• RTL design for multi-threaded, low-power microprocessors
• Designing for synthesis targeted to achieve specified power, frequency, and area targets
• Functionality, performance & physical implementation tradeoffs
• Proficient in frontend logic design tools and flows for RTL development including LINT check, CDC analysis, and managing voltage / power domain interactions
• Proficient in backend logic design tools and flows including synthesis, place and route, timing closure, scan insertion, signal integrity checks, and ECO flows

Please consider me for the RTL design engineer opportunity. I am including my resume that lists my qualifications and experience.

In my previous role, I was responsible for technical guidance to engineering and cross-functional areas that use DA information that is integrated to the front end and back end (SAP) systems.

Please consider my qualifications and experience:

• Knowledge of multiple clock domain design concept
• Knowledge of the common high-speed SerDes protocols (e.g., PCIe, USB, SATA)
• Knowledge of formal verification methodologies including UVM/OVM and System Verilog assertions
• Knowledge of DFT
• Equivalence checking
• Clear history of task ownership and proactively address design/verification issues
• Proficiency in ASIC logics design
• SoC level power related design verification experience

I would like to submit my application for the RTL design engineer opening. Please accept this letter and the attached resume.

In the previous role, I was responsible for solutions to technical problems associated with mixed signal analog & digital telecommunications products.
