Senior SoC Logic Design Engineer

Job Title

Senior SoC Logic Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and deliver System-on-Chip (SoC) logic for data center, client, networking and AI products. Lead RTL engineers to integrate IP blocks and subsystems into full-chip or discrete component designs, and ensure designs meet performance, power, area and security objectives.

Work with cross-functional teams (IP providers, verification, physical design) to drive quality, handoff processes, and design convergence from RTL through implementation.

Experience Level

Senior — position requires extensive experience (guidance from posting: Bachelor's +12 years or Master's +10 years).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Develop RTL, implement register-transfer level coding and run simulations for SoC designs.
• Integrate IP blocks and subsystems into a full-chip SoC or discrete component design.
• Define and apply architecture and microarchitecture features for logic blocks under design.
• Perform quality checks from RTL to timing and power convergence; ensure alignment with design goals.
• Write and optimize RTL for power, performance, area, and timing while maintaining implementation integrity.
• Review verification plans and implementations; resolve failing RTL tests and implement corrective measures.
• Follow secure development practices to address security threats and meet security objectives.
• Collaborate with IP providers to integrate and validate IPs at the SoC level.
• Drive quality assurance and efficient IP/SoC handoff processes.
• Lead and mentor a team of RTL engineers delivering advanced SoCs and subsystems.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• Proven proficiency in RTL design, coding, and simulation techniques.
• Strong understanding of low-power design, SoC integration, and system architecture.
• Experience debugging microarchitecture and simulation failures.
• Expertise applying front-end SoC quality and efficiency guardrails.
• Experience leading engineering teams and collaborating across IP, verification, and implementation teams.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with Server, Client, Networking, or AI SoC development and driving process or methodology improvements.

Education Requirements

Minimum: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 12+ years of experience; OR Master's degree in those fields with 10+ years of experience. Fields of study referenced: Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical fields.
