Staff ASIC Design Engineer - Functional Safety

Mountain View, CA
About us:
Aeva’s mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics, consumer electronics, consumer health, security, and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position, allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions. 

Role Overview:
An ASIC Design Engineer with expertise in ISO-26262 functional safety standards. The ideal candidate will possess strong proficiency in ASIC/Silicon development - digital design, verification, and implementation, coupled with a deep understanding of safety-critical ASIC development processes.

What you'll be doing:

  • Implement and ensure compliance with ISO-26262 functional safety standards throughout the ASIC design process. This involves conducting safety analysis and generating FuSA collateral, developing safety mechanisms, and ensuring the design meets Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL). 
  • Analyze RTL designs including third-party IP tools.  Perform FMEDA analysis and generate FMEDA documents.
  • Participate in and contribute to System Functional Safety Planning
  • Participate in and contribute to the negotiation of DIAs.
  • Create, evaluate, and (in some cases) design (code) ASIC Safety Mechanisms
  • Lead Fault Simulation Campaign to uncover faults and demonstrate diagnostic coverage.

What you'll have:

  • 5+ years of RTL design experience using SystemVerilog.
  • In-depth knowledge of ISO-26262 as it relates to ASIC design.
  • In-depth knowledge of Silicon automotive reliability standards.
  • Previous experience creating DFMEAs, FMEDAs, and other ISO-26262 collateral documents.
  • Leadership role in obtaining ISO-26262 certification of a complex semiconductor device.
  • Previous experience conducting a Fault Simulation Campaign.

Nice to haves:

  • Previous experience with ISO-26262-related software tools (management and tracking) such as Jama.
  • Previous experience with RTL-level FuSa estimation tools.
  • Previous experience generating a Functional Safety Plan and/or Functional Safety Manual.

What's in it for you:

  • Be part of a fast-paced and dynamic team
  • Very competitive compensation and meaningful equity
  • Exceptional benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and more
  • Unlimited PTO: We care about results, not punching a timecard
