Job description
Role Overview
We are looking for a highly skilled RTL Designer to develop high-performance, scalable, and power-efficient digital designs for next-generation SoCs and Chiplets targeting AI, HPC, and Networking applications . This role requires deep expertise in RTL design, micro-architecture, and integration of high-speed interfaces, along with a strong focus on quality, performance, and first-time silicon success .
What You’ll Do
Specify and own the reset sequencing architecture. Own the secure boot and fuse micro architecture and design.
Coordinate with the subsystem leads on reference clock distribution, clock-domain crossing points at subsystem interfaces.
Collaborate with the firmware team to define the hardware/software interface: interrupt controller, timer, UART/JTAG debug port, and any DMA or mailbox channels
Own the clock-gating implementation strategy: coarse-grain vs. fine-grain gating, ICG cell selection, and sign-off methodology for dynamic power reduction.
Define the chip-level power-domain plan: which blocks share supplies, where level-shifters and isolation cells are required, and how power states map to the PCIe and UCIe link power management protocols.
Own the on-chip power management logic: power-state machine, supply sequencing, voltage regulator integration, and the firmware interface for runtime power control.
Drive power intent (UPF/CPF) authoring and sign-off, coordinating with physical design team on power-domain floorplan, always-on routing, and isolation verification.
Own the embedded management processor subsystem: processor integration, on-chip SRAM and ROM sizing, boot sequence, fuse and OTP interface, and the firmware execution environment.
Define the management register map: the address space through which firmware configures operating modes, reads telemetry, controls power states, and manages DFT operations.
Specify thermal monitoring integration: on-die temperature sensor placement, readout path to the management processor, and thermal throttling hooks.
What We’re Looking For
12+ years of digital IC design, with at least 5 years owning chip infrastructure — clocking, power management, reset or DFT — at block-lead or subsystem-owner level.
Familiarity with embedded microcontroller integration: memory maps, boot ROM, interrupt controllers, and firmware bring-up at the hardware level.
Experience with reset-domain architecture and reset synchronizer design in multi-power-domain chips.
Strong SystemVerilog skills for infrastructure RTL: clock-gating cells, power FSMs, scan-enable muxing, and BIST controllers.
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
Good to Have
Background integrating a RISC-V or ARM Cortex-M class processor as a management/configuration engine in a non-CPU chiplet.
Exposure to hardware security: secure boot, anti-tamper fuse programming, or related infrastructure.
