Lead Engineer – RTL Design (Wireless Modem IP)

Overview

Design and develop high-performance, power-efficient RTL for wireless modem IPs that enable Wi-Fi and low-power IoT devices, working on digital baseband and PHY-layer signal processing blocks.

What you'll do

• Design and develop synthesizable, high-quality RTL for wireless modem digital baseband and PHY-layer signal processing blocks.
• Define microarchitecture and implement DSP modules such as FIR filters, correlators, FFTs, and FEC decoders.
• Optimize RTL designs to meet Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) requirements.
• Develop module-level and subsystem-level testbenches and execute verification plans to ensure functional correctness.
• Participate in microarchitecture discussions, design reviews, and documentation of IP functionality and timing interfaces.
• Perform design quality checks, including Lint, CDC, RDC, and synthesis readiness.
• Collaborate with verification engineers to develop test plans, achieve coverage closure, and resolve functional issues.
• Work closely with modem systems, analog, and SoC teams to support IP integration and cross-functional debugging.
• Drive design quality and contribute to the successful delivery of modem IPs.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Communication Engineering, or a related field.
• 7–15 years of experience in digital RTL design, preferably involving wireless modem baseband or PHY-layer signal processing.
• Strong expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design, digital microarchitecture, and synthesis.
• Experience designing and implementing digital signal processing blocks such as FIR filters, FFTs, correlators, or FEC modules.
• Proven ability to deliver RTL designs optimized for PPA.
• Experience with module-level and subsystem-level verification, testbench development, and debugging.
• Good understanding of digital communication systems and PHY-layer concepts.
• Experience with design quality checks such as Lint, CDC, RDC, and synthesis.
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Nice to have

• Experience with IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, or other OFDM-based wireless communication systems.
• Strong understanding of wireless modem architecture and baseband signal processing.
• Experience with low-power RTL design techniques and power optimization.
• Hands-on experience integrating complex digital IPs into wireless SoCs.
• Ability to independently own IP development, drive technical discussions, and resolve complex design and integration challenges.
• Experience with artificial intelligence (AI) powered tools and technologies used to enhance productivity, analysis, and decision-making.
