RTL Design Engineer - PCI-e

Job Description :

We are looking for a highly skilled RTL Design Engineer with strong expertise in RTL coding, micro-architecture design, CDC, and lint checks, and hands-on experience in PCIe Gen4/Gen5 (Root Complex / PCIe Controller) development. The candidate will be responsible for end-to-end design implementation, ensuring high-quality, synthesizable RTL, and collaborating closely with verification and architecture teams.

Key Responsibilities :

- Design and develop RTL modules for PCIe Gen4/Gen5 Root Complex and Controller.

- Translate architecture specifications into micro-architecture and implement high-quality RTL.

- Perform Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) analysis and resolve issues.

- Conduct lint, synthesis checks, and timing closure support to ensure design robustness.

- Collaborate with verification teams to define verification strategies and resolve design bugs.

- Work on design integration at IP/Sub-system/SoC level.

- Support DFT/STA/physical design teams for successful chip implementation.

- Ensure compliance with PCIe protocol specifications and performance requirements.

- Document design, micro-architecture, and review specifications.

Required Skills & Experience :

- Strong expertise in RTL Design (SystemVerilog/Verilog).

- Hands-on experience in micro-architecture design and documentation.

- Deep understanding of Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) methodologies and tools.

- Experience with linting tools (Spyglass, Ascent Lint, etc.).

- Solid exposure to PCIe Gen4/Gen5 protocols - must have worked on Root Complex and/or Controller.

- Experience in synthesis, timing closure, and debug.

- Strong problem-solving, debug, and analytical skills.

- Good communication and ability to work with global teams.

Nice to Have :

- Exposure to other high-speed interfaces (CXL, Ethernet, DDR, USB).

- Familiarity with low-power design, power intent (UPF/CPF).

- Knowledge of Emulation/FPGA prototyping.

- Scripting knowledge (Python/Perl/Tcl) for automation.

- SoC-level integration and design experience.

Education : Bachelor's / Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical, or Computer Engineering or equivalent.
