Proven track record in low‑power RTL techniques (clock gating, power‑domain isolation, dynamic voltage/frequency scaling).
Familiarity with verification flow (UVM, simulation, coverage) to effectively collaborate with DV teams.
Advanced scripting/automation skills (tcl, perl, python, Bash) for flow automation and CI/CD pipelines.
Excellent written and verbal communication; strong stakeholder‑management skills across global functional teams.
Demonstrated ability to lead design efforts, meet aggressive schedule milestones, and mentor junior engineers.
Preferred qualifications
Define and implement RTL architecture for complex SoCs, selecting appropriate coding styles, clocking strategies, and low‑power techniques.
Develop and maintain synthesizable SystemVerilog/VHDL code for digital blocks (core, peripherals, interfaces, DMA, etc.).
Create and own RTL simulation and synthesis testbenches, running regression to verify functional correctness and timing closure.
Collaborate with verification engineers to ensure comprehensive test coverage, resolve RTL bugs, and support pre‑silicon validation.
Perform timing analysis, constraint development (SDC), and STA, iterating on RTL to meet clock‑frequency, setup/hold, and power budgets.
Lead power‑aware design techniques (clock gating, power domains, voltage scaling) and ensure compliance with low‑power specifications.
Participate in design reviews, providing clear documentation of design decisions, trade‑offs, and risk assessments.
Drive RTL quality improvement by establishing coding guidelines, linting policies, and best‑practice checklists.
Mentor junior RTL designers, fostering a culture of code quality, continuous learning, and knowledge sharing.
Work with the EDA team to evaluate and integrate new synthesis, place‑and‑route, and static timing tools, improving flow efficiency.
Support post‑silicon bring‑up and bring‑down activities, assisting software/ROM teams with RTL‑related debug and performance tuning.
