Job Details:
Job Description:
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated RTL Design Engineer to drive the architecture, development, and implementation of our Soft IP solutions. In this role, you will own the end-to-end FPGA Soft IP development lifecycle—from micro-architecture definition and RTL coding to timing closure, simulation, and physical hardware validation. You will work closely with embedded software, hardware, and systems engineering teams to deliver robust, high-performance FPGA Soft IP solution solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- RTL Architecture & Coding: Define micro-architecture and implement clean, efficient, and reusable RTL code using System Verilog, Verilog, or VHDL.
- IP Integration & Flow Management: Drive the full FPGA tool flow including synthesis, place-and-route (P&R), constraints creation, and static timing analysis (STA).
- Timing Closure: Resolve complex multi-clock designs, Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) anomalies, and timing violations to ensure robust operation.
- Verification & Simulation: Develop testbenches and run block-level behavioral simulations to thoroughly debug and validate logic functionality before target implementation.
- Hardware Bring-up & Debug: Validate RTL functionality on actual evaluation boards using lab equipment like logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and protocol compliance testers.
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Collaborate with software and board-level hardware teams to establish specifications, interface architectures, and system integration paths.
Required Qualifications & Technical Skills
- Education: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, VLSI, Embedded Systems, or a closely related technical discipline.
- Hardware Description: 7+ years of dedicated experience writing production-grade RTL using System Verilog, Verilog, or VHDL.
- Toolchain Expertise: Hands-on proficiency with major FPGA vendor suites like Altera Quartus Prime, AMD / Xilinx Vivado or Microchip Libero.
- Analysis & Linting: Strong familiarity with static verification methodologies including Linting, CDC validation, and constraint troubleshooting.
- Scripting Skills: Ability to automate tool workflows using Tcl, Python, or Shell scripting.
Preferred / Bonus Skills
- Familiarity with embedded SoC architectures (e.g., ARM Cortex, RISC-V) and hardware-software co-design.
