Job title: Principal IC Digital Design - SoC Design/Micro-architecture
About the Role The Principal Digital IC Design Engineer (DE06T5) is a senior individual contributor responsible for the design, integration, and delivery of complex digital logic for advanced SoC products. This role owns major IP blocks or subsystems and acts as a recognized technical authority within the program or department.
What You'll Do
- Own RTL design, implementation, and integration of complex blocks or subsystems
- Define and influence block-level and subsystem-level micro-architecture
- Develop high-quality, synthesizable RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog
- Ensure design correctness through lint, CDC, RDC, and peer reviews
- Collaborate with verification, validation, Firmware and synthesis/STA, and physical design teams
- Identify and resolve complex functional, timing, power and integration issues
- Contribute to digital design methodologies and best practices
- Mentor and guide junior engineers
- Participate in design reviews and tape-out readiness
What We're Looking For
