How much do rtl design jobs pay per year?

As of May 29, 2026, the average yearly pay for rtl design in the United States is $139,368.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $136,000.00 and $136,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is an RTL Design job?

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.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Rtl Design position, and why are they important?

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 a typical day look like for an RTL Design engineer and how do they interact with other teams?

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.

Job description

We're hiring experienced RTL Design Engineers from junior to senior levels to play a key role in designing and implementing the components that will bring our next-generation AI processors to life.
 
About Us:
Mythic is building the future of AI computing with breakthrough analog technology that delivers 100 the performance of traditional digital systems at the same power and cost. This unlocks bigger, more capable models and faster, more responsive applications - whether in edge devices like drones, robotics, and sensors, or in cloud and data center environments. Our technology powers everything from large language models and CNNs to advanced signal processing, and is engineered to operate from -40 C to +125 C, making it ideal for industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defense.
 
We've raised over $100M from world-class investors including Softbank, Threshold Ventures, Lux Capital, and DCVC, and secured multi-million-dollar customer contracts across multiple markets.
 
The salary range for this position is $120,000-$225,000+ annually. Actual compensation depends on experience, skills, qualifications, and location.
 
RTL Design at Mythic:
At Mythic, our RTL design team is at the heart of transforming our custom dataflow architecture into working silicon. RTL engineers take ownership of microarchitecture and RTL implementation, designing high-performance, low-power logic that enables our breakthrough AI hardware. The team works closely with architecture, custom analog IP, compiler, verification, emulation, and post-silicon teams to ensure every component integrates seamlessly into the full system. Because modern AI workloads push the limits of performance, memory, and efficiency, our RTL engineers apply creativity and rigor to deliver designs that meet aggressive PPA (performance, power, area) goals while ensuring correctness. We welcome engineers at all levels who are excited to tackle challenging design problems and play a key role in building the next generation of AI compute hardware.
Responsibilities
  • Design and implement RTL for Mythic's next-generation AI processor.
  • Develop and optimize high-performance, low-power components including datapaths, controllers, memory subsystems, and interconnects.
  • Collaborate with architects and verification engineers to define microarchitecture and ensure functional correctness.
  • Drive timing closure by working with synthesis and physical design teams.
  • Participate in design reviews and contribute to improving RTL coding practices and methodologies.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
  • 3+ years of industry experience in RTL design, microarchitecture, and architecture development.
  • Solid understanding of computer architecture fundamentals (pipelines, caches, coherence, memory hierarchies).
  • Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog and industry-standard RTL coding guidelines.
  • Familiarity with timing constraints, physical design considerations, and EDA flows.
  • Hands-on experience with simulation, synthesis, linting, and static timing analysis tools.
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills with ability to work in cross-functional teams.
At Mythic, we foster a collaborative and respectful environment where people can do their best work. We hire smart, capable individuals, provide the tools and support they need, and trust them to deliver. Our team brings a wide range of experiences and perspectives, which we see as a strength in solving hard problems together. We value professionalism, creativity, and integrity, and strive to make Mythic a place where every employee feels they belong and can contribute meaningfully.
