  • Apply logic design skills to optimize and meet performance and power goals.
  • Deliver a synthesis/timing clean design while collaborating with the physical design team to ensure a routable and physically implementable solution.
  • Support hardware engineering activities including chip floor plan, power/clock distribution, chip assembly, timing closure, power and noise analysis, and back-end verification.
  • Develop flows and tools as necessary in support of design activities.

What We Need To See

  • A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience and 5 years of industry experience.
  • Solid practical understanding of Verilog and/or SystemVerilog.
  • Relevant project experience in micro-architecture and RTL development of complex designs.
  • Exposure to computer architecture and digital systems designs.
  • Highly proficient in logic development, Verilog and/or SystemVerilog, with an understanding of physical implementation and VLSI.
  • Strength in scripting languages such as Perl or Python.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills.

Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd
