TL;DR · RTL / Circuit IP Design Engineer

As an RTL / Circuit IP Design Engineer, you will join the team responsible for planning, building, and executing the implementation of new and existing features for programmable embedded IP. You will work with architects, hardware engineers, and software engineers to develop designs that meet specific power, performance, and area targets while ensuring accurate modeling for customer use. Your daily responsibilities include authoring implementation documentation, estimating timelines, building directed and random verification tests, and debugging test failures to resolve design defects. The role requires proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, and RTL implementation, along with experience in UVM, Linux, and Windows environments. You will utilize Python, Perl, Ruby, or Shell for automation while applying knowledge of circuit design concepts, UPF, and power domain crossings to solve complex problems within the programmable embedded IP product space.

What you'll do

  • Plan, build, and execute the implementation of new and existing features for programmable embedded IP.
  • Ensure final designs meet product targets for power, performance, area, and intended functionality.
  • Author implementation documentation covering hardware interactions and software modeling use cases.
  • Estimate implementation timelines and coordinate with cross-functional teams to incorporate feedback.
  • Build directed and random verification tests for the design.
  • Debug test failures to identify root causes and resolve design defects with RTL and firmware engineers.
  • Analyze functional and code coverage metrics to modify or add tests as required.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer engineering or Electrical Engineering.
  • Proficiency in IP level RTL implementation (preferred).
  • Proficiency in debugging RTL code using simulation tools (preferred).
  • Experience with Verilog and SystemVerilog (preferred).
  • Proficiency in navigating UVM generated test results in Linux and Windows environments (preferred).
  • Strong understanding of circuit design concepts and RTL synthesis best practices (preferred).
  • Proficiency in analytical problem solving, including timing analysis and constraint setting (preferred).
  • Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Ruby, Makefile, or shell (preferred).
