Agrani Labs is building a high-performance AI accelerator designed for the next generation of intelligent computing. We're looking for a talented and driven SOC Design Lead to join our Hardware Design Team.
You'll lead and drive SOC design execution from spec to tape-out, working closely with architects, DV, DFX, and PD teams to close the design loops.
What You'll Do
You'll be leading and driving SOC design execution from spec to tape-out. In this role you will interact with architects to understand the system requirement, IP features, driving micro-architecture, subsystem designs, SOC integration and interface to DV, DFX and PD team to close the design loops.
What We're Looking For
- 20+ years of hands-on experience in RTL design, with strong depth in both IP-level and SOC-level design
- Proven experience in micro-architecture definition,
- Strong working knowledge of industry-standard protocols and interfaces (PCIe, HBM, Ethernet, AXI or similar)
- Deep expertise in SOC design flows — integration, clocking, reset, power management, and top-level assembly
- Experience with CPU/GPU core integration, cache hierarchy design, and NOC/fabric/interconnect architecture.
- Hands-on expertise with design flows: build, lint, compile, CDC/RDC, Synthesis, and formal tools.
- Strong fundamentals in digital design — timing, power, area trade-offs, and low-power design techniques (UPF)
- Familiarity with DFT concepts (scan, MBIST, JTAG) and their impact on RTL design
- Strong design review and sign-off discipline — quality-first mindset
- Excellent communication skills — able to engage effectively with architecture, physical design, verification, and IP teams.
- Creative minds with problem solving mindset to drive innovation, efficiency with heavy AI leverage.
- Experience in leading and driving couple of large scale SOCs as SOC Design lead from spec to tape-out.
- Execution drive - planning, tracking, identify risks early, and deliver with quality and on commitment
Why Agrani Labs?
- Be part of a world-class engineering team with an open and collaborative work culture
