Principal ASIC Design Engineer – Digital Design Primary Location: Hyderabad Role Summary: Role: We are seeking an experienced RTL Designer with strong expertise in micro-architecture development, RTL design, integration, and implementation of complex digital blocks/subsystems. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of translating architectural specifications into high-quality RTL, driving designs from concept through synthesis and silicon bring-up, and collaborating closely with architecture, verification, DFT, physical design, firmware, and system teams. The role requires deep knowledge of System Verilog/Verilog RTL design, digital design fundamentals, clock/reset architectures, low-power design techniques, and performance-driven implementation. The candidate should be capable of owning IP/block-level development, resolving functional and timing issues, supporting verification and implementation activities, and ensuring delivery of robust, power-efficient, and high-performance designs for next-generation AI inference accelerators. Job Responsibility: Add a maximum of 10 bullets of key tasks in this role Key Responsibilities Define and implement hardware architectures optimized for AI inference SoCs . Contribute to microarchitecture definition and evaluate design trade-offs for complex SoCs, including custom ISA-based processors, high-speed interconnects, and high-bandwidth I/O. Own features end to end, from specification and RTL through integration, synthesis, and debug.
