About this role
Title: ASIC/SoC RTL Design Engineer
Location: Palo Alto, CA (Or potentially Burlington, MA)
Length of Contract: 6 months+ (Temp-to-Perm)
Ideal Start: 6/1/2026
Responsibilities :
Own end-to-end design of complex SoC subsystems, driving architecture, RTL implementation, and tapeout. Focus on high-performance Datapath, PPA optimization, and cross-functional integration across silicon, firmware, and system teams.
Must haves:
- 8 12+ years in ASIC/SoC digital design with hands-on RTL ownership
- Strong SystemVerilog/Verilog RTL development (Datapath, control logic, state machines)
- Proven experience owning subsystems from architecture RTL tapeout
- Deep understanding of PPA tradeoffs, timing closure, clock/reset, and power-aware design
- Experience designing high throughput Datapath (buffering, arbitration, memory hierarchy)
- Background in advanced nodes ( 28nm) and cross-functional collaboration (verification, systems, firmware)
Pluses:
- Experience with compute-intensive pipelines (DSP, AI, beamforming, MAC Datapath)
- Exposure to sensor / imaging systems (e.g., ultrasound, data acquisition)
- Experience with programmable compute blocks (AI accelerators, MPUs, eFPGA)
