  • Good understanding of SOC architecture, including CDC, multiple-power domains, performance analysis, latency, and data flow

  • Excellent debugging and analytical skills

  • Exposure to design and verification tools (dc_shell or equivalent synthesis tools, VCS or equivalent simulation tools, debug tools like Debussy, GDB)

  • Great communication and collaboration skills to interact within the team and with cross-functional teams

Ways to stand out from the crowd:
  • Hands on experience in object-oriented programming

  • Prior design on system level IP (Clocks/DFT/Resets)

  • Experience developing methodologies used by others

  • Hands- on silicon debug is a plus.

  • Exposure to physical design
