The role focuses on cryptographic accelerators, Root of Trust, secure enclaves, key management, secure boot, access control, and other security-critical design blocks.The engineer will drive the complete front-end RTL development cycle, from micro-architecture definition and SystemVerilog implementation through quality checks, synthesis readiness, full-chip integration support, and tape-out closure. The role requires strong ASIC design fundamentals and practical understanding of security threats such as side-channel leakage, fault injection, unauthorized debug access, and key exposure.Job ResponsibilitiesLead micro-architecture definition and RTL design ownership for hardware security modules, cryptographic engines, and security subsystems.Translate architecture requirements, software use cases, threat-model inputs, and interface specifications into clean, implementation-ready micro-architecture specifications.Implement high-quality SystemVerilog RTL for blocks such as AES, SHA, ECC/RSA accelerators, TRNG, key management, secure boot logic, access-control logic, and anti-tamper features.Incorporate secure design techniques, including side-channel mitigation, fault-injection resistance, secure state-machine design, zeroization, privilege checks, and debug lockdown mechanisms.Collaborate with architecture, verification, physical design, DFT, firmware, software, and SoC integration teams to meet security, performance, area, power, and schedule goals.Qualify RTL through front-end design checks such as lint, clock-domain crossing, reset-domain crossing, synthesis, DFT, low-power, formal, and equivalence-readiness reviews.Support performance, latency, bandwidth, buffer sizing, and configuration tuning for security IPs and related system interfaces.Participate in full-chip integration, emulation, silicon bring-up, post-silicon debug, and validation of hardware security features.Contribute to threat-model reviews, security design reviews, standards alignment, and certification-readiness activities where applicable.Mentor junior engineers and improve RTL design methodology, design review quality, reusable collateral, and secure-by-construction design practices.Required SkillsetStrong VLSI logic design expertise with deep ownership of complex SoC or IP-level RTL design.Hands-on experience in SystemVerilog/Verilog RTL coding, micro-architecture, front-end ASIC design flow, and design convergence.Practical hardware security design experience in cryptographic hardware, Root of Trust, secure enclaves, secure processors, key management, or equivalent security IP.Strong understanding of cryptographic acceleration and secure datapath/control design, including AES, SHA, RSA/ECC, TRNG, secure boot, and lifecycle-controlled access paths.Good understanding of side-channel and fault attack countermeasures, secure state machines, privilege separation, tamper resistance, and physical security techniques.Working knowledge of on-chip interconnect and register-access protocols such as APB, AHB, AXI, ACE, or ACE-Lite.Good understanding of clock/reset domains, clock gating, low-power intent, debug infrastructure, and SoC integration constraints.Experience with ASIC convergence activities such as synthesis, static timing analysis, lint, CDC/RDC, DFT, low-power checks, formal verification, and LEC.Strong debugging, analytical thinking, problem solving, communication, and cross-site collaboration skills.Desired SkillsetExperience with security certifications...
