Senior RTL Design Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Senior RTL Design Engineer

• Focus: Hands-on RTL development for complex digital IP and SoC subsystems for next-generation AI computing platforms

Description

You will design and develop synthesizable RTL using Verilog and SystemVerilog, translating architectural and microarchitecture specifications into efficient, high-performance, low-power hardware. You will partner with architects, verification, physical design, and DFT teams to deliver production-ready, silicon-ready IP, while meeting aggressive timing, power, area, and schedule goals.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop synthesizable RTL for complex digital IP blocks and SoC subsystems

• Translate architecture into efficient high-performance, low-power implementations

• Collaborate with verification to develop plans, review functional coverage, and resolve issues

• Run module/block simulation, debugging, and functional validation

• Drive RTL quality via lint, CDC, and RDC analysis and fixes

• Work with synthesis and physical design to optimize timing, power, area, and manufacturability

• Support DFT integration (scan implementation and RTL modifications for test)

• Participate in design and code reviews and technical discussions

• Support post-silicon bring-up, debug, and root-cause analysis

• Contribute to RTL methodologies, coding standards, automation, and reusable infrastructure

Requirements

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience

• 3–5 years of experience developing RTL for ASIC or FPGA designs

• Strong proficiency with Verilog and/or SystemVerilog

• Solid understanding of digital logic design, synchronous design techniques, and computer architecture

• Experience with simulation tools such as Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, Siemens Questa, or equivalent

• Familiarity with lint, CDC, and RDC verification methodologies

• Working knowledge of synthesis, static timing analysis, DFT, and physical implementation flows

• Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, or Perl

• Strong analytical, debugging, and communication skills
