Translate architectural specifications into efficient, maintainable, and scalable hardware designs.
Drive the design lifecycle from microarchitecture definition through RTL development, integration, and simulation readiness.
Develop clean, synthesizable RTL and perform linting, synthesis, and timing analysis.
Resolve functional design challenges regarding interface definition, timing, power, performance, and area tradeoffs.
Collaborate with verification teams to resolve functional issues and ensure design coverage and robustness.
Identify and propose data-driven solutions for cross-block challenges and emerging GPU technologies.

What we're looking for

Relevant experience in semiconductor RTL design for complex SoC, CPU, or GPU architectures.
Hands-on experience in RTL design using Verilog/SystemVerilog, including microarchitecture development, integration, and debug.
Working knowledge of GPU or high-performance digital design concepts, including control logic, datapath, memory systems, and Cache design.
Working knowledge of interpreting architectural specifications and driving design tradeoffs across performance, power, and area (PPA).
Experience with front-end ASIC design flows, including linting, synthesis, timing analysis, and design quality checks.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to identify and propose data-driven solutions.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation.
Applicants must be authorized to access information subject to U.S. export control laws or eligible for government authorization.
