RTL IC Design Engineer

Job Title

RTL IC Design Engineer

Role Summary

Join Broadcom's Data Center Solutions Group to implement and optimize RTL for PCIe switch and enterprise storage products. The role focuses on Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL implementation, architecture analysis, timing convergence, and supporting designs through silicon validation.

Experience Level

Mid-level. 5+ years of relevant industry experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include RTL implementation, architecture and micro-architecture work, timing closure, and cross-functional support through silicon bring-up.

• Analyze architecture specifications and author/review design documentation.
• Develop and document micro-architecture decisions.
• Implement high-performance Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL per specifications.
• Design and handle asynchronous clock domain crossings, multi-power domains, low-power techniques, pipelining, and multi-threaded logic.
• Apply RTL optimization strategies to achieve timing closure.
• Debug complex RTL issues and produce robust solutions.
• Integrate third-party IP and complex algorithms into RTL as required.
• Collaborate with Verification, Software/Firmware, Emulation, and Validation teams to resolve issues.
• Provide lab support during silicon validation and bring-up.
• Work onsite at company facilities (no remote work allowed).

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience.

• Strong Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design and implementation experience.
• Experience with timing optimization and RTL strategies for timing closure.
• Proven RTL debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Experience integrating third-party IP and implementing complex algorithms in RTL.
• Practical experience supporting lab work and silicon validation.
• Effective cross-functional communication and teamwork skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Knowledge of PCIe, CXL, or AMBA protocols.
• Experience with RAID storage or PCIe switch designs.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or an equivalent engineering degree required. The posting also specifies 5+ years of relevant industry experience.
