ASIC RTL Design Engineer

ASIC RTL Design Engineer Location: Bengaluru, India Experience: 5–10 Years Role Summary We are looking for a highly skilled ASIC RTL Design Engineer to design and develop high-performance PCI Express (PCIe) IPs and SoC components. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in microarchitecture definition, RTL design, and implementation of high-speed digital logic for next-generation semiconductor products. Key Responsibilities Design and implement RTL for PCI Express (PCIe) controllers, subsystems, and high-speed digital IPs.

Translate architecture specifications into efficient microarchitecture and high-quality RTL. Develop scalable, high-performance, and low-power digital designs using Verilog/SystemVerilog. Perform functional analysis, logic optimization, lint, CDC, and synthesis-ready RTL development.

Collaborate with Architecture, Verification, Physical Design, DFT, and Firmware teams throughout the development cycle. Support design reviews, debug functional issues, and resolve silicon bring-up challenges. Drive design quality through coding guidelines, documentation, and best engineering practices.

Required Skills 5–10 years of hands-on experience in ASIC RTL Design. Strong expertise in Microarchitecture , RTL design, and digital logic implementation. Solid experience with PCI Express (PCIe Gen4/Gen5/Gen6) architecture and protocol.

Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog with a strong understanding of synchronous digital design. Experience with Lint, CDC, RDC, Synthesis , and timing-aware RTL development. Good understanding of AMBA protocols (AXI/AHB/APB) and SoC integration.

Familiarity with scripting using Python, Perl, Tcl, or Shell . Experience with Synopsys or Cadence RTL development and synthesis tools. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, VLSI, or a related field.

Preferred Qualifications Experience designing high-performance CPU, AI/ML, Networking, Storage, or Datacenter SoCs. Exposure to CXL, NVMe, DDR, or Ethernet protocols is an added advantage. Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills with the ability to work in cross-functional engineering teams.
