SynopsysJob Title
Principal Engineer - ASIC Digital Design (Memory Interface IP - HBM/DDR/LPDDR)
Role Summary
Lead the digital design and delivery of high-speed memory interface IP (HBM, DDR, LPDDR) within the Memory Interface IP team based in Hyderabad. Responsible for architecture, RTL implementation, integration, and ensuring silicon-quality deliverables.
Collaborate with verification, PHY, physical design, and system teams; drive performance, power, and timing optimizations; and mentor junior engineers.
Experience Level
Senior-level (Principal). The posting does not state specific years; typical expectations for this level are 7+ years of ASIC digital design experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities for the role include design leadership, RTL delivery, and cross-functional integration.
- Architect and implement RTL for HBM/DDR/LPDDR controllers and interfaces.
- Deliver silicon-ready RTL with attention to timing, power, and area.
- Work with verification, PHY, synthesis, and physical design teams to achieve timing closure.
- Create and review timing constraints; perform synthesis and static timing analysis.
- Drive root-cause analysis and debug during silicon bring-up and customer integration.
- Mentor and lead engineers; participate in design reviews and technical planning.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience:
- Proven ASIC digital design experience for memory interfaces (HBM, DDR, LPDDR).
- Strong RTL design skills (SystemVerilog/Verilog) and familiarity with synthesis flows.
- Experience with timing closure, static timing analysis, constraints, and clocking strategies.
- Experience collaborating with PHY teams and system/board integration.
- Demonstrated ability to debug silicon and resolve cross-team integration issues.
- Onsite in Hyderabad, India (role is not remote).
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with high-speed SERDES or PHY design.
- Prior experience leading design teams or major technical projects.
Education Requirements
