The ASIC RTL Design Lead Engineer will lead the design and development of RTL for high-performance, low-power ASICs. The candidate will be responsible for architecting, designing, and implementing digital circuits using industry-standard RTL design methodologies. This individual will also manage a team of design engineers, provide technical leadership, and work closely with cross-functional teams such as verification, physical design, and software teams.
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.
* 5-12 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.
