RTL Design Engineer

This role involves contributing to an AI evaluation program focused on advanced silicon and chip-design workflows. We are looking for senior digital chip design and verification engineers who can commit significant time to this focused engagement, with a start date of 04/23.

Two parallel profiles are available for candidates to apply to:

• Track 1: RTL Design Engineer
• Design and implement digital RTL components.
• Collaborate with architecture, verification, and implementation teams.
• Write clear design documentation and communicate technical tradeoffs.
• Debug RTL issues using simulation logs and waveform viewers.
• Track 2: Design Verification Engineer
• Develop reusable verification components and testbench infrastructure.
• Perform constrained-random verification, functional coverage, and assertions.
• Write verification plans, debug reports, and technical documentation.

For both tracks, candidates should possess:

• 3–10 years of experience in their respective fields.
• Strong proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog for RTL Design or SystemVerilog and UVM for Design Verification.
• Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, including FSMs, datapaths, pipelines, FIFOs, arbiters, clock/reset domains, and bus protocols.
• Experience with ASIC design flows or developing verification components.
• Familiarity with EDA tools for simulation, waveform debug, and coverage analysis.
• Familiarity with LLM-based tools to enhance design or verification workflows.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Experience with AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB).
• Background in areas such as CPU, GPU/ML accelerators, networking, memory subsystems, PCIe/high-speed IO, SoC interconnect, or low-power design/verification.
• Exposure to formal verification or reusable verification IP.

This position is remote, available to candidates in the USA and Canada only. A full-time commitment is preferred, requiring high availability of 40 hours per week.

Hourly compensation ranges from $100 to $175, commensurate with experience.

Candidates must be eligible to work in the USA or Canada without sponsorship.
