#### Responsibilities:
* Design and integration of IPs in SoC based on high-level architectural specifications from customers.
* Perform Lint/CDC checks on the design for quality assurance and resolve related issues.
* Create synthesis constraints for the design at the IP and SoC level and perform basic synthesis for PPA (Power, Performance, Area) optimization.
* Create detailed Microarchitectural Specification documents for the design.
* Provide support to the verification team for test plan creation, coverage analysis, and feature debugging.
* Provide support to the physical design team as needed for design implementation.
* Implement innovative solutions to automate repetitive tasks.
* Collaborate within and across teams for effective project execution.
#### Requirements:
* B.E./B.Tech/M.Tech with at least 8-12 years of experience as a digital design engineer.
* Strong knowledge of digital design fundamentals and Verilog/SystemVerilog (SV).
* Solid knowledge of Lint/CDC tools and the ability to set up flows from scratch.
* Knowledge of creating synthesis constraints and Static Timing Analysis (STA); familiarity with synthesis tools is a plus.
* Familiarity with simulation tools (e.g., Xcelium, Verisium) to support verification.
* Experience with AMBA protocols and other ARM IPs is a plus.
* Experience with high-speed IPs such as PCIe, Ethernet, and DDR is a plus.
* Proficiency in scripting languages (Python/Perl/Tcl).
* Ability to innovate and automate repetitive tasks.
* Good communication skills for effective cross-functional collaboration.
