About this role

Job Details:

Job Description:

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated RTL Design Engineer to drive the architecture, development, and implementation of our Soft IP solutions. In this role, you will own the end-to-end FPGA Soft IP development lifecycle—from micro-architecture definition and RTL coding to timing closure, simulation, and physical hardware validation. You will work closely with embedded software, hardware, and systems engineering teams to deliver robust, high-performance FPGA Soft IP solution solutions.

Key Responsibilities

  • -
  • RTL Architecture & Coding: Define micro-architecture and implement clean, efficient, and reusable RTL code using System Verilog, Verilog, or VHDL.
  • IP Integration & Flow Management: Drive the full FPGA tool flow including synthesis, place-and-route (P&R), constraints creation, and static timing analysis (STA).
  • Timing Closure: Resolve complex multi-clock designs, Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) anomalies, and timing violations to ensure robust operation.
  • Verification & Simulation: Develop testbenches and run block-level behavioral simulations to thoroughly debug and validate logic functionality before target implementation.
  • Hardware Bring-up & Debug: Validate RTL functionality on actual evaluation boards using lab equipment like logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and protocol compliance testers.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Collaborate with software and board-level hardware teams to establish specifications, interface architectures, and system integration paths.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications & Technical Skills

  • Education: Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, VLSI, Embedded Systems, or a closely related technical discipline.
  • Hardware Description: 7+ years of dedicated experience writing production-grade RTL using System Verilog, Verilog, or VHDL.
  • Toolchain Expertise: Hands-on proficiency with major FPGA vendor suites like Altera Quartus Prime, AMD / Xilinx Vivado or Microchip Libero.
  • Analysis & Linting: Strong familiarity with static verification methodologies including Linting, CDC validation, and constraint troubleshooting.
  • Scripting

Skills

  • Ability to automate tool workflows using Tcl, Python, or Shell scripting.

Preferred / Bonus Skills

  • Familiarity with embedded SoC architectures (e.g., ARM Cortex, RISC-V) and hardware-software co-design.
  • Job Type:
  • Regular
  • Shift:
  • Shift 1 (India)
  • Primary Location:
  • Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
