What are the key skills and qualifications needed for RTL design?

To thrive as an RTL Design engineer, you need a solid background in digital logic design, computer architecture, and proficiency in hardware description languages such as Verilog or VHDL, typically supported by a degree in electrical or computer engineering. Familiarity with EDA tools like Synopsys, Cadence, or Mentor Graphics, and experience with FPGA/ASIC flows, are highly valuable, as are relevant industry certifications. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication foster successful collaboration with verification and physical design teams. These skills are crucial for delivering robust, efficient hardware solutions in complex chip development projects.

What does an RTL design engineer do?

A typical day for an RTL Design engineer involves writing and optimizing RTL code, running simulations, debugging designs, and reviewing results from verification teams. Collaboration is key, as you will frequently interact with verification engineers, physical design teams, and architects to ensure the design meets both functional and performance requirements. You may also participate in design reviews, resolve issues found during testing, and work with project managers to meet deadlines. This cross-functional teamwork creates a dynamic environment where communication and problem-solving skills are highly valued, helping ensure the successful delivery of silicon products.

What is an RTL design?

An RTL (Register Transfer Level) Design job involves designing and implementing digital circuits using hardware description languages (HDLs) like Verilog or VHDL. RTL engineers translate high-level specifications into synthesizable logic, ensuring functionality, power efficiency, and performance. They collaborate with verification engineers to test and debug designs before fabrication. This role is crucial in developing ASICs, FPGAs, and other digital hardware components.

Job description

RTL Design Engineer


Building AI chips that are hard-coded for individual model architectures.


RTL Design Engineer

As an RTL Engineer, you will be critical in ensuring that our AI chips operate correctly and efficiently. You will develop and implement design verification strategies for both our existing and upcoming ASIC designs.


In this role, you will work closely with state-of-the-art architectures for machine learning. You do not need to have experience working with these yet, but you will be willing and able to learn quickly. You will work in a fast-paced environment with a high degree of autonomy, and be responsible for a key part of the team's success.


Representative projects:

  • Implement a block to efficiently compute floating point math operators
  • Provide feedback to the uArch team to make sure blocks meet timing and area constraints


You may be a good fit if you:

  • At least 5 years of work experience in RTL development.
  • Experience with high-speed digital logic.
  • Proficiency in standard RTL design and synthesis tools
  • Familiarity with verification work and writing test benches
  • Are able to learn quickly about transformers and other aspects of modern artificial intelligence
  • Willing to start quickly


Strong candidates may also have experience with:

  • Experience with PCIe, Ethernet, or HBM technologies
  • Familiarity with transformer models and machine learning.
  • Familiarity with numerical representations and functions
  • ​Ability to program with Python or another scripting language
