Integration Engineer

Acceler8 Talent is seeking an experienced RTL Engineer to join an early-stage startup building a compute platform for AGI. This is a chance to own the full-chip RTL assembly process, collaborate across subsystems, and ensure the world’s most advanced AI silicon comes together into a seamless, production-ready product.

They're looking for a Top-Level Integration expert to drive the assembly, integration, and validation of their chips. In this role, you will own the top-level RTL integration flow, ensuring that subsystems come together into a performant, functionally correct, and sign-off full-chip design.

Responsibilities:

•Own the top-level RTL integration of large, complex SoCs from subsystem drop to sign-off.

•Develop and maintain integration methodologies for scalable assembly across full-chip builds.

•Drive chip-level reviews of connectivity, functionality, timing, and PPA closure across milestones (integration freeze, design freeze, tapeout).

•Work closely with subsystem owners, verification, DFT, and physical design teams to resolve integration issues and ensure clean handoff to downstream flows.

•Debug and resolve top-level RTL issues (connectivity mismatches, CDC/RDC, resets, clocks, design lint) across the chip hierarchy.

•Deliver sign-off quality RTL suitable for synthesis, equivalence checking, and emulation.

Requirements:

•Hands-on experience with top-level RTL integration of ASICs or SoCs, from subsystem assembly through production silicon.

•Strong skills in SystemVerilog for integration and debugging; familiarity with Python, C/C++, or scripting languages to support integration flows.

•Deep knowledge of chip-level design concepts: clocks, resets, power domains, CDC/RDC, lint, connectivity, and hierarchical build flows.

•Experience with synthesis and sign-off flows (equivalence checking, lint, DFT/scan stitching, power/timing checks).

•Proven track record of working across multi-disciplinary teams (design, verification, physical design, DFT) to achieve high-quality tapeouts.

•Plus: familiarity with emulation platforms and methodologies.

•Plus: experience with silicon bring-up and debug.
