General Summary:
Job Description: Security RTL Design Engineer
Location: Bangalore
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Security RTL Design Engineer to join the Hardware Security team and own RTL design for secure hardware IPs and subsystems used in next-generation SoCs. The role focuses on cryptographic accelerators, Root of Trust, secure enclaves, key management, secure boot, access control, and other security-critical design blocks.
The engineer will drive the complete front-end RTL development cycle, from micro-architecture definition and SystemVerilog implementation through quality checks, synthesis readiness, full-chip integration support, and tape-out closure. The role requires robust ASIC design fundamentals and practical understanding of security threats such as side-channel leakage, fault injection, unauthorized debug access, and key exposure.
Job Responsibilities




Lead micro-architecture definition and RTL design ownership for hardware security modules, cryptographic engines, and security subsystems.
Translate architecture requirements, software use cases, threat-model inputs, and interface specifications into clean, implementation-ready micro-architecture specifications.
Implement high-quality SystemVerilog RTL for blocks such as AES, SHA, ECC/RSA accelerators, TRNG, key management, secure boot logic, access-control logic, and anti-tamper features.
Incorporate secure design techniques, including side-channel mitigation, fault-injection resistance, secure state-machine design, zeroization, privilege checks, and debug lockdown mechanisms.
Collaborate with architecture, verification, physical design, DFT, firmware, software, and SoC integration teams to meet security, performance, area, power, and schedule goals.
Qualify RTL through front-end design checks such as lint, clock-domain crossing, reset-domain crossing, synthesis, DFT, low-pow
