How much do rtl design jobs pay per year?

As of Aug 19, 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?

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 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 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.

Job description

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
