Interconnect Micro-architect/RTL Design Engineer

Job Title

Interconnect Micro-architect/RTL Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and implement microarchitecture and synthesizable RTL for scalable, coherent on-chip interconnects (NoC/fabric) used across server, AI, client, and gaming products. Work on performance-, power-, area-, and timing-optimized hardware within a cross-functional, multi-site engineering team.

Note: This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Experience Level

Mid-level (Level - Mid-Career). Specific years of experience not specified.

Responsibilities

Primary duties include microarchitecture definition, RTL implementation, and support for validation and debugging across pre- and post-silicon phases.

• Define microarchitecture for interconnect / network-on-chip components.
• Develop synthesizable RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Optimize designs for power, performance, area, and timing targets.
• Deliver RTL and documentation to verification teams; support unit-level validation.
• Create assertions and contribute to coverage strategies.
• Debug pre-silicon and post-silicon design issues and collaborate with verification teams to resolve them.
• Collaborate with architecture, verification, and cross-functional engineering teams across sites.

Requirements

Core technical skills and practical experience required or strongly expected.

• Proven RTL design experience using Verilog or SystemVerilog.
• Strong digital design fundamentals and experience with high-speed hardware systems.
• Experience debugging RTL or hardware systems.
• Ability to optimize designs for power, performance, area, and timing trade-offs.
• Experience working in cross-functional, multi-site teams and producing clear design documentation.
• Preferred tooling exposure: scripting or programming (Python, C, C++) and familiarity with design-for-test (DFT) concepts.
• Interest or experience using AI-assisted design/debugging tools is desirable.

Education Requirements

BS, MS, or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering preferred.
