Senior ASIC Design Engineer

About Recogni:

Recogni’s mission is to design a vision-oriented artificial intelligence system for autonomous vehicles from the ground up. The system will deliver unprecedented inference performance through novel edge processing, allowing vehicles to see farther and make driving decisions faster than humans while consuming minimal amounts of energy. We’re looking for self-motivated team members who crave a challenge and feel energized to roll up their sleeves and help realize Recogni’s enormous potential.

Backed by Celesta Capital, Continental, Robert Bosch, GreatPoint Ventures, Toyota AI Ventures, BMW i Ventures, The Mayfield Fund, and other leading VC partners, the company is headquartered in San Jose, California with additional operations in Munich, Germany. We value having diverse teams and want you to grow as we grow—whether you’re just starting out in your career or managing a large team, you’ll be amazed at the magnitude of your impact.


About the role:
As a senior member of Recogni’s ASIC team, you will be responsible for the microarchitecture and design implementation of a high-performance and low-power convolutional neural network accelerator ASIC that forms the core of the company’s flagship perception module product for autonomous driving applications.This ASIC’s design closely couples novel computational accelerator units with 3rd-party SoC IP blocks to form an end-to-end vision perception module that achieves record-breaking computational performance at low power.

Your responsibilities will be wide-ranging and run the gamut of microarchitecture design and documentation, Verilog RTL implementation, selecting and integration 3rd-party IP blocks, working closely with design verification engineers, running frontend synthesis and working with a backend team on place-and-route guidance and timing closure.


Responsibilities:
  • Author micro-architecture specifications and participate in specification and test plan reviews.
  • Architect and implement complex RTL designs.
  • Scope third party IP requirements and solicit vendors.
  • Integrate CPU and other relevant IPs into the CPU sub-system.
  • Collaborate with the physical design team to resolve implementation and timing issues and to optimize power.
  • Analyze code coverage and provide feedback to the verification team to achieve coverage closure.
  • Perform diagnostic and post-silicon validation tests, as well as assist with software bring-up in the lab.

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of ASIC design experience with a demonstrable track record of RTL logic design in multi-million gate ASICs with Verilog or System Verilog.
  • Experience in IP integration, specifically CPU IP into SoC.
  • Knowledge of ARM/RISC-V/MIPS Architectures, Memory hierarchy, Cache coherency, Virtual memory, Multicore CPU operation
  • Familiarity with AMBA/APB/AXI Protocol
  • Familiarity with processor peripheral interfaces like SPI, eMMC, *MII, GPIO, I2C ....
  • Hands-on experience in all aspects of the ASIC development process with proficiency in front-end tools and methodologies.
  • Familiarity with low power design. UPF flow for defining power intent of chips with multiple power domains
  • Previous experience with timing closure at high frequencies is a plus.
  • Interest to explore AI architectures for convolution, transformer and other kinds of workloads
  • Self-starter and highly-motivated to work in a dynamic start-up environment.
  • B.S. (M.S. preferred) degree in Electrical or Computer engineering.
