Silicon Design Engineer - RTL

THE ROLE:

As a member of the Adaptive and Embedded Computing Group, you will help bring to life cutting-edge designs. As a member of the front-end design team, you will work closely with the architecture, IP design, Physical Design teams, and product engineers to achieve first pass silicon success.

THE PERSON:

You have a passion for modern, complex processor architecture, digital design, and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/timezones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, and firmware engineers to understand the new features to be designed and integrated
• Own the design and implementation of blocks to meet functional, timing, area and power requirements
• Guide and review verification for these blocks
• Design and implement logic functions that enable efficient test and debug
• Implement automation to increase design team efficiency

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Strong front-end RTL engineering background
• Strong communication skills, able to summarize complex problems for executives as well as drill down to details with architects and engineers
• Strong analytic and problem solving skills including the ability to analyze current behavior, identify potential areas for improvement, and design of experiments
• Experience with Arm architecture and APB, AXI, CHI protocols
• Experience with design reuse, including RTL, constraints, and waivers
• Experience with SoC level design integration
• Experience with automation using scripting techniques such as PERL, Python, or Tcl
• Experience with timing constraints and timing exceptions
• Experience running standard quality checks such as LINT and CDC
• Experience designing with multiple power domains including writing UPF
• Must be a self-starter and self-motivated

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
