About the Role

n

We are looking for SoC design engineers to own RTL integration and front-end signoff for complex SoCs. You will integrate IPs at subsystem and top level, and drive Lint, CDC, RDC, low-power (VCLP) and synthesis checks to closure for tapeout.

n

Key Responsibilities

n

n
- SoC integration: Integrate IPs at subsystem and top level, including clock, reset, memory, pad/IO and interconnect. Build and maintain top-level RTL and connectivity.
n
- Lint: Run Lint checks, analyze violations, drive fixes with IP owners, and manage waivers to signoff.
n
- CDC/RDC: Set up constraints, and analyze synchronizers, reconvergence, glitches and reset domain crossings. Deliver clean signoff reports.
n
- Low power (VCLP): Write and review UPF. Verify isolation, level shifters, retention and power switches using static low-power checks.
n
- Synthesis: Write SDC constraints, run synthesis, and improve timing, area and power QoR. Run logic equivalence checks (RTL vs netlist).
n
- Collaboration:



Work with verification, DFT, STA and physical design teams through tapeout.

Must-Have Skills

n

n
- Robust Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design and debug.
n
- Hands-on experience with at least three of: Lint, CDC, RDC, VCLP/UPF, synthesis, SoC integration.
n
- Good understanding of clocking, reset architecture and low-power design concepts.
n
- SDC constraints and UPF knowledge.
n
- Scripting in Tcl, Python or Perl, plus Makefile-based flows.
n

n

Good to Have

n

n
- Full-cycle tapeout experience.
n
- ARM-based SoC and AMBA protocols (AXI/AHB/APB).
n
- Exposure to DFT, STA (PrimeTime) or LEC flows.
n
- Education: BE/BTech/ME/MTech in ECE, EEE, VLSI or a related field.
n
- Screening keywords for TA: VC SpyGlass, SpyGlass Lint/CDC/RDC, Questa CDC, Meridian CDC/RDC, VC LP, VCLP, Conformal LP, UPF, CPF, Design Compiler, Fusion Compiler, Genus, Formality, Conformal LEC, SDC, SoC integration
