Responsibilities

  1. Architecture Design: Participate in defining the architecture of SoC top or subsystems (NoC/CPU/NPU/ISP/Codec), and conduct PPA (Power, Performance, Area) evaluation during the early design phase.
  2. RTL Implementation: Write high-quality, well-structured RTL code (Verilog/SystemVerilog) and maintain related design documentation.
  3. Front-End Quality Control: Perform Lint, CDC (Clock Domain Crossing), and RDC (Reset Domain Crossing) checks to ensure code standard compliance and design robustness.
  4. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the Verification team for debugging and achieving Coverage closure; collaborate with the Backend/Mid-end teams to support Synthesis, SDC (Synopsys Design Constraints) generation, STA (Static Timing Analysis), and power optimization.
  5. Low Power Design: Participate in the formulation of chip low-power strategies, proficiently apply Clock Gating and Power Gating techniques, and support the UPF (Unified Power Format) flow.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Microelectronics, Integrated Circuits, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in digital front-end design (open to highly promising candidates with less experience).
  • Mastery of Verilog/SystemVerilog and a solid foundation in digital circuits.
  • Proficiency with mainstream front-end EDA tools (e.g., Spyglass, Design Compiler, PrimeTime).
  • Fluent in at least one scripting language (Python, Perl, Tcl, Makefile) for workflow automation.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Deep understanding of NPU architecture, HW/SW co-design and AI hardware acceleration.
  • Proven experience in SoC-level performance profiling and bottleneck analysis.
  • Hands-on experience in the integration of complex SoC core subsystems (e.g., CPU/NPU clusters, Memory subsystems).
  • Successful tape-out experience in advanced process nodes (7nm/5nm/3nm).
