About the Role
SmartSoC Solutions is looking for an experienced and technically strong RTL Design Lead with 10+ years of experience in RTL design, microarchitecture, and SoC development. The ideal candidate should have solid expertise in CDC Flow, SerDes, PCIe, AXI protocols, and Firmware integration, along with proven experience leading RTL design activities from specification to silicon-ready implementation.

Key Responsibilities:
• Lead RTL design and development for complex IPs and SoC subsystems using Verilog/System Verilog.
• Define and review microarchitecture, RTL specifications, design plans, and implementation strategies.
• Drive Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) flow, including CDC analysis, synchronization techniques, and resolution of clock-domain-related issues.
• Work on high-speed interface designs involving SerDes and PCIe, including protocol-level understanding and interface integration.
• Collaborate with firmware and embedded software teams to support hardware-firmware integration, register mapping, initialization sequences, and system bring-up.




• Ensure RTL quality through lint analysis, CDC checks, synthesis readiness, timing considerations, and design reviews.
• Debug complex RTL and integration issues and drive root-cause analysis across IP and SoC levels.
• Work closely with Design Verification teams to define verification strategies, resolve functional issues, and achieve design closure.
• Coordinate with Physical Design teams to address timing, power, area, and RTL implementation challenges.
• Mentor RTL engineers, review design deliverables, and establish coding standards and best practices.
• Own design milestones, technical deliverables, and cross-functional issue resolution.

Required Technical Skills:

• Experience: 10+ years in RTL design and SoC development, with demonstrated technical leadership experience.
• RTL Design: Strong proficiency in Verilog/System Verilog, synthesizable RTL coding, and microarchitecture development.
• CDC Flow
