Job Description
We are seeking an experienced RTL SoC Design Engineer with 8+ years of experience in digital design and SoC development. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in RTL design, microarchitecture, SoC integration, and industry-standard bus protocols. The candidate will be responsible for designing high-performance digital IPs, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and driving projects from specification through silicon bring-up.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop RTL for complex digital blocks and SoC subsystems using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
- Translate architecture and functional specifications into robust microarchitecture and RTL implementation.
- Lead the development of high-performance, low-power, and area-efficient digital designs.
- Perform SoC integration including CPU, memory subsystems, peripherals, and interconnects.
- Work closely with architecture, verification, physical design, DFT, firmware, and validation teams.
- Develop design documentation, interface specifications, and implementation guidelines.
- Debug RTL issues using simulation, waveform analysis, and lint/CDC reports.
- Support synthesis, timing closure, power optimization, and design sign-off activities.
- Participate in design reviews and ensure compliance with coding standards and quality metrics.
- Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across projects.
Required Skills
- 8+ years of experience in RTL Design and SoC development.
- Strong knowledge of Verilog and SystemVerilog.
- Experience with RTL coding, synthesis, lint, CDC, and static analysis.
- Good understanding of digital design fundamentals:
- FSM design
- Pipelines
- Clock domain crossing
- Reset synchronization
- Low-power design concepts
- Hands-on experience with SoC integration.
- Strong knowledge of AMBA protocols:
- AXI
- AHB
- APB
- Experience with memory interfaces such as SRAM, ROM, and DDR (preferred).
- Familiarity with scripting using Tcl, Python, Perl, or Shell.
- Experience with version control systems such as Git or Perforce.
- Good debugging skills using simulation tools (VCS, Xcelium, QuestaSim, etc.).
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with ARM-based SoCs or RISC-V platforms.
- Knowledge of DFT concepts including scan, MBIST, and JTAG.
- Familiarity with low-power methodologies such as UPF/CPF.
- Experience with high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, USB, Ethernet, MIPI, or UCIe is an advantage.
- Exposure to FPGA prototyping is desirable.
- Experience with automotive, AI/ML, networking, or multimedia SoCs is a plus.
Education
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Desired Soft Skills
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
- Ability to independently own and deliver complex design modules.
- Experience mentoring junior engineers.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
