ASIC/RTL Design Engineer II

Job Title

ASIC/RTL Design Engineer II

Role Summary

Design and implement RTL for SoC components (ARM cores, Ethernet, DDR, DMA, PCIe, SATA and internal IP). Contribute across chip definition, micro-architecture, implementation, verification, synthesis, timing closure, and silicon bring-up while collaborating with physical execution and software teams.

Onsite in San Jose, CA. 12-month duration. Pay rate: $60.00–$62.00 per hour.

Experience Level

Mid-level (Engineer II). Typical experience range: approximately 3–7 years in industry ASIC/SoC design; exact years not specified.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Lead and participate in RTL design for SoC modules, from micro-architecture to RTL implementation.
• Create and translate micro-architectural specifications into synthesizable RTL.
• Debug and verify RTL; support emulation and silicon bring-up.
• Perform synthesis support and timing-closure activities and collaborate with physical design teams.
• Integrate and work with IP such as ARM cores, Ethernet, DDR, DMA, PCIe, SATA, and client-specific IP.
• Document designs and communicate with cross-functional teams (software, verification, physical).

Requirements
