Skills
Candidate Availability
Required and preferred rules are kept separate and reflect the wording in the original posting.
About the Role
You will lead the definition, implementation and delivery of critical IP blocks and subsystems for inference ASICs/SoCs. You will own microarchitecture through RTL signoff, integrate high-performance interconnects and memory interfaces, drive lint, CDC/RDC, DFT and synthesis, develop methodology and automation, partner with verification and architecture, and mentor junior engineers.
Requirements
- BS/MS in EE/CE or related with 8+ years of ASIC/SoC RTL design experience
- Proven track record leading designs from spec to signoff
- Deep SystemVerilog RTL expertise including clocking, resets, CDC/RDC
- Extensive experience with front-end flows (lint, CDC, synthesis/STA, DFT)
- Hands-on expertise with at least three of: HBM/DDR, PCIe/CXL, AMBA AXI/ACE/CHI, cache/memory hierarchies, high-throughput datapaths
- Strong cross-functional communication skills
Responsibilities
- Define and document microarchitecture for complex IP blocks and subsystems
- Deliver production-quality parameterized SystemVerilog RTL
- Lead lint, CDC/RDC, DFT integration, and synthesis bring-up
- Own PPA metrics and drive microarchitectural optimizations
- Architect and integrate interconnects (AXI/CHI/ACE), DMA engines, coherency logic, and memory interfaces (HBM/DDR)
- Engage with IP vendors and internal stakeholders
- Develop coding guidelines, reusable IP packaging, and signoff checklists
- Contribute automation flows (Python/Tcl/Make/CI)
- Partner with Verification on test plans and reference models
- Support bring-up, post-silicon debug, and customer engagements
- Mentor junior engineers and lead design reviews
Benefits
- Equity
- Comprehensive benefits
- Flexible work environment
