Job Type: Full-time

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated RTL Design Engineer with strong expertise in microarchitecture design and RTL development for advanced semiconductor and SoC solutions. This role is ideal for professionals who enjoy designing high-performance digital hardware, taking ownership of complex RTL implementation, and contributing to the development of next-generation processor and IP solutions.

As an RTL Design Engineer, you will be responsible for translating architectural specifications into high-quality RTL, collaborating with architecture, verification, and integration teams, and ensuring successful implementation of complex digital designs. The role requires strong technical expertise, analytical thinking, and the ability to drive end-to-end design activities from microarchitecture through integration and debugging.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop high-quality RTL for complex digital IPs and SoC components based on architectural specifications.
• Own RTL implementation from microarchitecture definition through coding, review, and design closure.
• Develop robust and scalable microarchitecture solutions that meet performance, power, and area targets.
• Collaborate closely with architecture, verification, and integration teams throughout the design lifecycle.
• Work on processor-based designs with a strong focus on ARM Cortex-M7 architecture and related subsystems.
• Support IP integration activities by resolving design issues and ensuring seamless interoperability across SoC components.
• Perform RTL debugging, root-cause analysis, and functional issue resolution during development and integration.
• Review design specifications and contribute to architectural discussions to improve implementation quality.
• Ensure compliance with coding standards, design methodologies, and industry best practices.
• Participate in design reviews, technical discussions, and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance design quality and efficiency.
• Support verification teams by clarifying design intent and resolving functional issues during simulation and validation.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 7+ years of experience in RTL Design within the semiconductor industry.
• Strong hands-on expertise in RTL development using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Proven experience in microarchitecture design and implementation of complex digital hardware.
• Strong understanding of ARM Cortex-M7 (CM7) architecture and processor-based designs.
• Experience working on SoC integration or IP-level development projects.
• Solid RTL debugging skills with the ability to analyze and resolve complex design issues.
• Good understanding of digital design principles, timing, synthesis, and design optimization techniques.
• Familiarity with AMBA, AXI, or AHB bus protocols is an added advantage.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging capabilities.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across architecture, verification, and integration teams.
• Self-driven mindset with strong ownership, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering high-quality silicon-ready designs.
