• Familiar with ASIC SOC design integration and finishing flows
• Experience in architect, design, and implement efficient manufacturing processes for board & ASIC products

In response to your job posting for ASIC engineer, I am including this letter and my resume for your review.

Previously, I was responsible for guidance and support to customers on the usage of Intel PSG FPGA hardware features such as high speed serial I/O interface transceivers, PLL, memory, and power.

I reviewed the requirements of the job opening and I believe my candidacy is an excellent fit for this position. Some of the key requirements that I have extensive experience with include:

• Demonstrated Experience on SOC synthesis, formal check, STA and audit
• Experience on Perl, TCL, Makefile coding
• Good at written, verbal and presentation communication skills and team work
• Some familiarity with mixed-signal IP (DDR, PCIe) desirable
• Fluent with tcl, phython and perl programming languages and able to produce scripts that are user-friendly and maintainable long-term
• Experience with circuit design techniques and integration challenges
• Experience with industry standard design tools (Cadence RC/Genus/Innovus/Voltus, Synopsys DC/ICC/Primetime)
• Fluent with large-scale C/C++ programming

I am excited to be applying for the position of ASIC engineer. Please accept this letter and the attached resume as my interest in this position.

In the previous role, I was responsible for technical consultancy to customers on existing off the shelf memory offerings and on future possible solutions.

My experience is an excellent fit for the list of requirements in this job:
