    Project Description:

    The Principal Engineer, RTL Design within the NPU Hardware & Software organization, is a senior individual contributor role for an engineer with deep expertise in RTL design and development for complex digital systems, including neural processing units (NPUs) or similar advanced computing architectures. This role provides expert-level technical leadership across architecture, design, implementation, and validation of critical NPU subsystems used in ADAS, autonomous driving, and in-vehicle AI applications.

    Responsibilities:

    • RTL Design & Architecture (40%)
    • lead the design and implementation of complex RTL blocks, modules, and subsystems using Verilog/SystemVerilog for NPU architectures.
    • Collaborate with system and microarchitecture architects to define and refine specifications, translating requirements into robust RTL solutions.
    • Drive architectural and RTL decisions to optimize performance, power efficiency, and area (PPA) for AI workloads.
    • Design and optimize compute engines, data paths, and memory hierarchies for high bandwidth, latency sensitive neural network processing.
    • Design Optimization & Performance Analysis (40%)
    • Own timing analysis and timing closure strategies for complex designs, identifying and resolving critical paths.
    • Apply advanced low power techniques, including clock gating and power aware design methodologies, to meet aggressive power targets.
    • Lead area optimization efforts while preserving functional correctness and performance goals.
    • Ensure testability by guiding and implementing design for test (DFT) strategies to support silicon validation and manufacturing readiness.
    • Integration, Validation & Technical Leadership (10%)
    • Provide technical leadership during RTL integration, working closely with verification teams on simulation, emulation, and FPGA prototyping.
    • Partner with software, hardware, and system teams to ensure seamless integration of the NPU into the broader vehicle compute platform.
    • Review designs, mentor engineers, and set best practices for RTL quality, correctness, and maintainability.
    • Author and review technical documentation, including design specifications, architecture reviews, and implementation guidelines.
    • Technology Direction & Cross Functional Influence (10%)
    • Influence RTL and hardware development methodologies across programs, contributing to consistency and scalability of design practices.
    • Evaluate emerging tools, technologies, and design approaches relevant to AI accelerators and automotive hardware platforms.
    • Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders, supporting informed decision making.

    Mandatory Skills Description:

    • Expert communicator across global, cross-cultural, and cross-functional teams.
    • Strong analytical, system level, and architectural thinking.
    • Proven ability to lead technical initiatives without direct authority.
    • High bar for design correctness, validation, and quality.
    • Collaborative mindset across hardware, software, and verification organizations.
    • Extensive experience in RTL design using Verilog/SystemVerilog for complex digital systems, preferably NPUs or AI accelerators.
    • Proficiency with EDA tools for synthesis, simulation, and timing analysis (Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor).
    • Strong understanding of computer architecture, microarchitecture, and hardware/software co design.
    • Experience with FPGA prototyping, emulation platforms (e.g., VCS, Palladium), and HW/SW co-verification.
    • Scripting experience (Python, Perl) for automation and productivity.
    • Deep knowledge of low power design and power optimization techniques.
    • Demonstrated track record of delivering complex RTL designs from concept through silicon production.
