Role OverviewWe are seeking an experienced RTL Design Engineer with 5–15 years of hands-on experience in digital design and IP development. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in RTL architecture and micro-architecture definition, with experience developing reusable IP for SoC integration.
Exposure to wireless systems (preferably Wi-Fi) and communication/peripheral IP such as SPI, UART, I2C, DMA, etc., is highly desirable.
Key Responsibilities- Develop high-quality, synthesizable RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog) for digital IP blocks.
- Drive IP development from specification to tape-out.
- Ensure designs meet performance, power, and area (PPA) targets.
- Develop and maintain design documentation (micro-architecture spec, design spec, integration guide).
- Collaborate with verification teams to develop test plans and debug functional issues.
- Support synthesis, lint, CDC/RDC, and timing closure activities.
- Work closely with SoC integration teams for IP integration and bring-up.
- Support post-silicon validation and debug.
- Contribute to IP reuse, configurability, and design methodology improvements.
- Mentor junior engineers
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 5–15 years of experience in RTL design and digital IP development.
- Strong proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog.
- Solid understanding of:
- Digital design fundamentals
- FSM and datapath design
- Pipelining and performance optimization
- Clock domain crossing (CDC) and reset domain crossing (RDC)
- Low-power design concepts
- Experience with synthesis and timing analysis.
- Strong RTL and gate-level debugging skills.
- Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools (Synopsys/Cadence/Mentor).
- Experience with AMBA protocols (AXI/AHB/APB).
- Experience developing communication or peripheral IP such as:
- SPI, UART, I2C/I3C
- DMA controllers
- Timers, interrupt controllers
- Memory controllers
- Exposure to wireless subsystems, preferably Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) architecture or MAC-level understanding.
- Experience with packet processing or high-speed data path design.
- Exposure to security/crypto IP is a plus.
- Scripting knowledge (Python/Perl/TCL).
- Experience in advanced technology nodes is an advantage.
