ensure robust, manufacturable implementations
* Support silicon bring-up, debug, and subsequent revisions
Required Experience
* Strong background in Digital IC / ASIC Design
* Proven RTL development experience (Verilog or SystemVerilog)
* Solid understanding of clocking, reset strategies, low-power design, and timing concepts
* Experience working in multi-disciplinary semiconductor design teams
* Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools and modern digital design flows
* Ability to work on-site in Hampshire (hybrid flexibility may be available)
Why Join?
* Permanent role with a salary around £80,000, depending on experience
* Work on shipping silicon used in high-volume, revenue-generating products
* Exposure to complex SoCs and advanced power / mixed-signal platforms
* Technically strong leadership and well-established design processes
* Clear long-term career progression within a global semiconductor organisation
If you’re a Digital IC Design Engineer looking to deepen your technical impact while working on real-world, high-performance silicon, this is an excellent opportunity.
