Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to evaluation of architectural trade-offs considering features, performance, and system constraints
• Implement RTL in Verilog/System Verilog based on defined micro-architecture
• Integrate IP blocks at top level and ensure synthesis- and timing-clean design
• Work closely with verification teams to achieve full coverage and robust validation
• Develop timing constraints for IP blocks and assist physical design teams with synthesis, timing closure, and formal equivalence checks
• Support silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation activities, including debug and performance analysis
• Collaborate with senior engineers to adopt best practices and improve design methodologies
• Drive quality assurance compliance for smooth IP/SoC handoff
• Work with IP providers to integrate and validate IPs at the SoC level

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science
• 4+ years of experience in/with: RTL design and implementation for ASIC/SoC development
• Proficiency in Verilog/System Verilog for RTL coding and design
• Experience with synthesis tools and timing closure methodologies

Preferred Qualifications

• Understanding of clock domain crossings, power optimization, and timing closure
• Exposure to SoC system integration and CPU subsystem design
• Familiarity with standard bus protocols (AXI, AHB, etc.) and embedded processor architectures
• Knowledge of high-speed and low-power design techniques
• Experience with static timing analysis (STA) tools and methodologies
• Hands-on experience with formal verification tools and techniques
• Basic scripting skills (Python, TCL, etc.) for automation
• Experience with EDA tools: HDL simulators (VCS, Questa, IES), lint tools (Spyglass), and FPGA prototyping tools
