Responsibilities

  • As an RTL Design Engineer on the Modem team, you will:
  • Design and develop synthesizable, high-quality RTL for wireless modem digital baseband and PHY-layer signal processing blocks.
  • Define microarchitecture and implement DSP modules such as FIR filters, correlators, FFTs, and FEC decoders.
  • Optimize RTL designs to meet Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) requirements.
  • Develop module-level and subsystem-level testbenches and execute verification plans to ensure functional correctness.
  • Participate in microarchitecture discussions, design reviews, and documentation of IP functionality and timing interfaces.
  • Perform design quality checks, including Lint, CDC, RDC, and synthesis readiness.
  • Collaborate with verification engineers to develop test plans, achieve coverage closure, and resolve functional issues.
  • Work closely with modem systems, analog, and SoC teams to support IP integration and cross-functional debugging.
  • Drive design quality and contribute to the successful delivery of modem IPs.
  • Skills You Will Need
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Communication Engineering, or a related field.
  • 7–15 years of experience in digital RTL design, preferably involving wireless modem baseband or PHY-layer signal processing.
  • Strong expertise in Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design, digital microarchitecture, and synthesis.
  • Experience designing and implementing digital signal processing blocks such as FIR filters, FFTs, correlators, or FEC modules.
  • Proven ability to deliver RTL designs optimized for PPA.
  • Experience with module-level and subsystem-level verification, testbench development, and debugging.
  • Good understanding of digital communication systems and PHY-layer concepts.
  • Experience with design quality checks such as Lint, CDC, RDC, and synthesis.
  • Strong problem-solving, debugging, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Skills That Will Make You Stand Out
  • Experience with IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, or other OFDM-based wireless communication systems.
  • Strong understanding of wireless modem architecture and baseband signal processing.
  • Experience with low-power RTL design techniques and power optimization.
  • Hands-on experience integrating complex digital IPs into wireless SoCs.
  • Ability to independently own IP development, drive technical discussions, and resolve complex design and integration challenges.
  • "Experience with artificial intelligence (AI) powered tools and technologies used to enhance productivity, analysis, and decision-making"
  • Benefits & Perks
  • At Silicon Labs, you’ll be part of a highly skilled team where every engineer makes a meaningful impact. We promote work-life balance and a welcoming, fun environment.
  • Equity Rewards (RSUs)
