Lint-clean RTL. UVM-closed coverage. CDC-safe deliverables.
Built for ASIC teams that can't afford silicon escapes.
Squared Studio is a semiconductor engineering partner built for ASIC teams that cannot afford silicon escapes. We specialize in SystemVerilog RTL design and UVM-based functional verification — delivering lint-clean, CDC-safe, coverage-closed results that pass first-time review.
From standalone IP blocks to full frontend subsystem delivery, our engineers embed directly into your workflow — your EDA tools, your review process, your communication channels. No ramp-up drag. Just verified silicon, on schedule.
Comprehensive semiconductor engineering from RTL to GDSII — specialized expertise at every stage of the design flow.
Specification-to-RTL implementation covering micro-arch definition, RTL coding, integration, optimization, and synthesis handoff. Lint-clean, CDC/RDC-safe deliverables as standard.
FPGA-targeted RTL development, ASIC-to-FPGA prototyping, implementation support, and board bring-up on AMD/Xilinx and Intel/Altera platforms.
Rigorous functional verification using UVM-based testbenches, constrained-random stimulus, coverage closure, formal property checking, and automated regression.
Design and delivery of reusable custom IP blocks and Verification IPs — from peripheral controllers to full UVM-compliant verification agents and BFMs.
Expert semiconductor consulting, team augmentation, process improvement, and project recovery — seasoned ASIC experience applied to your toughest challenges.
Custom flow automation, Python/Tcl/Shell scripting, regression dashboards, and multi-tool orchestration to accelerate engineering productivity.
Hardware-software co-verification, bare-metal testing, system integration validation, and emulation/prototype support for full-stack silicon confidence.
Practical RTL design, SystemVerilog/UVM verification, and advanced ASIC workshop programs — from fundamentals to expert-level team upskilling and one-on-one mentoring.
Functional specs, micro-architecture documents, verification plans, RTL coding guidelines, review checklists, and knowledge-transfer packages for disciplined engineering.
Design for Testability services — scan insertion, ATPG, MBIST, boundary scan, and DFT rule analysis for thorough manufacturing test coverage.
Cell-level and full-custom physical layout, macro delivery, physical verification (DRC/LVS), parasitic extraction support, and layout-aware design guidance.
Frontend-to-backend handoff, timing constraint definition, low-power coordination, STA collaboration, and LEC/ECO support for smooth physical implementation.
Representative examples of the problems we solve — and how we approach them.
Challenge — An existing directed testbench had reached only 40% functional coverage; tapeout was weeks away and silicon risk was unacceptable.
Outcome — Built a full UVM environment with constrained-random stimulus, protocol-aware scoreboards, and coverage-driven closure. Functional and toggle coverage exceeded 98% across all corner modes before sign-off.
Read More →Challenge — Client needed a parameterized, CDC-safe asynchronous FIFO for a high-speed memory interface — production-ready with zero lint violations and formal CDC sign-off.
Outcome — Delivered lint-clean RTL with formal CDC closure, synthesis-validated at target frequency, and complete documentation within a two-week engagement.
Read More →Challenge — Manual simulation regressions consumed 4+ hours per engineer daily across a 6-person team — blocking iteration speed and burying coverage reports.
Outcome — Designed a Python-based regression orchestrator with parallel dispatch, automatic coverage merging, and HTML dashboards — cutting daily overhead to under 20 minutes.
Read More →Streamlined processes and experienced engineers mean faster iteration and shorter tape-out schedules.
Every deliverable goes through rigorous review — lint-clean, documented, and verified against spec.
We treat your IP with utmost confidentiality. Full NDA coverage as standard on every engagement.
Browse real RTL, UVM environments, and EDA tooling on GitHub — no portfolio fluff, just working code.
Senior engineers with deep roots in ASIC design and verification — committed to zero-defect silicon on every engagement.
Senior RTL and verification engineer with extensive experience across high-speed ASIC, cache controllers, and complex bus fabric design. Hands-on from micro-architecture through synthesis handoff.
Open to RTL design & verification engagements — remote or on-site. Tell us your challenge; we reply within 24 hours with a concrete plan.
“The best time to fix a verification gap is before tapeout. The second best time is right now.”
