Drive design reviews, coding standards, and best practices
Collaborate closely with:




Design Verification (DV)
Physical Design (PD)
STA / Timing / DFT teams
Ensure high RTL quality via:
Lint, CDC, RDC checks
Low-power (UPF) compliance
Debug complex issues across:
RTL simulation
Gate-Level Simulation (GLS)
Silicon bring-up
Work with foundry and backend constraints (timing, congestion, IR, etc.)
Drive schedule, risk mitigation, and execution toward tapeout
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical / Computer Engineering
10+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC RTL design
