[India] Hardware Design Engineer (ASIC)

Introduction

Edgecortix Inc. is seeking a Hardware Design Engineer with proven RTL/logic and ASIC design expertise. If you have a strong desire to build state-of-the-art digital chips and systems join us and let's reshape the future of AI.

Your Role and Responsibilities:

Ideal candidates will have expertise in several of the following areas:

• RTL Design and module-level verification of modules for Edgecortix inference accelerator IP.


• Participate in synthesis, STA, and power estimation activities.


• Propose and implement low-level micro-architectural optimizations for better area, power, and placeability/routability of design targeting specific tech processes, power, and area budgets.


• Work closely with our architects to support architectural-level decisions providing expert feedback to ensure high design scalability.


• Collaborate with our architects and compiler engineers to determine the best way of implementing new functionality and defining architectural specs.


• Engage in system integration activities for SoC design using third-party IPs and integration tools.


• Engage in IP-level and system-level verification and debugging activities using SystemVerilog and UVM.


• Embrace high standards of engineering practices such as code reviews, technical documentation, propper testing process, continuous integration, and release engineering.

Desired Qualifications (ASIC)

• Ability to write clean, readable, synthesizable RTL.


• Familiarity with AXI, Avalon or similar protocol.


• Experience in low power RTL design.


• Experience in performing logic synthesis using Cadence or Synopsys tools.


• Experience in writing timing constraints and power intent definitions.


• Experience in optimizing design for timing.


• Experience in using power analysis tools such as Joules or PowerPro.


• Understanding of Physical Design issues.


• Understanding of using fixed-point arithmetic for approximating floating-point computations.


• Experience with verification using SystemVerilog and UVM.


• Experience with DDR, PCI-E, MIPI CSI or other high speed protocols is a plus.


• Decent scripting and automation skills using TCL, Python, and Make.


• Basic programming skills in statically typed languages such as C++ or Java.
