RTL/ASIC Design Engineer for High-Performance Silicon

Starlink; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 140,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

SpaceX is seeking a Sr. RTL Design Engineer (Silicon Engineering) to develop next-generation ASICs for Starlink ground and space infrastructure. You will design, implement, verify RTL in Verilog/SystemVerilog, and work with cross-disciplinary teams to push performance and power.

The role requires strong problem solving for clock domains, AXI/AMBA interfaces, and high-speed, low-power design techniques. Applicants should have a B.S. in ECE/CS and 5+ years RTL experience; ITAR compliance applies.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering, or computer science.
• 5+ years of RTL implementation experience.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate architectural trade-offs based on features, performance requirements and system limitations.
• Define micro-architecture, implement the RTL in Verilog/SystemVerilog, integrate that in top level and deliver the fully verified, synthesis/timing clean design
• Work closely with verification team to ensure all aspects of the design are covered and verified
• Provide timing constraint for those IPs and support the physical implementation team (synthesis, timing closure, formality check)
• Participate in silicon bring-up and validation
