Responsibilities
- Integrate multiple subsystems into top-level SOC, ensuring correct clock/reset/functional/DFT signal routing.
- Implement and deliver high performance, area, and power efficient RTL to achieve design targets and specifications.
- Analyze design, microarchitecture, or architecture to make trade-offs based on features, power, performance, or area requirements.
- Develop micro-architecture, implement SystemVerilog RTL, and deliver synthesis/timing clean design with constraints.
- Perform lint and clock domain crossing quality checks on the design.
