Principal Engineer, RTL Design
Location:- Noida
Experience:- 10+Years
Job Description
SoC Architecture & Integration
Lead integration of complex multi-billion transistor SoCs comprising CPUs,
GPUs, NPUs, AI accelerators, memory subsystems, and high-speed
peripherals.
Define and implement scalable SoC architectures, subsystem partitioning,
and integration strategies.
Drive top-level RTL integration, IP assembly, and system-level design
closure.
Collaborate with architecture, verification, physical design, DFT,
firmware, and
software teams throughout the development lifecycle.
NoC & Interconnect Architecture
Architect and integrate advanced Network-on-Chip (NoC) solutions for high-
bandwidth and low-latency data movement.
Optimize traffic flows, QoS, coherency, memory access, and interconnect
performance.
Define clocking, reset, and power strategies across complex interconnect
fabrics.
High-Speed Interfaces & Protocols
Lead integration and implementation of industry-standard interfaces
including:
o UCIe
o PCIe
o DDR/LPDDR
o CXL
o Ethernet
o High-speed SerDes
Drive protocol compliance, performance optimization, and subsystem-level
integration.
Compute & AI Subsystems
Integrate and optimize heterogeneous compute architectures involving:
o Multi-core CPUs
o NPUs
o GPUs
o AI/ML Accelerators
Drive system-level performance, coherency, memory hierarchy, and
scalability
considerations.
Functional Safety & Security
Define and implement hardware architectures supporting Functional Safety
requirements (ISO 26262 and related standards).
Develop safety mechanisms including redundancy, fault detection, fault
isolation, and diagnostic coverage.
Drive hardware security architecture including secure boot, key
management,
access control, and protection mechanisms.
Low-Power Design & UPF
Lead SoC low-power architecture and implementation.
Define and review UPF-based power intent for complex multi-voltage, multi-
power-domain designs.
Drive power-aware RTL integration and verification.
Implement advanced low-power techniques including:
o Power gating
o Clock gating
o Voltage islands
o Retention strategies
o Dynamic power management
Clock & Reset Architecture
Define and implement complex SoC clocking and reset architectures.
Drive clock-domain crossing (CDC) and reset-domain crossing (RDC)
methodologies.
Collaborate with implementation teams for timing closure and clock
distribution optimization.
Technical Leadership
Provide technical leadership and mentoring to RTL and integration
engineers.
Drive design reviews, architecture reviews, and methodology improvements.
Establish best practices for RTL quality, integration, low-power
implementation, and design signoff.
Influence product roadmap and technology strategy through technical
expertise.
Qualifications
M.Tech/ B.Tech in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science with 12+
years
of RTL design experience.
Proven expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design, integration, and
microarchitecture.
Strong understanding of SoC architecture, AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB),
clock/power domains, and memory subsystems.
Experience with EDA tools for synthesis, lint, CDC, RDC, and timing
analysis.
Familiarity with UPF/low-power design, formal verification techniques, and
static/dynamic checks.
Excellent leadership, communication, and project management skills.
Experience working with global cross-functional teams.
