Asic Rtl Design Engineer

Role & responsibilities

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage RTL design activities for complex ASICs, ensuring high performance and low power consumption.
• Integrating RTL components into System-on-Chip (SoC) designs Integrating RTL components into System-on-Chip (SoC) designs
• Architect and implement RTL for digital circuits (such as processors, communication systems, or custom IP cores).
• Mentor and guide junior RTL engineers in best practices for design, coding standards, and optimization techniques.
• Develop and refine RTL code in Verilog/SystemVerilog for ASIC development.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Verification, Physical Design, and Software) to ensure successful integration of the ASIC design.
• Perform RTL design reviews, debugging, and optimization to meet design targets such as area, speed, and power.
• Work on creating micro-architectural specifications and ensure the design meets project requirements.
• Ensure designs are implemented with proper synchronization, timing constraints, and low power techniques.
• Participate in top-level design, integrating IP blocks, ensuring design consistency across subsystems.
• Drive the design flow from architecture and specifications through to implementation.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation for designs and related processes.
• CDC, LINT and Integration expertise is expected.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields.
• 3-12 years of experience in RTL design for ASICs, with at least 3 years in a team lead role.
• Expertise in RTL design using Verilog or System Verilog.
• Solid understanding of digital design principles, including timing analysis, state machines, and pipelining.
• In-depth knowledge of ASIC design flow, from RTL to tape-out.
• Experience with EDA tools for synthesis, simulation, and timing analysis (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence).
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Good knowledge on scripting (Python, Perl and Shell scripting)
• Knowledge of power, performance, and area (PPA) optimization techniques.
• Experience with designing for low-power, high-speed circuits is highly desirable.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work in a team environment.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with complex subsystems such as memory controllers, interconnects, or high-speed I/O.
• Prior experience working with large, cross-functional teams and managing design schedules.
• Experience with software tools for RTL analysis and optimization.
• Hands-on experience in leading ASIC projects from specification to production.
