Experience: 7+ Years

Location: Bangalore

Work Mode: Hybrid / Remote

Job Overview

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior RTL ASIC Design Engineer with strong hands-on experience in SDC Constraints. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in RTL design, timing constraints, and close collaboration with synthesis and STA teams.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop RTL (Verilog/System Verilog) for complex ASIC blocks and subsystems

Create, review, and maintain SDC constraints (clock definitions, I/O constraints, false paths, multicycle paths, exceptions, etc.)

Work closely with synthesis, STA, physical design, and verification teams to achieve timing closure

Perform RTL quality checks, linting, and CDC analysis

Support timing debugging and constraint optimization across multiple design iterations

Participate in architecture discussions and design reviews

Ensure deliverables meet performance, power, and area (PPA) goals.

Experience working with Synopsys tools (DC, Prime Time – preferred)

Strong knowledge of timing concepts and timing closure

Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills

Good to Have

Experience in low-power design techniques

Exposure to CDC/RDC methodologies

Experience with complex So C designs

Scripting knowledge (Tcl / Perl / Python)

Prior experience working with global or distributed teams
