RTL DESIGN ENGINEER

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
