• Develop and maintain RTL specifications for digital designs, ensuring clarity and accuracy.


• Implement complex design modules with a focus on performance, power, and area efficiency.


• Take ownership of design tasks, including planning, execution, and delivery of work packages.


• Define design tasks for the project, including partitioning, interface specifications, and module definitions.


• Collaborate with verification engineers to ensure functional correctness through simulation and formal verification.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Work closely with physical design engineers, and verification teams to ensure seamless integration of the design.

Documentation and Standards Compliance:

• Document RTL design methodologies, module interfaces, and functional requirements.


• Ensure adherence to coding standards, best practices, and maintainability guidelines.

Qualifications and Skills:

Education: Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

Experience:

• 6+ years of experience in digital design, RTL development, or related roles.
