RTL design engineers will join a highly focused group where you will help in the design and integrate our next generation compute solutions using innovative technologies, methodologies and tools.
• As a creative design engineer with a knowledge of SoCs you will be an integral part of a design team developing logic for subsystems and SoCs.
• Key responsibilities will include reviewing the SoC solution architecture, crafting the design micro architecture specifications, RTL development, fixing bugs, running various design checks, power constraints intentgeneration, supporting RTL / netlist power analysis implementation constraint generation.
• Design engineers are encouraged to work closely with verification team to review test plans and help debugging design issues.
• Closely collaborate with the performance and power analysis teams to evaluate and improve system performance and power.
• Mentor junior engineers and support their growth and development
• Continuous innovation by improving the design methodologies used by the team
• You will balance other opportunities such as working with Project Management on activities, plans, and schedules.

Required Skills and Experience :

• Bachelors (BS) or Masters (MS / MSc) in Electronics, Electrical or Computer Engineering - although other degrees will be considered with relevant work experience.
• Experience of RTL design for complex SoCs and ASIC products
• Ability to make trade-offs between power, performance and area will be vital to the role.
• Knowledge of RTL development using Verilog, System Verilog or VHDL
• Exposure to all stages of Design,initial concept, specification, implementation, power and performance analysis, power optimisation, testing, documentation and support
• Produce specifications and documentation describing sophisticated designs.
• Fundamentals of computer architecture and systems
• Experience working on Processor based system designs
• Knowledge of shell programming / scripting (Tcl Perl, Python etc.)

Nice To Have Skills and Experience :

• Practical experience of working on Arm IPs based SoCs
• Knowledge of Arm architecture and bus protocols
