RTL Design & Microarchitecture

RTL Design Engineer

We are looking for a motivated RTL Design Engineer to join our semiconductor engineering team. The candidate will contribute to digital design activities across IP, subsystem, and SoC development, from microarchitecture and RTL implementation through integration and design closure. The role involves developing synthesizable RTL, integrating reusable IPs and interfaces, supporting design quality checks, and collaborating with verification and implementation teams.

What you'll do

  • Understand architecture and specifications and translate requirements into microarchitecture and synthesizable RTL.
  • Develop and integrate Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL for IPs, blocks, subsystems, and SoC-level designs.
  • Design control logic, datapaths, FSMs, pipelines, memories, interconnects, and interface logic.
