Lead design engineer

Lead Design Engineer As an RTL Design Lead , you will play a critical role in leading the RTL design and verification process for complex digital designs . You will manage a team of RTL engineers , collaborate with cross-functional teams, and ensure the successful implementation of high-performance, low-power designs. The ideal candidate should have a strong technical background in RTL design , experience in digital design flow , and the ability to lead a team towards the successful execution of complex projects. Key Responsibilities: RTL Architecture and Design: Lead the RTL design of complex digital systems, including microprocessors , ASICs , FPGA designs , and system-on-chip (So C) components. Team Leadership: Manage and mentor a team of RTL design engineers , providing technical guidance, training, and fostering a collaborative team environment. Design Specifications: Work closely with system architects and hardware engineers to define design specifications, ensuring the implementation meets performance, area, and power requirements. RTL Coding: Write and review high-quality RTL code in Verilog , System Verilog , or VHDL , focusing on scalability, reusability, and modularity. Design Validation: Lead the development of testbenches and collaborate with verification teams to ensure the design is thoroughly verified using simulation , formal verification , and coverage analysis . Timing and Performance Optimization: Drive performance and timing closure by working with design and implementation teams to address critical paths and optimize the design for low power , high speed , and minimal area . Integration: Lead the integration of RTL design blocks into larger systems, ensuring smooth handoffs between various teams, including digital, analog , and software teams. Mentorship and Collaboration: Provide mentorship to junior engineers and collaborate with cross-functional teams, including verification , software , and physical design teams to ensure the design meets all system requirements. Documentation and Reporting: Ensure the proper documentation of design flows, methodology, and processes, including regular design reviews and progress reports to management. Continuous Improvement: Drive continuous improvement in RTL design methodologies, best practices, and tools. Stay up to date with the latest trends and technologies in RTL design and digital systems . Required Qualifications: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering , Computer Engineering , or a related field. 7+ years of experience in RTL design for complex digital systems , with at least 3+ years of leadership experience in managing teams and projects. Expertise in Verilog , System Verilog , or VHDL for RTL coding, with a strong understanding of digital design principles . Proven experience in designing and verifying large-scale So C , ASIC , or FPGA designs . Strong understanding of digital design flow , including synthesis , place-and-route , timing analysis , and power optimization . Experience with simulation and verification methodologies , including UVM , SV-based testbenches , and coverage-driven verification . Proficient in using EDA tools such as Cadence , Synopsys , Mentor Graphics , or other RTL design and verification tools. Strong knowledge of timing analysis , static timing analysis (STA) , and power optimization techniques . Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills, with experience in addressing complex design issues. Strong communication skills with the ability to articulate technical ideas clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Experience: 7 to 12 Years Location: Bangalore
