Job Description

RTL Design Engineer


Bay Area


Key Responsibilities:

• RTL Design & Development: Write and debug synthesizable RTL code using Verilog

or System Verilog for application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).

• Static Verification: Execute front-end quality checks, including RTL Lint, Clock

Domain Crossing (CDC), and Reset Domain Crossing (RDC).

• Synthesis & Optimization: Run logic synthesis to generate optimized gate-level

netlists targeting strict constraints for power, area, and timing.

• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with architecture, physical design,

and firmware teams to translate high-level specifications into physical silicon.

• Automation: Develop scripting tools (e.g., Python, Perl, Tcl) to automate

implementation and testing flows.


Minimum Qualifications:

Education: B.S. or M.S. degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely

related technical field.

Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in System Verilog, HDL coding, and knowledge of frontend ASIC design flows.

Verification Experience: Hands-on experience with linting, formal verification, and SoC

integration (Reset, PLLs, Clocking).

Communication: Ability to collaborate with multi-functional teams and handle hardwaresoftware interface discussions
