About Us

10xEngineers is a pioneer semiconductor design services company in Pakistan, working with global clients at the cutting edge of hardware and software innovation. Our teams specialize in RISC-V processors, design & verification, image signal processing (ISP), and compiler technologies (LLVM/MLIR). We take pride in delivering high-quality IP design, verification, and system-level solutions that accelerate our partners’ time-to-market.

We are looking for passionate RTL Design Engineers to join our engineering team and contribute to next-generation semiconductor designs.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement RTL modules for SoCs, IP blocks, and subsystems.
• Work on architecture and microarchitecture definition, RTL coding, and integration.
• Collaborate closely with architects, verification engineers, and physical design teams across sites.
• Perform RTL development tasks including simulation, lint checks, clock domain crossing (CDC) checks, synthesis, and static timing analysis (STA).
• Ensure design quality by following release checklists, design reviews, and sign-off processes.
• Support post-silicon bring-up, FPGA prototyping, and debug activities when required.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field.
• 1–4 years of practical experience in RTL/digital design.
• Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog for RTL coding and debugging.
• Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals: FSMs, pipelining, timing closure, clock/reset design.
• Familiarity with AMBA bus protocols (AXI, AHB, APB).
• Experience with EDA tools for simulation, linting, CDC checks, and synthesis (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor).
• Ability to work in a collaborative, cross-functional engineering environment.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills.

Bonus Points

• Experience with RISC-V or ARM-based processors.
• Exposure to low-power design methodologies and power intent checks (UPF/CPF).
• Familiarity with formal verification tools (e.g., LEC).
• Knowledge of Image Signal Processing (ISP), DSP, or Multimedia pipeline design.
• Experience with FPGA prototyping, emulation, or post-silicon debug.
• Scripting knowledge (Perl, TCL, Python) for design automation.
• Strong documentation skills and ability to create unit-level test plans.

Why Join 10xEngineers?

• Work on world-class semiconductor projects with international clients.
• Grow your expertise in RISC-V, ISP, and advanced SoC design.
• Learn from engineers with top semiconductor industry backgrounds.
• Be part of a culture that values technical excellence and continuous learning.
