About The Position

Join Ericsson’s Accelerator IP team in Austin, TX as a Senior RTL Design Engineer and own the microarchitecture of next-generation L1 accelerators from blank page to silicon. This role is for individuals who thrive on translating complex DSP/FEC algorithms into high-performance SystemVerilog, making tough power/area/throughput trade-offs, and delivering end-to-end IP in a lean, high-impact team. At Ericsson’s Accelerator IP team, we’re designing custom microarchitecture accelerators for EMCA L1 processing that push the boundaries of performance and innovation. You’ll work in a small, elite team where your ideas shape products used worldwide and your contributions have a direct line to impact. You’ll own major blocks end-to-end, from concept to final hand-off. This is an arena for those who thrive on turning complex algorithms into cutting-edge hardware and enjoy the adrenaline of building something from the ground up.

Requirements

Several years of RTL design in complex ASIC/IP environments.
Expert SystemVerilog/Verilog skills—and a passion for crafting elegant, efficient designs.
End-to-end ASIC flow mastery: coding, linting, CDC, synthesis, timing closure.
Proven ability to distill DSP, FEC, or other L1 processing algorithms into high-performance hardware.
Equally comfortable deep-diving into code and shaping high-level architecture strategies.
A collaborative powerhouse who thrives in an intense, creative, close-knit environment.

Responsibilities

Transform high-level architectural vision into blazing-fast, reliable RTL (SystemVerilog/Verilog).
Take complete ownership of major IP blocks—specification, microarchitecture, RTL creation, synthesis, and delivery.
Act as the go-to technical lead for verification, backend/PD, and architecture teams.
Drive optimizations to balance power, area, and throughput without compromising innovation.
Lead critical design decisions that steer the next generation of telecom hardware.
