Job Description

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced RTL Design Engineer with 5–15 years of hands-on experience in digital design and IP development. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in RTL architecture and micro-architecture definition, with experience developing reusable IP for SoC integration.

Exposure to wireless systems (preferably Wi-Fi) and communication/peripheral IP such as SPI, UART, I2C, DMA, etc., is highly desirable.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop high-quality, synthesizable RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog) for digital IP blocks.
  • Drive IP development from specification to tape-out.
  • Ensure designs meet performance, power, and area (PPA) targets.
  • Develop and maintain design documentation (micro-architecture spec, design spec, integration guide).
  • Collaborate with verification teams to develop test plans and debug functional issues.
  • Support synthesis, lint, CDC/RDC, and timing closure activities.
  • Work closely with SoC integration teams for IP integration and bring-up.
  • Support post-silicon validation and debug.
  • Contribute to IP reuse, configurability, and design methodology improvements.
  • Mentor junior engineers

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • 5–15 years of experience in RTL design and digital IP development.
  • Strong proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog.
  • Solid understanding of:
  • Digital design fundamentals
  • FSM and datapath design
  • Pipelining and performance optimization
  • Clock domain crossing (CDC) and reset domain crossing (RDC)
  • Low-power design concepts
  • Experience with synthesis and timing analysis.
  • Strong RTL and gate-level debugging skills.
  • Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools (Synopsys/Cadence/Mentor).
  • Experience with AMBA protocols (AXI/AHB/APB).

Preferred Experience

  • Experience developing communication or peripheral IP such as:
  • SPI, UART, I2C/I3C
  • DMA controllers
  • Timers, interrupt controllers
  • Memory controllers
  • Exposure to wireless subsystems, preferably Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) architecture or MAC-level understanding.
  • Experience with packet processing or high-speed data path design.
  • Exposure to security/crypto IP is a plus.
  • Scripting knowledge (Python/Perl/TCL).
  • Experience in advanced technology nodes is an advantage.

Experience with artificial intelligence (AI) powered tools and technologies used to enhance productivity, analysis, and decision-making

Benefits & Perks:

Not only will you be joining a highly skilled and tight-knit team where every engineer makes a significant impact on the product; we also strive for good work/life balance and to make our environment welcoming and fun.

  • Equity Rewards (RSUs)
  • Insurance plans with Outpatient cover
  • National Pension Scheme (NPS)
  • Flexible work policy
