IC/RTL Design Engineer

Uncover

  • IC/RTL Design EngineerLumilens • San Jose, CA • • 2h agoSave this role or tell us whether you want more jobs like it.**IC/RTL Design Engineer/ Front-End Engineer****About the role.** You design and implement the digital front-end RTL at the heart of the chip — including the high-speed datapath that moves data between UCIe and the optical front end. Guided by the interface specs and coding standards, you take blocks from micro-architecture through clean, timing-aware RTL and block-level verification. It's a hands-on role with room to grow your scope as the team and the chip mature.**What you'll do*** **Develop block-level micro-architecture** for your assigned blocks, and contribute to interface and register definitions.* **Design and implement front-end RTL blocks in SystemVerilog** — datapath elements, the UCIe streaming/RDI adapter, elastic FIFOs, and supporting logic.* **Integrate IP** and support parameterization for configurability.* **Write clean, lint-clean, CDC/RDC-clean RTL** that follows the coding and quality standards.* **Write block-level testbenches, sanity checks, and assertions (SVA)** for your own blocks before handoff to DV.* **Power- and timing-aware design** — managing block activity, clock-gating, pipelining, and retiming; partner with the backend team on physical closure for your blocks.* **Bring-up and debug** across simulation and emulation / FPGA prototyping; support DV and silicon bring-up, including DFT/debug hooks in your blocks.* **Collaborate** with the architecture, modelling, DV, DFT, and backend teams as your blocks move through the flow.**Required*** **BS or MS in Electrical/Computer Engineering** (or equivalent experience).* **3+ years of digital RTL design in SystemVerilog**, with blocks taken from micro-architecture through to verification handoff.* **Solid digital design fundamentals**: pipelining, FSMs, FIFOs, clock-domain crossing, and streaming/bus interfaces (e.g., AXI).* **Lint and CDC/RDC discipline** and clean-RTL practices.* **Power- and timing-aware design practices;** comfort with synthesis and timing closure, working with the backend team.* **Strong debug skills in simulation**; scripting in Python, Perl, or TCL.**Preferred*** **High-speed datapath, SerDes-adjacent, or interface design exposure** (UCIe, PCIe/CXL, or similar).* **FEC/coding datapath familiarity** (e.g., Reed-Solomon) and gray-code mapping.* **Assertion-based verification (SVA)** and familiarity with UVM block-level testbenches; emulation / FPGA prototyping experience.* **Exposure to scale-up / scale-out interconnects** or network switch / NIC / memory-controller datapaths.* **Low-power / UPF and DFT (scan)** concepts**.*** **Optical transceiver, CPO, or linear-drive optics background**; advanced-node (N5/N3/N2) design experience.
