[11 / 10 / 2025] Lead Design Engineer

Lead Design Engineer

As an RTL Design Lead, you will play a critical role in leading the RTL design and verification process for complex digital designs. You will manage a team of RTL engineers, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and ensure the successful implementation of high-performance, low-power designs. The ideal candidate should have a strong technical background in RTL design, experience in digital design flow, and the ability to lead a team towards the successful execution of complex projects.

Key Responsibilities :

• RTL Architecture and Design : Lead the RTL design of complex digital systems, including microprocessors, ASICs, FPGA designs, and system-on-chip (SoC) components.
• Team Leadership : Manage and mentor a team of RTL design engineers, providing technical guidance, training, and fostering a collaborative team environment.
• Design Specifications : Work closely with system architects and hardware engineers to define design specifications, ensuring the implementation meets performance, area, and power requirements.
• RTL Coding : Write and review high-quality RTL code in Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL, focusing on scalability, reusability, and modularity.
• Design Validation : Lead the development of testbenches and collaborate with verification teams to ensure the design is thoroughly verified using simulation, formal verification, and coverage analysis.
• Timing and Performance Optimization : Drive performance and timing closure by working with design and implementation teams to address critical paths and optimize the design for low power, high speed, and minimal area.
• Integration : Lead the integration of RTL design blocks into larger systems, ensuring smooth handoffs between various teams, including digital, analog, and software teams.
• Mentorship and Collaboration : Provide mentorship to junior engineers and collaborate with cross-functional teams, including verification, software, and physical design teams to ensure the design meets all system requirements.
• Documentation and Reporting : Ensure the proper documentation of design flows, methodology, and processes, including regular design reviews and progress reports to management.
• Continuous Improvement : Drive continuous improvement in RTL design methodologies, best practices, and tools. Stay up to date with the latest trends and technologies in RTL design and digital systems.
