Your Team, Your Impact

As a Principal Digital IC Design Engineer within Custom Silicon Engineering (CCS), you will be part of a high-performance RTL team responsible for architecting and implementing advanced SoC designs. CCS serves as the core execution engine for customer-driven silicon programs, delivering RTL, DV, and integration across compute, connectivity, and memory subsystems.
You’ll collaborate with internal architecture, DV, and physical design teams, as well as external IP vendors and customer engineering teams. Your work will directly influence tapeout schedules, silicon bring-up, and product qualification.

What You Can Expect

• Lead micro-architecture and RTL development for compute and connectivity subsystems, including memory controllers, PCIe/CXL interfaces, and D2D links.
• Drive HW/SW co-design and integration across multi-die SoC platforms.
• Collaborate with architects and DV engineers to ensure functional correctness, timing closure, and power optimization.
• Own RTL delivery milestones from ASR through PRQ, including support for emulation, silicon bring-up, and validation.
• Interface with external IP vendors and internal CAD teams to ensure IP integration and tool flow compatibility.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 10–15 years of experience, or
• Master’s/PhD with 5–10 years of experience in digital IC design.
• Deep understanding of SoC architecture, processor subsystems, memory controllers, and high-speed interfaces.
• Expertise in Verilog/VHDL, RTL linting (Spyglass), CDC analysis, and synthesis readiness.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl) for design automation.
• Proven success in delivering production-quality RTL under aggressive schedules.
• Experience with CXL, PCIe, DDR, and D2D protocols is highly desirable.
