  • Implement RTL in Verilog/SystemVerilog and take designs from specification to implementation.
  • Participate in architectural planning, design reviews, and technical decision-making.
  • Develop and optimize digital logic blocks for memory and storage products.
  • Support SoC integration, including soft-IP RTL and hard-IP macro integration.
  • Collaborate with verification, physical design, firmware, architecture, and product teams.
  • Analyze performance, power, timing, and area trade-offs.
  • Support design bring-up and silicon validation activities.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred skills and experience.

  • Must-have: Minimum 1+ year of industry experience in semiconductor design.
  • Experience with SoC design, ASIC development, RTL design, front-end design, and digital logic design.
  • Proficiency in Verilog and/or SystemVerilog; experience with OVM and/or UVM methodologies.
  • Strong understanding of microarchitecture and digital design fundamentals; experience taking RTL from specification through implementation.
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative global engineering environment.
  • Fluent in Mandarin Chinese and English for cross-region collaboration.
  • Preferred: Experience with SSD controllers, NAND Flash, DRAM, memory controllers, PCIe storage, UFS, eMMC, data center storage solutions, or high-speed digital SoCs; prior semiconductor industry experience is highly desirable.
