SoC Design Lead – High-Speed I/O Controller IP

Job Title: SoC Design Lead – High-Speed I/O Controller IP

Bangalore / Hyderabad

We are a well-funded early-stage startup building the next generation of high-performance SoC design technologies.

We’re looking for a seasoned SoC Design Lead with deep expertise in microarchitecture and RTL development to drive the design of one of PCIe, CXL, or UCIe controller IP. This is a unique opportunity to shape both our technology roadmap and engineering culture, while working hands-on at the cutting edge of high-speed I/O innovation.

Responsibilities

• Own the microarchitecture for high-speed I/O controllers (PCIe, CXL, UCIe) – from concept to production-ready RTL.

• Lead architectural exploration, research, and specification development, balancing performance, power, and area trade-offs.

• Write and optimize RTL code in Verilog/SystemVerilog, ensuring robust, scalable designs.

• Partner with verification teams to define assertions, test plans, and debug flows, driving high-quality coverage and sign-off.

• Collaborate with physical design engineers on implementation, timing closure, and silicon validation.

• Work closely with software/firmware teams to define configuration, integration, and performance requirements.

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship within the design team, fostering best practices in architecture, coding, and methodology.

Qualifications & Preferred Skills

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.

• 12–15 years of hands-on experience in microarchitecture and RTL design.

• Proven track record in large-scale, high-speed, pipelined, and low-power digital designs.

• Deep understanding of at least one high-speed I/O protocol (PCIe, CXL, or UCIe); multi-protocol experience is a strong plus.

• Proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, and familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools and flows.

• Experience developing IP blocks for high-speed I/O controllers; knowledge of PHY integration is a plus.

• Strong problem-solving and debug skills; ability to work across the full chip development lifecycle.

• Familiarity with Python or other modern scripting/programming languages for automation and productivity is a plus.

• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset, with experience working in cross-functional teams.

• Self-starter comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment, with the ability to balance leadership and hands-on contributions.
