Position Overview
As a Senior or Staff Logical Design Engineer, you will join a team responsible for the micro-architecture, implementation and execution of in-house designed AI products. Your role will be critical in achieving the highest level of quality and performance as well as ensuring continued innovation in both design and design flow. This is an opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology and a dedicated team of professionals who share your passion for pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
Key responsibilities:
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to clarify and comprehend intricate design specifications and requirements.
- Architect and implement advanced micro-architectures from high-level specifications for silicon components, adhering to performance, power, and area (PPA) metrics.
- Employ industry-standard design tools and methodologies to fashion and optimize digital logic circuits.
- Conduct block and system-level RTL coding, ensuring optimal performance, power, and area (PPA) metrics.
- Integrate various IPs/Sub IPs into the top-level SoC.
- Perform static checks (lint, cdc, equivalence checks) to enhance the quality of the RTL.
- Automate tasks using scripting for efficiency gains.
- Undertake comprehensive functional verification and collaborate closely with verification engineers to ensure the correctness of the design.
- Actively engage in design reviews, contributing technical expertise to enhance overall design quality.
