SoC RTL Design Engineer

Job Title

SoC RTL Design Engineer

Role Summary

Join the hardware design team to develop RTL for SoC and FPGA IP blocks and support full-chip integration and verification. The role focuses on RTL coding, SoC integration checks, and collaborating with architects and cross-site teams.

This is a technical individual-contributor position based in Pune, India, working on FPGA-related SoC projects.

Experience Level

Mid-level — typically requires around 6+ years of relevant RTL/SoC design experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include delivering RTL design and ensuring integration quality.

• Design and implement RTL for key FPGA/SoC blocks using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Define micro-architecture in collaboration with architects and micro-architect teams.
• Lead SoC integration tasks and perform integration quality checks (lint, CDC, RDC, SDC).
• Develop assertions, checkers, and scripts to improve design quality and reduce debug time.
• Evaluate and select third-party IP and drive integration of processor and bus interfaces.
• Collaborate with global teams across sites and time zones; occasional travel as required.
• Mentor and train team members on best-known-methods and learn FPGA-specific implementation details.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience.

• 6+ years of experience in RTL and logic design across silicon projects.
• Strong RTL coding skills in Verilog and SystemVerilog and proven design methodology.
• Experience with SoC integration, micro-architecture definition, and selecting third-party IP.
• Familiarity with integration and quality flows: lint, CDC, RDC, SDC, and related verification checks.
• Experience with processor and bus interfaces (ARM, AXI/AMBA) and common interfaces (ENET, PCIe) is desirable.
• Familiarity with FPGA architectures and use-cases is a plus.
• Independent problem-solver with strong cross-team communication skills.

Education Requirements

BS, MS, or PhD in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
