About this role
An experienced Digital Design Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing digital logic circuits and systems for semiconductor, FPGA, or ASIC-based products. The role involves working across the full design cycle—from specification and RTL design to verification, synthesis, and silicon validation. Key Responsibilities
• Design and develop RTL (Register Transfer Level) code using Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL • Architect and implement complex digital blocks and subsystems • Perform functional verification using simulation tools and methodologies (UVM/OVM) • Develop and execute testbenches and validation plans • Perform logic synthesis, timing analysis, and area optimization • Debug and troubleshoot design issues at RTL, gate, and silicon levels • Collaborate with verification, physical design, and firmware teams • Ensure designs meet power, performance, and area (PPA) targets • Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and technical discussions • Work with EDA tools for design implementation and validation • Support post-silicon validation and bring-up activities Required Skills & Expertise Technical Skills
• Strong proficiency in: • Verilog / SystemVerilog / VHDL
• Experience with: • RTL design and simulation tools (ModelSim, VCS, Xcelium) • Synthesis tools (Design Compiler, Genus) • Static Timing Analysis (PrimeTime)
• Understanding of: • Digital logic design concepts • FSMs, pipelining, clock domain crossing (CDC) • Low-power design techniques
• Knowledge of: • FPGA/ASIC design flow • Bus protocols (AXI, AHB, APB)
• Experience in debugging using: • Waveform tools (Verdi, SimVision)
Preferred Skills
• Experience with UVM-based verification methodology • Familiarity with DFT (Design for Testability) concepts • Exposure to scripting languages like Python, Perl, or TCL • Knowledge of hardware-software co-design • Experience in high-speed interfaces or SoC design Experience Requirements
• Typically 10+ years of experience in digital design or ASIC/FPGA development • Proven track record of successful tape-outs or product deliveries Education
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in: • Electronics Engineering • Electrical Engineering • VLSI Design • Computer Engineering
Soft Skills
• Strong problem-solving and debugging abilities • Excellent communication and teamwork skills • Ability to work in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments • Attention to detail and quality-focused mindset
