You are an early-career RTL or design methodology engineer who enjoys solving complex technical problems and learning new tools and flows. You thrive in a fast-paced engineering environment and are motivated by the opportunity to improve design productivity and quality.

You are comfortable working on a small, highly capable team where initiative and ownership are valued, and you enjoy collaborating with design and verification teams to continuously improve engineering processes.

KEY RESPONSIBILITITES:

• We will guide you as you ramp up on our RTL design and static verification tools and methodology ecosystem.
• Collaborate with the design team to drive continuous improvements in front-end design methodologies, ensuring top-quality RTL across areas such as Lint, CDC, formal equivalence, and low-power verification.
• Leverage corporate AI systems to increase productivity and streamline workflows.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience in logic design and static verification (SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL).
• Strong background in RTL/logic design.
• Programming skills in Perl, Python, and TCL.
