RTL Design Engineer

About the role

Overview

Inabia is seeking an RTL Design Engineer for a fully remote 12-month contract engagement focused on custom silicon development. The ideal candidate will own the full micro-architecture and RTL design lifecycle for complex digital blocks, operating independently from day one. This role requires hands-on fluency in SystemVerilog and recent experience with memory controller design and SoC integration.

Responsibilities

Own micro-architecture definition derived from high-level functional specifications

Develop and implement RTL for complex digital blocks using SystemVerilog/Verilog

Drive digital block control logic and IP integration

Participate in subsystem-level architecture alignment discussions

Support design sign-off activities including CDC, RDC, lint, and synthesis readiness checks

Collaborate closely with Design Verification (DV) teams for closure and debug

Take full project lifecycle ownership with minimal supervision

Key Qualifications

Strong, current expertise in RTL design using SystemVerilog and/or Verilog

Demonstrated ability to independently define micro-architecture from functional specs

Recent hands-on experience designing custom RTL blocks such as controllers, DMAs, or SoC bus bridges

Solid understanding of memory controllers, including HBM, DDR4, or DDR5

Experience with SoC integration and digital subsystem design

Proficiency with IP integration and block-level ownership

Working knowledge of sign-off flows including CDC (Clock Domain Crossing) and RDC (Reset Domain Crossing)

Experience designing IPs with multiple clock domains

Ability to operate independently with no ramp-up time required

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in subsystem-level RTL development

Exposure to Die-to-Die (D2D) logic design

Prior experience working directly with major hyperscaler silicon teams
