Expert Hardware/RTL Engineer - SystemVerilog/Verilog

Job Title

Expert Hardware/RTL Engineer - SystemVerilog/Verilog

Role Summary

Evaluate real-world RTL engineering work and produce concise, expert written assessments that judge code quality, correctness, and engineering practice. Work is task-based, time-bounded, and executed inside containerized repositories with automated/CI checks.

Your assessments will directly influence how AI systems are trained to reason about hardware design.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 5+ years professional or research RTL experience in SystemVerilog or Verilog.

Responsibilities

Perform expert reviews of RTL work and document clear, evidence-based evaluations.

• Assess technical tasks against professional standards and explicit evaluation criteria.
• Review and analyze RTL code (SystemVerilog/Verilog) and testbench/UVM implementations.
• Run and interpret programmatic and CI-style checks inside Docker-based repositories.
• Provide precise, structured written rationales explaining judgments and recommendations.
• Complete well-defined, time-bounded tasks; manage variable task flow and occasional weekend availability.

Requirements

Key qualifications and environment expectations.

• Must-have: 5+ years hands-on RTL experience in SystemVerilog or Verilog; strong RTL design and verification fundamentals.
• Must-have: Practical experience with testbench/UVM, FPGA or ASIC flows, and common EDA toolchains (examples: Vivado, Quartus, Synopsys, Cadence).
• Must-have: Comfortable working in Linux/Docker environments and reading automated/CI checks, or able to ramp quickly.
• Must-have: Ability to explain not only what code does but why it is correct or idiomatic in clear writing.
• Nice-to-have: Background in semiconductor, telecom, defense/aerospace, national labs, or academic research; prior FPGA/ASIC delivery experience.
• Engagement details: Hourly compensation range $110–$190/hour; expected commitment 20–40 hours/week; tasks arrive in variable batches.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
