RTL Design Engineer

Job Description:

Exp: 7 to 15 years

Work location: Bangalore/Remote

Key Responsibilities:

• Work with system architect to understand the requirements and design efficient RTL implementations targeting FPGAs.
• Translate MATLAB models to RTL for hardware realization
• MATLAB/Simulink based modelling, simulation and conversion to RTL
• Develop RTL architecture and microarchitecture based on algorithm requirements
• Implement RTL (Verilog/VHDL/SystemVerilog) for blocks like ORAN, ORAN IP compression, Digital filters, FFT engines, time synchronization protocols, JESD 2.5
• Perform functional verification, linting, and synthesis of RTL designs
• Implement on FPGA systems and validate the performance
• Collaborate with verification, and firmware teams to ensure end-to-end integration and functionality
• Support bring-up and on board validation as required

Required Skills & Experience:

• Strong RTL design skills in VHDL with knowledge of digital signal processing fundamentals
• Familiarity with verification methodologies desirable (UVM/SystemVerilog preferred)
• Exposure to FPGA design flow including synthesis, implementation, STA and timing closure
• Exposure in AMD and Altera tool flows – hands on experience on Altera Agilex FPGA or AMD(Xilinx) Zynq RFSoC highly desired
• Good debugging skills and ability to analyze RTL and simulation mismatches
• Preference 1:
• • Proficient in MATLAB/Simulink for algorithm modeling, fixed-point conversion, and simulation
  • Solid understanding of ORAN domain – control and data planes
  • Experience in lower and upper layer protocol implementation in wireless domain
  • Experience in wireless stack packet processing – Layer 2/Layer 3 switching etc.

• Preference 2: If not wireless domain exposure, experience in wireline Ethernet packet processing capabilities can also be considered with complexity level of routing or switching function implementation
• Preference 3: If not wireless or wireliene packet processing domain exposure, Experience in Radar signal processing implementation can also be considered – channel coding, modulator, demodulator

Preferred Qualifications:

• M.Tech / B.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, or a related field
• Experience with FPGA tools (e.g., AMD/Xilinx, Altera)
• Knowledge of scripting languages like Python, Tcl, or Perl

• Familiarity with tools such as ModelSim, Questa, Vivado, Quartus
