Job Description :
We are looking for a highly skilled RTL Design Engineer with strong expertise in RTL coding, micro-architecture design, CDC, and lint checks, and hands-on experience in PCIe Gen4 / Gen5 (Root Complex / PCIe Controller) development. The candidate will be responsible for end-to-end design implementation, ensuring high-quality, synthesizable RTL, and collaborating closely with verification and architecture teams.
Key Responsibilities :
- Design and develop RTL modules for PCIe Gen4 / Gen5 Root Complex and Controller.
- Translate architecture specifications into micro-architecture and implement high-quality RTL.
- Perform Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) analysis and resolve issues.
- Conduct lint, synthesis checks, and timing closure support to ensure design robustness.
- Collaborate with verification teams to define verification strategies and resolve design bugs.
- Work on design integration at IP / Sub-system / SoC level.
- Support DFT / STA / physical design teams for successful chip implementation.
- Ensure compliance with PCIe protocol specifications and performance requirements.
- Document design, micro-architecture, and review specifications.
Required Skills & Experience :
Strong expertise in RTL Design (SystemVerilog / Verilog).Hands-on experience in micro-architecture design and documentation.Deep understanding of Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) methodologies and tools.Experience with linting tools (Spyglass, Ascent Lint, etc.).Solid exposure to PCIe Gen4 / Gen5 protocols - must have worked on Root Complex and / or Controller.Experience in synthesis, timing closure, and debug.Strong problem-solving, debug, and analytical skills.Good communication and ability to work with global teams.Nice to Have :
Exposure to other high-speed interfaces (CXL, Ethernet, DDR, USB).Familiarity with low-power design, power intent (UPF / CPF).Knowledge of Emulation / FPGA prototyping.Scripting knowledge (Python / Perl / Tcl) for automation.SoC-level integration and design experience.Education : Bachelor's / Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical, or Computer Engineering or equivalent.
