Lead Design Engineer
Core
Lead the end-to-end RTL design, micro-architecture definition, and integration of complex SoC, subsystem, and IP blocks for semiconductor products.
Role type
Senior IC digital design engineer (SoC/Subsystem/IP)
Builds
Reusable, implementation-ready digital logic blocks and subsystems for SoC chips
Domain
Semiconductor / Digital IC Design
Required skills
RTL design (Verilog/SystemVerilog), Micro-architecture definition, Digital design fundamentals (FSM, pipelines, clock/reset), AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB), Interconnect design, Debugging (simulation/synthesis/integration), Design closure (lint, CDC, DFT, STA), Python/Perl/Tcl scripting
Preferred skills
PCIe/DDR/NoC design, Low-power methodologies (UPF/CPF), Formal verification, Silicon debug, Team leadership
Technologies
