Company

hirify.global provides semiconductor solutions that serve as essential building blocks for data infrastructure across enterprise, cloud, and AI architectures.

What you will do

• Define microarchitecture and develop SystemVerilog RTL for SoC components, including interconnects, memory interfaces, and global logic.
• Integrate processor clusters, HBM/DDR memory controllers, and high-speed interfaces, focusing on data flow and system-level behavior.
• Collaborate with verification teams to review test plans, support functional debug, and close coverage gaps.
• Perform design checks (lint, CDC/RDC), define timing constraints, and work with physical design teams to meet implementation requirements.
• Coordinate with IP, SerDes, and analog teams to integrate complex interfaces and resolve subsystem issues.
• Contribute to design methodology and provide technical guidance to other engineers.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in CS or EE with 5-10 years of experience, or Master’s/PhD with 3-5 years of experience.
• Proven experience delivering complex SoCs to tape-out and working across subsystem boundaries.
• Strong RTL design skills in SystemVerilog and hands-on experience with SoC integration and debug.
• Familiarity with AMBA protocols (AXI), SoC interconnect architectures, clock/reset design, and CDC.
• Understanding of how RTL decisions impact physical implementation.
• Experience with Python or Tcl scripting for automation.

Nice to have

• Exposure to emerging interconnect standards such as UCIe and UALink.

Culture & Benefits

• Financial well-being programs, including an employee stock purchase plan with a 2-year look back.
• Comprehensive family support programs to help balance work and home life.
• Robust mental and physical health resources.
• Recognition and service awards to celebrate contributions and milestones.
