Requirements

  • 5–10 years of ASIC, SoC, or IP design experience
  • Experience in microarchitecture and RTL development
  • Verilog and SystemVerilog proficiency
  • Understanding of clocking, reset, DVFS, and low-power modes
  • Knowledge of RISC-V or ARM-based SoCs
  • Knowledge of AXI, AHB, APB, and CHI protocols
  • Awareness of ISO 26262 practices
  • Experience with LINT, CDC/RDC, power-intent checks, Verdi, NCSIM, and power-estimation tools
  • Eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled technology

Responsibilities

  • Own microarchitecture definition and RTL development for system IP
  • Design and optimize power-management, interrupt-controller, AXI-interconnect, and cache-controller IP
