Digital IP Engineer

Job Title

Digital IP Engineer

Role Summary

Develop high-quality, reusable digital IPs for SoC/subsystem integration and drive designs from concept through silicon. Work with architecture, verification, synthesis, and validation teams to meet power, performance, area, and timing targets.

Experience Level

Mid-level (no explicit years-of-experience stated).

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and deliver digital IP blocks and support integration and sign-off.

• Define micro-architecture from IP requirements and implement RTL.
• Develop RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL aligned with specifications.
• Optimize designs for power, performance, and area.
• Run and interpret design checks: lint, CDC, synthesis, static timing analysis (STA).
• Drive bug triage, fixes, and closure through bring-up and sign-off.
• Support design reviews, IP integration, and handoff to verification and silicon teams.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on test plans and coverage closure.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and hands-on experience; preferred items listed separately.

• Strong RTL design skills (Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL).
• Solid understanding of SoC/IP design and integration.
• Hands-on experience with linting, CDC checks, synthesis flows, and timing analysis/STA.
• Experience with low-power design techniques and power-aware implementation.
• Proven ability to translate system-level requirements into IP micro-architecture and RTL.
• Experience driving bug fixes and supporting design sign-off.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience in full-cycle IP/SoC development (architecture through silicon bring-up).
• Exposure to formal verification or low-power verification flows.
• Experience with post-silicon validation and bring-up.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
