Front End ASIC RTL/Logic Design Engineer

Job Title

Front End ASIC RTL/Logic Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and implement front-end ASIC RTL for IP blocks and functional units intended for integration into system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Work within a hardware design team to define microarchitecture, produce RTL, verify functionality, and ensure the block meets power, performance, area, and timing goals.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Years of experience not specified.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include RTL development, verification support, and preparing IP for SoC integration.

• Develop logic design, write RTL (HDL) code, and perform RTL simulation for IP blocks and functional units.
• Participate in defining architecture and microarchitecture of the block being designed.
• Optimize RTL and logic to meet power, performance, area, and timing requirements and to ensure physical implementation integrity.
• Review verification plans and work with verification teams to resolve failing RTL tests and correctness issues.
• Support SoC customers and integration teams to ensure high-quality integration and verification of the IP block.
• Drive quality-assurance activities to enable smooth IP-to-SoC handoff.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and professional competencies; nice-to-have items listed separately.

• Proficiency in RTL coding using HDL languages and familiarity with logic simulation and debug environments.
• Strong communication, leadership, problem solving, investigation, and analytical skills.
• Knowledge of Spyglass, synthesis flows, static timing analysis (e.g., PrimeTime), UPF (power intent), UVM, SPICE, and DFT methodologies.
• Experience supporting integration and verification of IP blocks in SoC contexts.
• Nice-to-have: scripting skills for automation and tool flow integration.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electronics Engineering (BS/MS/PhD in Electronics Engineering) as specified in the posting.
