Entry-level / Junior. No specific years of experience specified.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• RTL design and coding.
• Develop testbench simulations and perform verification.
• Debug design issues and ensure functional correctness.
• Create block-level specifications and documentation.
• Support synthesis, timing closure, and physical implementation by providing constraints, documentation, and resolving design issues.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to architecture decisions.
• Implement Design for Test hardware and techniques where applicable for high-speed circuits.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and abilities:

• Proficiency in RTL design using Verilog and/or SystemVerilog.
• Solid understanding of digital logic design, synchronous design principles, and hardware state machines.
• Experience with simulation and debugging tools (ModelSim, VCS, Questa, or similar).
• Ability to collaborate with verification, physical design, and other cross-functional teams.
• Proficient English communication (spoken and written).
• Ability to work independently and in teams and prepare technical presentations.

Nice-to-have:
