SoC Logic Design Engineer

Job Title

SoC Logic Design Engineer

Role Summary

The engineer will develop and optimize RTL logic and integrate IP/subsystems into full SoC or discrete designs for data-center platforms. The role focuses on RTL coding, simulation, design-quality checks, and collaborating across architecture, verification, and IP teams to meet power, performance, area, and timing targets. This position is based in Beijing and requires on-site presence.

Experience Level

Entry-level - college graduate / 0–1 years of hands-on experience (internships, academic projects, or equivalent practical experience).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Develop RTL (SystemVerilog/Verilog) and perform functional simulations for SoC blocks.
• Integrate IP blocks and subsystems into full-chip SoC or discrete component designs.
• Contribute to architecture and microarchitecture decisions for assigned blocks.
• Perform quality checks on RTL, timing, power convergence, and physical-implementation integrity.
• Optimize logic for power, performance, area, and timing objectives.
• Review verification plans, investigate and resolve failing RTL tests.
• Follow secure development practices to address security objectives in the design.
• Coordinate with IP providers for IP integration, validation, and IP-SoC handoffs.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• Proficiency in RTL design with SystemVerilog and Verilog.
• Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, including clock-domain crossing and power gating.
• Familiarity with SoC architecture, microarchitecture, and integration principles.
• Ability to work on-site in Beijing and collaborate across cross-functional teams.
• Practical exposure to SoC logic design through internships, academic projects, or training (0–1 years).

Nice-to-have:

• Experience writing verification testbenches and familiarity with verification methodologies.
• Knowledge of SoC clocking structures and topologies.
• Experience with technical documentation and cross-team communication.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field is expected. A Master's degree in a related field is preferred (Master's candidates with no prior professional experience are acceptable). Candidates with relevant internships, academic projects, or equivalent practical experience are considered.
