Hardware Design Engineer

Join our dynamic team as a Hardware Design Engineer, where you will play a crucial role in the design and development of cutting-edge silicon chip technology for the latest cloud and AI products. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on high-impact projects in a collaborative environment.

Responsibilities

• Create design specifications and test plans in collaboration with other teams.
• Implement and verify RTL (Register Transfer Level) designs for image and video processing blocks.
• Support verification engineers to ensure bug-free silicon.
• Perform front-end synthesis and analyze timing results.
• Run CDC (Clock Domain Crossing) checks for design blocks.
• Analyze and provide direction on performance gate count and power for various digital designs.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate IPs.

• Expertise in System Verilog and RTL design.
• Experience in subsystem design and familiarity with AXI and APB protocols.
• Experience in designing IPs and/or SoC integration.
• Strong understanding of floating-point arithmetic implementation in RTL.
• Substantial background in debugging designs as well as simulation environments.
• Familiarity with design for test (DFT) and scan concepts.
• Experience in scripting languages such as Python or Perl.
• Proficiency in simulation, CDC, and lint checking tools.
• Bachelor's degree in a related technical field required; a Master's degree is preferred.
• 10 years of relevant experience in digital design and successful tapeouts.

• Minimum 5 years of experience with AXI protocol integration.
• Minimum 7 years of experience contributing CDC and RDC work to successful SoC tapeouts.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in developing small IPs.
• Familiarity with verification test benches, ARM core side protocol, and significant experience with debugging.
• Experience with tapeouts at large enterprise companies.

The team is dedicated to working on silicon chip design for the latest cloud and AI products. As part of this role, you will contribute to supporting the design team with design and flow work, write scripts, and check the quality of CDC, RDC, and SoC integration work. Design work will include coding in SystemVerilog and developing smaller IPs. The typical day involves SOC integration, which comprises about 50% of your time, while the remainder is spent on additional projects such as smaller IP development, flow setup, and debugging tasks. This role provides a stimulating and collaborative work environment where innovation is encouraged.
