SoC Logic Design Engineer

Job Title

SoC Logic Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and integrate RTL-level logic for SoC and discrete component designs, focusing on feature correctness, performance, power, area, and timing convergence. Work within a cross-functional SoC team to integrate IP blocks and drive quality assurance through IP-to-SoC handoff.

Experience Level

Senior — requires 10+ years of experience in IC/SoC design and microarchitecture.

Responsibilities

Core technical and integration responsibilities include:

• Develop RTL (register-transfer level) logic and perform simulation for SoC blocks and full-chip designs.
• Integrate IP blocks and subsystems into SoC and perform system-level validation.
• Contribute to block architecture and microarchitecture definition.
• Perform quality checks across RTL, timing, and power convergence; iterate to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals.
• Review verification plans, diagnose failing RTL tests, and implement corrective changes.
• Apply secure development practices to address identified security threat models and design security objectives.
• Coordinate with IP providers to integrate and validate IPs at the SoC level and ensure smooth IP-SoC handoff (IPSoC).
• Lead Xeon SoC integration activities in the FE domain.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; behavioral expectations follow.

• 10+ years of practical experience in IC/SoC design and microarchitecture (listed here as required).
• Experience across the full logic development lifecycle from high-level specification through tape-out and production.
• Expertise in one or more domains: x86 server microarchitecture, reset and clocking, power management, DFX (scan, JTAG, VISA, integration).
• Proven ability to write and optimize RTL to meet PPA and timing targets.
• Strong debugging skills for RTL and verification failures; experience with verification plan review and defect resolution.
• Excellent verbal and written communication and documentation skills.
• Able to influence in a matrixed organization and operate effectively where roles are ambiguous across multiple teams and IP/SOC boundaries.

Education Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering (BSEE/CE) minimum; Master’s degree preferred (MS). No other certifications were specified.
