Digital Design RTL Engineer
BroadcomJob Title
Digital Design RTL Engineer
Role Summary
Design and implement SystemVerilog RTL for SoC components, taking features from specification through timing closure and physical design hand-off. Work within a digital design team and collaborate with Architecture, Verification, and Physical Design to meet PPA and schedule targets.
Focus on high-performance interfaces and memory/protocol integration in advanced process nodes; deliver production-quality RTL with attention to performance, power, area, CDC, and low-power techniques.
Experience Level
Senior — typically 5+ years of industry experience in digital ASIC/SoC RTL design or related roles.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Drive RTL design from specification to timing closure and physical-design hand-off with high autonomy.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Architecture, Verification, and Physical Design to identify and mitigate risks and meet project milestones.
- Write, review, and maintain high-quality SystemVerilog RTL and related design documentation.
- Optimize designs for performance, power, and area (PPA); perform CDC analysis and implement low-power techniques.
- Integrate and validate high-speed interfaces and memory protocols within SoC contexts.
Requirements
Must-have and preferred skills (education requirements are listed separately below):
- Must-have: Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog and proven experience delivering RTL for production SoCs.
- Must-have: 5+ years of industry experience in digital design with practical SoC integration experience.
- Must-have: Experience driving timing closure and preparing designs for physical hand-off.
- Nice-to-have: Experience with advanced process nodes (5nm and below), PPA optimization, CDC analysis, and low-power design techniques.
- Nice-to-have: Experience with LPDDR4/5, LPDDR5/6, DDR4/5, high-speed SerDes, or HBM protocols.
- Nice-to-have: Proven ability to work across Architecture, Verification, and Physical Design teams.
Education Requirements
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) required; Master (MSEE) or PhD preferred. Fields: Electrical Engineering or closely related technical disciplines. No alternative "equivalent experience" language was specified in the posting.
