RTL Design Engineer

Location: United States Overview Inabia is seeking an RTL Design Engineer for a fully remote 12-month contract engagement focused on custom silicon development. The ideal candidate will own the full micro-architecture and RTL design lifecycle for complex digital blocks, operating independently from day one. This role requires hands-on fluency in SystemVerilog and recent experience with memory controller design and SoC integration. Responsibilities Own micro-architecture definition derived from high-level functional specifications Develop and implement RTL for complex digital blocks using SystemVerilog/Verilog Drive digital block control logic and IP integration Participate in subsystem-level architecture alignment discussions Support design sign-off activities including CDC, RDC, lint, and synthesis readiness checks Collaborate closely with Design Verification (DV) teams for closure and debug Take full project lifecycle ownership with minimal supervision Key Qualifications Strong, current expertise in RTL design using SystemVerilog and/or Verilog Demonstrated ability to independently define micro-architecture from functional specs Recent hands-on experience designing custom RTL blocks such as controllers, DMAs, or SoC bus bridges Solid understanding of memory controllers, including HBM, DDR4, or DDR5 Experience with SoC integration and digital subsystem design Proficiency with IP integration and block-level ownership Working knowledge of sign-off flows including CDC (Clock Domain Crossing) and RDC (Reset Domain Crossing) Experience designing IPs with multiple clock domains Ability to operate independently with no ramp-up time required Preferred Qualifications Experience in subsystem-level RTL development Exposure to Die-to-Die (D2D) logic design Prior experience working directly with major hyperscaler silicon teams
