#### Responsibilities:

* Design and integration of IPs in SoC based on high-level architectural specifications from customers.
* Perform Lint/CDC checks on the design for quality assurance and resolve related issues.
* Create synthesis constraints for the design at the IP and SoC level and perform basic synthesis for PPA (Power, Performance, Area) optimization.
* Create detailed Microarchitectural Specification documents for the design.
* Provide support to the verification team for test plan creation, coverage analysis, and feature debugging.
* Provide support to the physical design team as needed for design implementation.
* Implement innovative solutions to automate repetitive tasks.
* Collaborate within and across teams for effective project execution.
