Here, you'll work in a small, elite team where your ideas shape products used worldwide-and your contributions have a direct line to impact. Forget being siloed: you'll own major blocks end-to-end, from the first spark of concept to the final hand-off.
If you thrive on turning complex algorithms into cutting-edge hardware and enjoy the adrenaline of building something from the ground up, this is your arena.
Transform high-level architectural vision into blazing-fast, reliable RTL (SystemVerilog/Verilog).
Take complete ownership of major IP blocks-specification, microarchitecture, RTL creation, synthesis, and delivery.
Act as the go-to technical lead for verification, backend/PD, and architecture teams.
Drive optimizations to balance power, area, and throughput without compromising innovation.
Lead critical design decisions that steer the next generation of telecom hardware.
What you'll bring
Several years of RTL design in complex ASIC/IP environments.
Expert SystemVerilog/Verilog skills-and a passion for crafting elegant, efficient designs.
End-to-end ASIC flow mastery: coding, linting, CDC, synthesis, timing closure.
Proven ability to distill DSP, FEC, or other L1 processing algorithms into high-performance hardware.
Equally comfortable deep-diving into code and shaping high-level architecture strategies.
A collaborative powerhouse who thrives in an intense, creative, close-knit environment.
You'll be shaping products that power world-class telecom systems in an environment where creativity meets precision. Expect autonomy, impact, and the thrill of seeing your designs come alive in cutting-edge hardware.
