RTL Design Engineer

Experience: 7–20+ Years

Location: Bangalore

Role: Senior / Lead / Principal RTL Design Engineer

Job Overview

We are looking for experienced RTL Design Engineers with a solid background in Microarchitecture and Digital Design to work on complex semiconductor designs. The ideal candidate should have solid hands-on experience taking designs from microarchitecture/specification through RTL implementation, verification, synthesis and sign-off.

Key Responsibilities
Understand and contribute to microarchitecture specifications and design requirements.
Translate microarchitecture into high-quality, synthesizable RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
Design and implement complex IP, subsystem, SoC, CPU/GPU or processor blocks.
Participate in microarchitecture definition, design reviews and RTL architecture discussions.
Develop optimized RTL considering performance, power, area (PPA) and design complexity.
Work closely with Architecture, Verification, Physical Design and STA teams.
Perform RTL simulation, debugging and functional issue resolution.
Support lint, CDC, synthesis, STA and other design-quality checks.
Analyze and resolve timing, area, power and functional issues.
Drive design closure and support integration of RTL blocks into larger SoC designs.




Mentor junior engineers and contribute to RTL coding standards and design methodologies.

Required Skills
7–20+ years of experience in RTL Design / Digital Design.
Strong hands-on experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog.
Robust understanding of Microarchitecture and Digital Logic Design.
Experience in designing complex IP/SoC/subsystem blocks.
Good understanding of ASIC design flow from specification to implementation.
Strong knowledge of RTL coding, synthesis, lint, CDC and STA.
Experience with PPA optimization and timing closure.
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
Experience working with cross-functional teams including DV, Architecture and Physical Design.

Preferred / Good to Have
Experience with CPU, GPU, AI/ML accelerators, interconnects or high-speed interfaces.
Experience in ARM/processor-based SoC designs.
Knowledge of low-power design methodologies.
Experience with formal verification and design-quality checks.
Experience leading RTL design teams or mentoring engineers.

Candidate Profile Candidates should have a strong microarchitecture foundation, excellent RTL coding skills, and experience owning complex blocks from microarchitecture through RTL and design closure.
