Job Title: RTL Design Engineer – Wireless SoC
Location: Remote
Job Type: Contract
Job Description
We are seeking an experienced RTL Design Engineer to work on next-generation wireless SoC development. The ideal candidate will design and implement high-performance digital blocks and work closely with architecture, analog/mixed-signal, and verification teams to deliver production-quality silicon.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and verify digital blocks for wireless SoCs using SystemVerilog/Verilog
- Translate architectural and algorithmic specifications into synthesizable RTL
- Implement DSP blocks such as filtering, FFT/IFFT, beamforming, etc.
- Develop RTL for SoC components including interfaces, clock/reset, power management, and debug logic
- Work with internal and external IP integration into chip-level designs
- Collaborate with AMS teams on digital-analog interfaces, calibration logic, and control systems
- Drive PPA (power, performance, area) optimization and support timing closure with backend teams
- Participate in design reviews, integration, synthesis, and timing closure activities
- Support silicon bring-up and lab validation of digital subsystems
Required Skills
- 5+ years of hands-on RTL design experience (SystemVerilog / Verilog)
- Strong understanding of micro-architecture and RTL implementation from specs
- Experience in DSP hardware implementation (filtering, FFT, etc.)
- Knowledge of SoC design flows: CDC, power domains, timing constraints, formal verification
- Experience with synthesis, linting, simulation, and STA tools
- Understanding of DFT concepts (scan, BIST)
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
- Good communication and ability to work in cross-functional teams
Preferred Skills
- Experience in wireless SoC domains (Wi-Fi, cellular, mmWave, satellite, etc.)
- RTL design of datapath, FIFO, DMA, arbitration, and SoC bus (AXI/AHB)
- DSP modeling experience (MATLAB / Python / C++) and RTL conversion
- Post-silicon debug and chip bring-up experience
- Exposure to analog-mixed signal interfaces and calibration logic
- Experience in distributed/global team environments
