Required Skills

Description

The Infra-Silicon team at Meta designs and develops custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) that power Meta's data center infrastructure. These domain-specific chips are purpose-built to accelerate computationally intensive workloads, including AI inference, video processing, and networking at scale. In this role, you will contribute to the full front-end design lifecycle of next-generation silicon, from microarchitecture definition through RTL implementation and handoff to physical design teams, working closely with architecture, verification, and implementation engineers to deliver high-performance, power-efficient silicon solutions. Responsibilities: Develop and refine micro-architecture specifications for complex digital logic blocks including control paths, data paths, and interconnects Implement RTL designs in Verilog or SystemVerilog based on micro-architecture specifications and design requirements Collaborate with verification engineers to review test plans, coverage results, and debug functional failures at the block and chip level Partner with physical design and implementation teams to resolve timing, area, and power closure issues through RTL and constraint refinement Identify, evaluate, and integrate soft and hard IP components into the SoC design flow Participate in design reviews and contribute to micro-architecture documentation and specification updates Support emulation and prototyping efforts to enable early software bring-up and system-level validation Analyze power consumption and contribute to low-power design techniques such as clock gating and power domain partitioning Collaborate with architecture teams to translate algorithmic requirements into implementable hardware micro-architectures Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, a relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience 2+ years of experience in digital ASIC or SoC front-end design Experience in one of these skills: Micro-architecture and RTL development for complex control/data path and networking IPs (Intellectual Properties), OR Experience in SoC (System on Chip) Micro-architecture, Design and Integration, OR Implementation, Power methodology development Experience with RTL coding using Verilog or SystemVerilog Experience with lint, CDC, RDC analysis and flows Knowledge and hands-on experience with AMBA-AXI, PCIe or networking protocols Experience with synthesis, static timing analysis, and timing closure methodologies Experience collaborating with verification or physical design teams during the silicon development cycle Experience designing data path or memory subsystem logic for AI, networking, or video processing workloads
