- Implement patent-pending DPA countermeasures across front-end design, including microarchitecture specification, RTL development, and verification.
- Work on FPGA/ASIC design, synthesis, place and route, and verification activities.
- Collaborate with software, hardware, and verification engineers on design integration and testing.
- Perform timing, power, performance, and area analysis and optimization to meet requirements.
- Participate in design and code reviews, document design specifications and interfaces, and stay up-to-date with industry trends.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- 4–5 years of hands-on experience in logic design, microarchitecture, and RTL coding in Verilog.
- Proven experience with VCS, Verdi, and Spyglass—or similar tools.
- Experience with FPGA design and implementation, including synthesis, place, and route.
- Familiarity with ASIC design and/or verification methodologies.
- Ability to write detailed, clear microarchitecture and verification reports.
- Familiarity with CAD for ASIC design (Synopsys or Cadence).
- Familiarity with formal verification between RTL and Netlist.
- Familiarity with modern cryptography.
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks effectively.
- Preferred: Experience with hardware simulation and verification tools (ModelSim, QuestaSim, etc.).
- Preferred: Knowledge of high-speed interface protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, etc.).
- Preferred: Understanding of SystemVerilog and UVM for verification.
- Preferred: Experience with scripting languages (Python, Tcl, etc.) for automation.
- Preferred: Knowledge and experience in cryptographic algorithms and countermeasure techniques such as Differential Power Analysis (DPA).
