Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's Degree with +0 Years of Experience

Preferred Qualifications

Solid understanding of digital logic design and RTL development (SystemVerilog, Verilog). Familiarity with SoC design flows and tools (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence). Experience with bus protocols (AXI, AHB, APB) and interface standards (PCIe, USB, DDR). Knowledge of ASIC tool flows: lint, synthesis, CDC, DFT, STA. Strong scripting skills (Python, Perl, TCL, Shell) for automation. Good debugging and problem-solving skills. Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration.

Description

The ideal candidate will have experience in ASIC design with: • IP Integration: Integrate third-party or internal IP blocks (e.g., CPU, GPU, memory controllers, custom logic) into a SoC. • RTL Integration: Manage and merge RTL codebases, ensure connectivity and bus/interface protocols (e.g., AMBA, AXI, AHB) are correctly implemented. • Top-Level Assembly: Create and maintain top-level SoC RTL, wrappers, and interconnects. • Linting and Synthesis: Run and debug lint, CDC/RDC, and logic synthesis to ensure design quality. • Build and Test Infrastructure: Develop and maintain automated build and regression systems for integration. • Design Constraints: Define and validate synthesis and timing constraints (SDC files). • Timing Closure: Work closely with physical design and STA teams to achieve timing closure at top level. • Functional Verification Support: Provide integration-level support to design verification teams, including simulation bring-up and debug. • Documentation and Reviews: Create and maintain design documents and participate in design reviews.
