What is an RTL design engineer?

An RTL (Register Transfer Level) Design Engineer is responsible for designing and implementing digital circuits using hardware description languages like VHDL or Verilog. They develop and optimize high-performance, power-efficient designs for ASICs or FPGAs based on system requirements. Their role includes writing RTL code, performing simulations, debugging issues, and collaborating with verification, physical design, and architecture teams. RTL engineers ensure the design meets functional, timing, and power constraints before handing it off for further implementation.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an RTL design engineer?

To thrive as an RTL Design Engineer, you need a strong background in digital logic design, proficiency in hardware description languages like Verilog or VHDL, and a bachelor's or master’s degree in electrical or computer engineering. Experience with industry-standard EDA tools such as Synopsys or Cadence, and knowledge of FPGA or ASIC design flow, are typically required. Strong problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills are essential for effective collaboration with verification teams and other engineering groups. These competencies are critical to accurately translate system requirements into robust, manufacturable hardware designs within fast-paced project timelines.

What are the typical career growth opportunities for an RTL design engineer?

As an RTL Design Engineer, you can advance into roles such as Senior Design Engineer, Technical Lead, or even Design Manager as you gain experience and demonstrate strong technical expertise. Many professionals also transition into related areas such as verification engineering, system architecture, or product management. The role offers continuous learning opportunities and exposure to cutting-edge semiconductor technology, making it ideal for those interested in expanding their skillset. Career progression is often supported by successful project delivery, ongoing education, and active collaboration within multidisciplinary teams.

Job description

IC Enable is seeking an experienced RTL Design Engineer to support digital IC development from architecture through implementation. This role is ideal for an engineer with strong Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design experience, a solid understanding of ASIC/SoC development flows, and the ability to collaborate across design, verification, analog/mixed-signal, physical design, and product engineering teams.
The RTL Design Engineer will contribute to advanced semiconductor programs across application areas such as neurostimulation, ultrasound, read-out integrated circuits (ROICs), wireless transceivers, energy harvesting, sensor interfaces, defense electronics, and other high-reliability digital and mixed-signal systems.
Location: Richardson, TX (Hybrid, Remote considered based on experience and qualifications)
What You’ll Do:
  • Develop, integrate, and debug Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL for digital blocks, processing logic, control logic, interfaces, and mixed-signal IC subsystems
  • Translate architecture, system, and product requirements into efficient, maintainable RTL implementations
  • Support block-level and subsystem-level integration, including IP integration, interface definition, and design documentation
  • Develop and maintain design constraints; support logic synthesis, timing review, implementation handoff, and APR closure activities
  • Collaborate with verification engineers by supporting RTL debug, resolving design issues, and providing design intent needed for functional verification
  • Participate in design reviews, technical documentation, implementation planning, and silicon bring-up or characterization support as needed
  • Work closely with analog/mixed-signal, physical design, firmware, product, and customer-facing teams to support successful silicon development and delivery
  • Apply industry best practices throughout the IC development lifecycle, including design quality, reuse, maintainability, and traceability
What We’re Looking For:
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • Working knowledge of the RTL design cycle, including specification review, RTL implementation, synthesis support, verification debug, documentation, and product support
  • Experience with System Verilog RTL design, coupled with design synthesis
  • Familiarity with simulation, debug, lint, CDC, reset-domain crossing, and other design quality checks
  • Experience collaborating with verification, analog/mixed-signal, physical design, and product engineering teams
  • Proven track record developing successful integrated circuit designs
  • Strong understanding of silicon development methodologies, EDA tools, and semiconductor design best practices
  • Excellent debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate complex technical information clearly
  • Must be eligible to work on ITAR-controlled projects, which may require U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent resident status
** Please note, we are not able to support visa sponsorship for this role.
Why IC Enable?
For more than 20 years, IC Enable has delivered world-class design IP, semiconductor products, engineering services, and platform solutions to customers ranging from innovative startups to Fortune 50 companies.
