About the role
Mueon is hiring an RTL Design Lead to drive the front-end design of SoCs, translating architectural intent into synthesizable RTL for core compute, memory, and interconnect subsystems. This is a hands-on role with ownership spanning microarchitecture definition, RTL implementation, and cross-functional execution.
What you'll do
- Design and implement clean, synthesizable RTL for major SoC subsystems using Verilog and SystemVerilog.
- Collaborate with architects to define and document microarchitecture specifications and implementation notes.
- Drive design decisions that balance performance, power, and area across large-scale systems.
- Partner with verification teams to ensure functional correctness through simulation and formal methods.
- Work with synthesis and STA teams to support timing closure, CDC analysis, and implementation readiness.
- Participate in design reviews and support silicon bring-up across the development lifecycle.
What you'll need
- B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 8+ years of experience in RTL design and digital logic development.
- Extensive experience delivering complex RTL blocks or full SoCs to tape-out.
- Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals, including pipelining, FSMs, and clocking.
- Familiarity with synthesis, STA, CDC analysis, and low-power design techniques.
- Experience working across architecture, verification, and physical design boundaries.

How we counted: 1098 open Digital/RTL Design (RTL Design) roles from 104 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 11 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Digital Design & Verification family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
