IP Logic Design Engineer

• Develops the logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for an IP design.
• Participates in the definition of microarchitecture features of the block being designed. Performs quality checks in various logic design aspects ranging from RTL to timing/power convergence.
• Applies various strategies, tools, and methods to write RTL and optimize logic to qualify the design to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals as well as design integrity for meet the design specification requirements.
• Reviews the verification plan and implementation to ensure design features are verified correctly and resolves and implements corrective measures for failing RTL tests to ensure correctness of features.
• Follows secure development practices to address the security threat model and security objects within the design. Supports SOC to integrate and validate the IP on need basis.
• Drives quality assurance compliance for smooth IPSoC handoff.
