Your Role and Responsibilities:
Ideal candidates will have expertise in several of the following areas:
- RTL Design and module-level verification of modules for Edgecortix inference accelerator IP.
- Participate in synthesis, STA, and power estimation activities.
- Propose and implement low-level micro-architectural optimizations for better area, power, and placeability/routability of design targeting specific tech processes, power, and area budgets.
- Work closely with our architects to support architectural-level decisions providing expert feedback to ensure high design scalability.
- Collaborate with our architects and compiler engineers to determine the best way of implementing new functionality and defining architectural specs.
- Engage in system integration activities for SoC design using third-party IPs and integration tools.
- Engage in IP-level and system-level verification and debugging activities using SystemVerilog and UVM.
- Embrace high standards of engineering practices such as code reviews, technical documentation, propper testing process, continuous integration, and release engineering.
Desired Qualifications (ASIC)
- Ability to write clean, readable, synthesizable RTL.
- Familiarity with AXI, Avalon or similar protocol.
- Experience in low power RTL design.
- Experience in performing logic synthesis using Cadence or Synopsys tools.
- Experience in writing timing constraints and power intent definitions.
- Experience in optimizing design for timing.
- Experience in using power analysis tools such as Joules or PowerPro.
- Understanding of Physical Design issues.
- Understanding of using fixed-point arithmetic for approximating floating-point computations.
- Experience with verification using SystemVerilog and UVM.
- Experience with DDR, PCI-E, MIPI CSI or other high speed protocols is a plus.
- Decent scripting and automation skills using TCL, Python, and Make.
- Basic programming skills in statically typed languages such as C++ or Java.
