About the role

Develop block-level micro-architecture for your assigned blocks, and contribute to interface and register definitions. Design and implement front-end RTL blocks in SystemVerilog — datapath elements, the UCIe streaming/RDI adapter, elastic FIFOs, and supporting logic.

What they're looking for

  • BS or MS in Electrical/Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience)
  • 3+ years of digital RTL design in SystemVerilog , with blocks taken from micro-architecture through to verification handoff
  • Solid digital design fundamentals : pipelining, FSMs, FIFOs, clock-domain crossing, and streaming/bus interfaces (e.g., AXI)
  • Lint and CDC/RDC discipline and clean-RTL practices
  • Power- and timing-aware design practices, comfort with synthesis and timing closure, working with the backend team
  • Strong debug skills in simulation , scripting in Python, Perl, or TCL
More about this role

About the role. You design and implement the digital front-end RTL at the heart of the chip — including the high-speed datapath that moves data between UCIe and the optical front end. Guided by the interface specs and coding standards, you take blocks from micro-architecture through clean, timing-aware RTL and block-level verification. It's a hands-on role with room to grow your scope as the team and the chip mature.

Develop block-level micro-architecture for your assigned blocks, and contribute to interface and register definitions.

Design and implement front-end RTL blocks in SystemVerilog — datapath elements, the UCIe streaming/RDI adapter, elastic FIFOs, and supporting logic.

Integrate IP and support parameterization for configurability.

Write clean, lint-clean, CDC/RDC-clean RTL that follows the coding and quality standards.

Write block-level testbenches, sanity checks, and assertions (SVA) for your own blocks before handoff to DV.

Power- and timing-aware design — managing block activity, clock-gating, pipelining, and retiming; partner with the backend team on physical closure for your blocks.

Bring-up and debug across simulation and emulation / FPGA prototyping; support DV...
