Job Description

Summary:

Own end-to-end RTL design for complex SoC or large subsystem blocks, from micro-architecture through tapeout and silicon bring-up.

Responsibilities:

  • Define micro-architecture from specs; write high-quality synthesizable SystemVerilog/Verilog RTL for SoC-level or large subsystems.
  • Own design bring-up, block/subsystem integration, and close on timing, power, and area with synthesis and PnR teams.
  • Drive design reviews, close bugs, and support silicon validation and post-silicon debug.
  • Collaborate with DV to define test plans, assertions, and coverage goals; support emulation/FPGA only as a secondary validation aid (not counted toward the 8 years).

Must-have qualifications:

  • 8+ years of hands-on ASIC RTL development experience (FPGA work does not count toward the 10 years).
  • Multiple production ASIC tapeouts owning significant SoC or subsystem functionality (e.g., interconnects, coherency, memory subsystem, high-speed I/O, security, or power-management islands).
  • Strong SystemVerilog/Verilog RTL and micro-architecture skills, including clock/reset design, low-power techniques (UPF/retention/isolation), and AMBA/standard bus protocols (AXI/ACE/AHB/APB).
  • Proven collaboration with physical design on synthesis constraints, timing closure, DFT hooks, and ECOs.
  • Proven silicon bring-up experience for owned blocks/subsystems.

Nice to have:

  • Exposure to coherency protocols, cache/memory controllers, DDR/PCIe subsystems, security/crypto blocks.
  • SVA for design-level assertions, performance modeling, or power/perf analysis skills.
  • Scripting for design productivity (Tcl/Python), used in service of hands-on RTL work.

Discounted / not counted experience:

  • FPGA design or prototyping experience does not count toward the minimum experience.
  • Lint/CDC-only roles, integration-only roles without substantial new RTL creation, or primarily tool-running roles will be discounted.
  • Pure management or architect-only with no recent hands-on RTL development will be discounted.
