RTL Design Engineer - AI Tools

## About the Role We are sourcing senior digital chip design and verification engineers to support an AI evaluation program focused on frontier silicon / chip-design workflows. We are targeting the next couple of months and will prioritize truly strong contributors who can commit meaningful time. Two parallel profiles — candidates may apply to either track: ## Track 1: RTL Design Engineer ### Qualifications - 3–10 years of experience in digital RTL design - Strong proficiency in Verilog / SystemVerilog - Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals: FSMs, datapaths, pipelines, FIFOs, arbiters, clock/reset domains, bus protocols - Experience with ASIC design flows: lint, synthesis, timing analysis, CDC, DFT-aware design - Familiarity with common EDA tools for simulation, waveform debug, lint, CDC, synthesis, timing analysis - Familiarity with leveraging LLM-based tools to accelerate chip design, RTL development, debug, documentation, or verification workflows - Ability to write clear design documentation and communicate technical tradeoffs - Experience debugging RTL issues using simulation logs and waveform viewers - Strong collaboration skills across architecture, verification, and implementation teams ### Preferred - AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB) - Background in one or more of: CPU, GPU / ML accelerator, networking, memory subsystem, PCIe / high-speed IO, SoC interconnect, low-power design - Exposure to formal verification or SV/UVM-based design verification ## Track 2: Design Verification Engineer ### Qualifications - 3–10 years of experience in design verification - Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM - Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals: FSMs, datapaths, pipelines, FIFOs, arbiters, clock/reset domains, bus protocols - Experience developing reusable verification components and testbench infrastructure - Constrained-random verification, functional coverage, assertions (SVA), coverage closure - Familiarity with EDA tools for simulation, waveform debug, coverage analysis, formal verification, regression management - Familiarity with LLM-based tools to accelerate verification, debug, test generation, documentation, or coverage analysis - Ability to write clear verification plans, debug reports, and technical documentation ### Preferred - AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB) - Background in one or more of: CPU, GPU / ML accelerator, networking, memory subsystem, PCIe / high-speed IO, SoC interconnect, low-power verification - Reusable verification IP, scoreboards, reference models, coverage-driven regression flows ## Logistics - **Location:** Remote, USA and Canada only - **Commitment:** Full-time preferred; high availability required (40 hours) - **Duration:** Target engagement of ~3+ months, starting week of 04/23
