RTL Design Engineer

We are sourcing senior digital chip design and verification engineers to support an AI evaluation program focused on frontier silicon / chip-design workflows. We are targeting the next couple of months and will prioritize truly strong contributors who can commit meaningful time.

3-10 years of experience in digital RTL design

• Strong proficiency in Verilog / SystemVerilog

• Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals: FSMs, datapaths, pipelines, FIFOs, arbiters, clock/reset domains, bus protocols

• Experience with ASIC design flows: lint, synthesis, timing analysis, CDC, DFT-aware design

• Familiarity with common EDA tools for simulation, waveform debug, lint, CDC, synthesis, timing analysis

• Familiarity with leveraging LLM-based tools to accelerate chip design, RTL development, debug, documentation, or verification workflows

• Ability to write clear design documentation and communicate technical tradeoffs

• Experience debugging RTL issues using simulation logs and waveform viewers

• Strong collaboration skills across architecture, verification, and implementation teams

Preferred

• AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB)

• Background in one or more of: CPU, GPU / ML accelerator, networking, memory subsystem, PCIe / high-speed IO, SoC interconnect, low-power design

• Exposure to formal verification or SV/UVM-based design verification

Track 2: Design Verification Engineer

Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM

• Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals: FSMs, datapaths, pipelines, FIFOs, arbiters, clock/reset domains, bus protocols

• Experience developing reusable verification components and testbench infrastructure

• Constrained-random verification, functional coverage, assertions (SVA), coverage closure

• Familiarity with EDA tools for simulation, waveform debug, coverage analysis, formal verification, regression management

• Familiarity with LLM-based tools to accelerate verification, debug, test generation, documentation, or coverage analysis

• Ability to write clear verification plans, debug reports, and technical documentation

Preferred

• AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB)

• Background in one or more of: CPU, GPU / ML accelerator, networking, memory subsystem, PCIe / high-speed IO, SoC interconnect, low-power verification

• Reusable verification IP, scoreboards, reference models, coverage-driven regression flows

Logistics

• Location: Remote, USA and Canada only

• Commitment: Full-time preferred; high availability required (40 hours)

Duration: Target engagement of 3+ months, starting week of 04/23
