Senior — typically 5+ years of relevant ASIC/RTL/IP design experience.
Responsibilities
The core responsibilities focus on delivering production‑quality IP, ensuring correctness and performance, and improving design flows.
- Develop IP and technology components for advanced SoCs.
- Collaborate with architects to translate architecture specs into detailed micro‑architecture and design specifications.
- Own micro‑architecture, RTL coding, debugging and design quality checks.
- Work with verification teams on test plans and debug activities.
- Improve design methodologies, flows and guidelines.
- Mentor and support junior engineers to ensure successful project delivery.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience required for the role.
- 5+ years of hands‑on experience in digital hardware/IP or subsystem design.
- Synthesis and timing analysis expertise.
- Power management and low‑power design techniques; clock and power domain implementation.
- Digital hardware design with strong Verilog RTL development skills; experience writing design and micro‑architecture specifications.
- Familiarity with static checks: lint, CDC, RDC and power checks.
- Proficiency with scripting (Perl, Python, or similar) for automation and tooling.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with ARM‑based designs or ARM system architectures.
- Exposure to advanced synthesis checks, functional verification techniques (including X‑propagation, GLS), DFT and physical implementation flows.
