RTL (ASIC) Design Engineer

RTL Design Engineer (SDC Constraints) Experience: 7+ Years Location: Bangalore Work Mode: Hybrid / Remote Job Overview We are looking for a highly skilled Senior RTL ASIC Design Engineer with strong hands-on experience in SDC Constraints. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in RTL design, timing constraints, and close collaboration with synthesis and STA teams. Key Responsibilities Design and develop RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog) for complex ASIC blocks and subsystems Create, review, and maintain SDC constraints (clock definitions, I/O constraints, false paths, multicycle paths, exceptions, etc.) Work closely with synthesis, STA, physical design, and verification teams to achieve timing closure Perform RTL quality checks, linting, and CDC analysis Support timing debugging and constraint optimization across multiple design iterations Participate in architecture discussions and design reviews Ensure deliverables meet performance, power, and area (PPA) goals. Mandatory Skills & Experience 7+ years of hands-on experience in RTL ASIC design Strong and mandatory expertise in SDC Clocking strategies Timing exceptions Constraint validation and debug Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog Solid understanding of ASIC design flow (RTL → Synthesis → STA → P&R) Experience working with Synopsys tools (DC, PrimeTime – preferred) Strong knowledge of timing concepts and timing closure Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills Good to Have Experience in low-power design techniques Exposure to CDC/RDC methodologies Experience with complex SoC designs Scripting knowledge (Tcl / Perl / Python) Prior experience working with global or distributed teams
