We are looking for an RTL IP Design Engineer to join our silicon design team for a high-impact engagement with a prestigious global client. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in digital IP and subsystem design, with a passion for developing high-quality, reusable, and power/performance-optimized IP blocks that form the building blocks of complex SoCs.

About Us Mettlesemi Systems and Technologies Pvt. Ltd. is a Bangalore-based deep-tech company driving innovation across three key verticals:

1.Custom Silicon Solutions & Embedded Systems Design

2.Secure Hardware Products for Authentication and Cybersecurity

3.Ultra-Low-Latency FPGA Systems for FinTech and Critical Infrastructure

Our expertise spans the entire silicon lifecyclefrom RTL design to SoC validation and ASIC prototypingpositioning us as a trusted partner to leading global semiconductor clients. This opportunity falls under our Silicon Solutions and Services vertical, with a core focus on RTL IP Design and Development.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop synthesizable RTL IPs and digital subsystems for SoCs using Verilog/SystemVerilog.
• Collaborate with architects to define microarchitecture specifications and interface protocols (AMBA, AXI, AHB, APB, etc.).
• Ensure reusability, scalability, and configurability of IPs for integration across multiple SoC platforms.
• Conduct functional simulation, debug, and performance analysis to ensure design quality and compliance with specifications.
• Perform RTL quality checks including Lint, CDC, and RDC; work closely with synthesis and physical design teams for timing closure.
• Partner with the verification team to define test plans and achieve full functional coverage.
• Contribute to integration of IPs into SoC environments and support pre-silicon and post-silicon validation activities.
• Develop and maintain automation scripts (Python/Perl/Tcl) to streamline design workflows.

Required Skills & Experience

• Bachelors or masters degree in electrical engineering, computer science engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in RTL IP and subsystem design, microarchitecture development, and SoC-level integration.
• Strong proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog and digital design fundamentals.
• Experience with RTL quality flows (Lint, CDC, RDC, synthesis, STA).
• Solid understanding of clocking, reset, power, and low-power design techniques.
• Experience designing IPs for AMBA-based interconnects or other standard interfaces.
• Excellent analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ARM-based SoCs or custom IP design for ASIC/FPGA implementations.
• Familiarity with verification methodologies, scripting (Python, Perl, Tcl), and automation frameworks.
• Exposure to integration and verification of third-party IPs.

Why Join Mettlesemi

• Work on cutting-edge SoC and IP design for global semiconductor clients.
• Opportunity to own IP blocks that power next-generation silicon platforms.
• Collaborative, innovation-driven work culture.
• End-to-end visibility from RTL design to system integration.
• Competitive compensation and growth opportunities.
