  • Architect and deliver high-performance, power- and area-efficient RTL designs aligned with product requirements.
  • Perform and sign off front-end quality checks, including lint, CDC/RDC, synthesis, UPF, and timing QoR.
  • Collaborate closely with physical design, verification, and architecture teams to achieve timing closure and PPA goals.
  • Improve design quality and efficiency by refining methodologies, driving automation, and enhancing RTL design flows.
