Rtl design engineer

RTL Design Engineer
Key Responsibilities
- Analyze architectural specifications and define detailed microarchitecture for digital design blocks.
- Develop synthesizable RTL using Verilog/System Verilog for IPs, subsystems, and So C components.
- Create and maintain design documentation, including microarchitecture specifications, interface definitions, and implementation guidelines.
- Collaborate with architecture teams to evaluate design trade-offs and optimize solutions for performance, power, and area (PPA).
- Perform RTL quality checks, including:
- Lint analysis
- CDC (Clock Domain Crossing) checks
- RDC (Reset Domain Crossing) checks
- Synthesis and design rule compliance reviews
- Support functional verification teams by reviewing test plans, debugging simulation failures, and resolving design issues.
- Work closely with RTL integration teams to ensure proper subsystem and So C-level integration.
- Support synthesis, timing analysis, and physical design teams in achieving timing and implementation closure.
- Analyze and debug functional, timing, and silicon-related issues during pre-silicon and post-silicon phases.
- Participate in design reviews and ensure compliance with coding standards and development methodologies.
- Contribute to low-power design implementation and power optimization techniques.
- Develop reusable design methodologies, scripts, and automation to improve productivity and design quality.
- Support tapeout activities and provide engineering support through silicon bring-up and validation.
Required Skills & Experience
- Strong experience in RTL design using Verilog/System Verilog.
- Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, computer architecture, and So C design concepts.
- Experience in microarchitecture development and RTL implementation.
- Knowledge of AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB) and standard on-chip interconnects.
- Familiarity with lint, CDC, RDC, synthesis, and static timing analysis flows.
- Understanding of low-power design techniques, clock gating, reset architecture, and power intent methodologies.
- Experience with EDA tools for simulation, synthesis, and RTL quality analysis.
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams and manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced development environment.
