ASIC Architect
Join our Team
About the opportunity:
Are you excited about working with leading-edge ASIC technologies? Do you want to be a key player in defining next-generation Radio networks? Join the team developing ASICs for Ericsson Radio products under Product Engineering Unit Silicon. We seek an experienced ASIC architect to drive the overall power architecture and development throughout the ASIC lifespan.
As part of our Silicon Systems team in Lund, you'll bring technical expertise in end-to-end ASIC development and leadership skills to guide cross-functional teams across Ericsson design centers. You will be central to evolving ASIC power and thermal management—from early-phase benchmarking and technology selection to innovations in low-power design, power estimation, and confirming power targets in post-silicon validation. The role requires a strong team player who can independently plan work and lead the development team toward common goals. You’ll also build connections with internal teams and external IP and EDA suppliers.
You will be collaborating with Radio product and ASIC teams across multiple Ericsson centers in Sweden and beyond.
What will you do :
• Participate and represent ASIC design community in studies with Ericsson research and Product platform teams to improve energy efficiency for next generation products
• Work with Product systems and thermal design team to define ASIC component level power budgets and targets for various use cases
• Analysis and selection of silicon technology nodes and 3rd party IPs for next generation ASICs
• Own ASIC level power modelling and devise strategies for predictive power estimation with cross-functional design team
• Plan and drive design, verification and physical design work for pre-silicon power estimations
• Work with Validation, Test and Product teams for post-silicon power correlation with an aim to meet defined targets and successfully productize the ASIC
• Track in-field data from product deployment to understand existing issues and provide resolutions for current and future ASICs
• Collaborate with internal CAD teams to evaluate EDA tools and flows for right solutions in power and thermal design area. Keep and a good connect and drive discussions with external EDA and IP suppliers.
• Act as a leader and driver for innovations and process improvements for ASIC power optimization activities in Ericsson
Skills you bring:
• Master of Science, Ph.D. or similar degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Engineering Physics or equivalent education
• Around 10 years of ASIC design experience with excellent understanding of end-to-end ASIC development flow, especially in the area of low-power designs
• Experience with power estimation flows and tools, RTL and gate level power simulations
• Exposure to post-silicon validation and test activities
• Basic skills with Excel, Power-BI to develop estimation models and analysis framework
• Knowledge of scripting languages (python, TCL, shell script, perl etc.)
• Familiarity of ASIC package and thermal cooling solutions is good to have
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Self-driven with ability to lead and take fact-based decisions, a mindset of broader perspective with end-product use
What we offer:
• Creative Freedom
• Impact to the world
• Work-Life Harmony
• Professional Growth
