ASIC RTL Design Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Own RTL design for SoC-level blocks or large subsystems from specification to silicon bring-up.
• Define and implement micro-architecture; write high-quality, synthesizable RTL in SystemVerilog/Verilog.
• Collaborate with physical design teams on synthesis, timing closure, power and area optimization, DFT hooks, and ECOs.
• Drive block/subsystem integration and ensure seamless bring-up.
• Work closely with verification teams to define test plans, assertions (SVA), and coverage goals.
• Support silicon validation, post-silicon debug, and drive closure of design bugs.
• Apply low-power design techniques (UPF, retention, isolation) and adhere to clock/reset design best practices.
• Work on standard bus protocols such as AXI, ACE, AHB, and APB for interconnects, memory subsystems, and I/O integration.
• Deliver production ASIC tapeouts, owning critical blocks like interconnects, coherency, memory subsystems, high-speed I/O, security, or power-management islands.
• Enhance design productivity using scripting languages such as Tcl and Python to automate RTL development tasks.
