KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:  

• Drive RTL and firmware design and synthesis for selected system IP components
• Deliver high-performance, low-power design implementations
• Execute front-end integration flows (synthesis, LINT, DFT, etc.) and generate high-quality netlists
• Collaborate with RTL owners and physical design teams to achieve timing closure and validate reports
• Contribute to RTL development of system IP blocks: study specifications, implement functionality, and work closely with verification engineers on debug and issue resolution

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:  

• Hands-on experience with synthesis, timing analysis, and formal verification
• Strong background in ASIC or FPGA projects
• Proficiency in Verilog design
• Familiarity with front-end EDA tools and flows
• Advanced scripting/programming skills in Ruby, Perl, Python and Makefile
