TL;DR · Senior RTL Design Engineer

As a Sr. RTL Design Engineer on the FPGA Product and Platform development team, you will contribute to the technical execution of Adaptive & Embedded Computing Group device programs from definition through productization. You will design and implement RTL for complex digital and mixed-signal blocks using Verilog and SystemVerilog while supporting physical design activities like synthesis, DFT implementation, and Static Timing Analysis. Your daily work involves collaborating with functional verification teams using UVM and developing automation tools via Perl, Tcl, Shell, and Python. The role focuses on the development of silicon implementations for high-speed interfaces including HBM, SerDes, PCIe, and memory subsystems. You will navigate the full ASIC/SoC development flow to solve complex engineering challenges within the domain of FPGA architectures and advanced hardware integration for integrated circuit design.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement RTL for complex digital and mixed-signal blocks using Verilog and SystemVerilog.
  • Participate in all stages of the design flow from initial RTL development through GDS implementation.
  • Support physical design activities including synthesis, DFT implementation, place-and-route, and Static Timing Analysis (STA).
  • Collaborate with Functional Verification teams to support block-level verification using constrained-random and directed test environments.
  • Develop and maintain design automation flows and tools using Perl, Tcl, Shell, and Python.
  • Implement DFT solutions for large-scale SoCs including scan, compression, MBIST, and LBIST technologies.
  • Resolve technical issues and ensure project milestones are met across global engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field.
  • Experience designing and implementing RTL for complex digital and mixed-signal blocks using Verilog and SystemVerilog.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages including Perl, Tcl, Shell, and Python to maintain design automation flows.
  • Knowledge of physical design activities such as synthesis, DFT implementation, place-and-route, and Static Timing Analysis (STA).
  • Experience with UVM/OVM verification methodologies, testbench development, and simulation environments (preferred).
  • Experience with high-speed interfaces and complex IPs like HBM, Die-to-Die, SerDes, PCIe, and memory subsystems (preferred).
  • Hands-on experience with industry-standard EDA tools such as Synopsys and Cadence suites (preferred).
  • Proven experience implementing DFT solutions for large-scale SoCs including scan, compression, MBIST, and LBIST (preferred).
