TL;DR · RTL Design & Integration Engineer

As an RTL Design & Integration Engineer on the FPGA Product development team, you will execute technical tasks for Adaptive & Embedded Computing Group device programs from conception through productization. You will build early-stage RTL designs based on architecture intent and develop AI-driven infrastructure to accelerate IP integration and improve development timelines. Your daily work involves collaborating with architects and hardware engineers to meet product requirements while supporting functional simulation and software quality checks. The role requires expertise in Verilog, SystemVerilog, and VLSI design flows including floorplanning, synthesis, P&R, and STA. You will utilize EDA tools such as Synopsys Design Compiler, Primetime, VCS, and Cadence Virtuoso, alongside scripting languages like Perl, Tcl, Python, and Shell. This position focuses on solving complex silicon implementation challenges for next-generation products across various technology nodes.

What you'll do

  • Execute technical development of FPGA device programs from conception through productization.
  • Develop early-stage RTL designs based on product and architecture requirements.
  • Build and enhance AI-driven infrastructure to accelerate IP integration and development timelines.
  • Apply data-driven methodologies to align engineering teams across different technology nodes.
  • Perform functional simulations and software quality checks to ensure robust verification coverage.
  • Optimize silicon implementation for power, performance, area (PPA), cost, and schedule.
  • Utilize advanced EDA tools and scripting languages to automate design processes.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
  • Expertise in RTL design using Verilog and SystemVerilog (preferred).
  • Understanding of VLSI design flow from RTL through Physical Design and GDSII (preferred).
  • Familiarity with physical implementation processes including floorplanning, synthesis, P&R, and STA (preferred).
  • Experience with EDA tools such as Synopsys Design Compiler, Primetime, VCS, or Cadence Virtuoso (preferred).
  • Knowledge of UVM/OVM verification, simulation environments, and debugging (preferred).
  • Understanding of FPGA architecture and usage models (preferred).
  • Proficiency in scripting languages including Perl, Tcl, Python, and Shell for design automation (preferred).
