Summary: The role of LLM Trainer ASIC/VLSI Design (Chip Lead) involves training and evaluating Large Language Models specifically for chip design workflows. The position requires a senior ASIC/VLSI design expert to create datasets, simulate engineering scenarios, and review AI outputs to enhance accuracy in the semiconductor field. This is a remote contract position focused on improving design processes through AI integration. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in ASIC/VLSI design and a strong understanding of ARM-based SoC design.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Create datasets covering ASIC/SoC workflows (RTL, verification, physical design).
  • Simulate realistic prompts/conversations involving chip design tools and issues.
  • Write and review technical explanations for ARM-based SoC design, tape-out, and optimization.
  • Evaluate and refine model responses for accuracy and clarity.
  • Cover full lifecycle from design specs to GDSII signoff (<45nm nodes, TSMC/UMC/GlobalFoundries).

Key Skills:

  • 8+ years in ASIC/VLSI design; end-to-end IC design leadership with multiple successful tape-outs.
  • Expertise in RTL (Verilog/VHDL/SystemVerilog), synthesis, timing closure, DFT/DFM, SoC architecture.
  • Direct experience with ARM processor integration.
  • Strong written English for explaining complex workflows.
  • Comfortable collaborating with AI teams.
