Principal Engineer,RTL

Job Description

Collaborate with system architects and micro-architects to define high-level, implementable SoC specifications. Own end-to-end SOC RTL delivery while analysing and optimizing design for power, performance, and area (PPA) targets. Influence SoC definition, features, and adopt physical design friendly partitioning. Lead RTL design and integration of multi-subsystem SoCs , supporting complex architectures with multi-core, multi-power, and multi-reset domains . Demonstrate strong proficiency with front-end flows , including Lint, CDC, low-power (UPF) checks, synthesis, DFT , and Static Timing Analysis (STA) . Drive the development of robust Safety, Security, and Debug architectures for advanced SoCs with multiple interconnects. Design and integrate standard interface protocols such as AHB, AXI, CHI , and memory interfaces including ROM, RAM, Flash, LPDDR/DDR3/4 . Engage cross-functionally with DFT, physical design, verification, emulation, and validation teams to ensure first-time-right silicon and on-time project delivery. Support post-silicon debug, bring-up, and validation , working closely with lab and silicon validation teams. Continuously evaluate and adopt new design methodologies and best practices to improve productivity and shift-left the design cycle. Mentor junior engineers, review their work, and provide technical leadership and guidance across multiple design projects. Provide overall leadership and tracking of the team s goals. Contribute to the innovation quotient of the team via Desing Patents, Industry Standard Publications, AI-enabled design methodologies etc. 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. Company Description Renesas is one of the top global semiconductor companies in the world.
