Job description

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated HW Logic Designer to join our hardware development team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in digital logic design, microarchitecture, and RTL coding. Experience with hardware description languages and FPGA / ASIC design processes is essential.

The candidate will be responsible for complex cryptographic IP block development and implementing patent-pending DPA countermeasures across front-end design, including microarchitecture specification, RTL code development, and verification.

Requirements :

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 4–5 years of hands-on experience in logic design, microarchitecture, and RTL coding in Verilog.
  • Proven experience with VCS, Verdi, and Spyglass—or similar tools.
  • Experience with FPGA design and implementation, including synthesis, place, and route.
  • Familiarity with ASIC design and / or verification methodologies.
  • Ability to write detailed, clear microarchitecture and verification reports
  • Familiarity with CAD for ASIC design (Synopsys or Cadence).
  • Familiarity with formal verification between RTL and Netlist.
  • Familiarity with modern cryptography.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks effectively.

Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience with hardware simulation and verification tools (ModelSim, QuestaSim, etc.).
  • Knowledge of high-speed interface protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, etc.).
  • Understanding of SystemVerilog and UVM for verification.
  • Experience with scripting languages (Python, Tcl, etc.) for automation.
  • Knowledge and experience in cryptographic algorithms and countermeasure techniques such as Differential Power Analysis (DPA).

    • Key Responsibilities :

  • Design, implement, and verify digital logic circuits and systems.
  • Develop and maintain hardware description language (HDL) code, with a primary focus on Verilog / SystemVerilog
  • Work on FPGA / ASIC design, synthesis, and verification, including hands-on RTL coding.
  • Complex cryptographic IP block development and the implementation of patent-pending DPA countermeasures across front-end design, including microarchitecture specification, RTL code development, and verification.
  • Collaborate with software, hardware, and verification engineers in design integration and testing.
  • Perform timing, power, performance, area analysis, and optimization to meet requirements.
  • Participate in design and code reviews and provide constructive feedback.
  • Document design specifications and interfaces.
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends and technologies related to digital logic design.

    • What We Offer You :

  • Competitive compensation, based on your experience and skills.
  • Remote work model.
  • Opportunities for career growth and development.
  • Exposure to modern approaches and tools to solve business problems.

    • FortifyIQ is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates.
