Senior ASIC Automation Engineer

Location: China, Shanghai

Time Type: Full time

Job Description

We are seeking a Senior ASIC Automation Engineer to enhance design infrastructure and automation for complex GPU modules. You will define the hardware compartmentalization strategy, build scalable flows, and apply AI-driven automation to improve efficiency and reliability.

What you'll be doing:

• Own IP-level compartmentalization within the GPU Memory Sub-System, ensuring smooth integration and clear, well-defined interfaces between modules.

• Work with front-end IP and integration teams on infrastructure, build, and flow topics, resolving flow-related issues across the design.

• Identify and define metrics/KPIs to measure build dependencies between units/compartments, and use these insights to drive flow and infrastructure improvements.

• Develop and maintain tools and automation flows to reduce manual effort and improve team productivity.

• Apply AI techniques (e.g., agents, prompt engineering, workflow orchestration) to diagnose issues and enhance design and verification workflows.

What we need to see:

• Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Electrical/Computer Engineering or a related field.

• 3+ years of experience.

• Strong experience with build/flow automation and solid skills in industry-standard scripting languages (e.g., Python, Perl, Makefile or similar).

• Solid understanding of ASIC/SoC concepts and front-end design or verification flows, with a focus on automation and efficiency.

• Proven experience in process automation or efficiency improvement, able to identify bottlenecks and propose practical, data-driven solutions.

• Excellent communication skills; strong spoken English and effective cross-team collaboration are significant pluses.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Experience building or using AI agents for engineering workflows, including prompt engineering.

• Familiarity with dependency management or foundational concepts in large hardware development projects.
