TeracSoftware EngineeringSpecial ReferralHardware Engineers: RTL Implementation and Evaluation Workflows
Remote — United States
About the role
What We're Researching: We're running a paid study on modern hardware description workflows and RTL implementation. Our goal is to understand how engineers approach automated evaluation and design verification in complex systems. This research feeds directly into improving tooling and methodologies for hardware development.
How It Works: You will participate in a remote interview to walk us through your typical hardware design process. We will ask you to review specific RTL implementation scenarios and discuss your approach to automated evaluation. You will share your screen to demonstrate how you handle hardware description workflows in practice. The session concludes with a discussion on the challenges you face with current verification tools.
Who This Is For: We are looking for experienced hardware engineers who specialize in RTL design and implementation. We welcome ASIC designers, FPGA engineers, hardware verification specialists, and system-on-chip (SoC) architects. You should have hands-on experience with hardware description languages and automated evaluation frameworks.
Scope of Work
- Walk us through your approach to RTL implementation and hardware description
- Review and react to specific automated evaluation scenarios
- Describe a recent time you tackled a complex hardware verification challenge
- Provide feedback on current workflows and tooling gaps
What you’ll bring
- Professional experience in hardware engineering or RTL design
- Hands-on background with hardware description languages (Verilog, VHDL, or SystemVerilog)
- Familiarity with automated evaluation and verification workflows
- Comfortable discussing technical design choices in a remote interview
- Aged 18 or older and located in the United States (per Terac's referral listing).
