Responsibilities
Architect, design, and implement RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog) for high-performance interconnect and memory subsystems, including NoC topologies, DMA controllers, and AXI-based data paths optimized for AI workloads
Develop and document microarchitecture specifications for memory controllers, MMUs, and arbiters to ensure low-latency, high-bandwidth data movement across SoC components
Define system-level functional requirements for SoC data paths, focusing on throughput, scalability, and integration with compute accelerators
Perform design analysis, including timing closure, power optimization, and area efficiency, for high-performance memory and interconnect blocks
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate interconnect IP into full-chip designs, debug issues, and support silicon bring-up and validation
Contribute to performance modeling and simulation of data path elements to meet aggressive AI hardware metrics
Stay abreast of industry trends in high-performance ASIC design and propose innovations for interconnect and memory efficiency
Qualification
Required
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience
3+ years of hands-on RTL design experience in SoC interconnect, memory systems, or data path components for custom ASICs
Strong proficiency in Verilog or SystemVerilog for complex digital design
Solid understanding of AXI protocol and high-performance design techniques (e.g., pipelining, clock domain crossing)
Experience with synthesis, timing analysis, and linting tools (e.g., Synopsys Design Compiler, SpyGlass)
Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with strong problem-solving skills
