Developing and applying Agile software engineering methods, theories, and research techniques to solve complex technical problems within the ASIC design automation domain.
Planning, executing, and overseeing technical projects related to the architecture and development of advanced application software for design automation.
Defining and selecting innovative approaches for implementing software engineering applications and ASIC design specifications.
Preparing detailed design specifications, conducting comprehensive technical investigations, and presenting findings to stakeholders.
Collaborating closely with team members on task-oriented projects and cross-functional initiatives to accelerate design workflows.
Networking with senior internal and external experts to share knowledge and best practices in design automation and software development.
Mentoring and guiding junior peers, fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment that encourages continuous learning.

The Impact You Will Have:

Accelerating and automating design activities across R&D and circuit design teams, improving overall productivity and innovation velocity.
Enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of design communities through the deployment of advanced software tools and automation frameworks.
Driving innovation in chip design and verification by implementing state-of-the-art solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Contributing directly to the development and integration of high-performance silicon chips and software content used in leading-edge applications.
Facilitating seamless integration of IP across various projects, ensuring robust and scalable design automation tools are in place.
Enabling teams to deliver reliable, high-quality results by establishing best practices in design automation and software engineering.

What You’ll Need:

MS or PhD in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering with at least 10+ years of direct industry experience.
Expertise in programming languages such as Python, Perl, and TCL, with a demonstrated ability to develop robust automation solutions.
Hands-on experience with Custom Compiler/Virtuoso, circuit and layout automation.
Strong familiarity with test-driven development, unit testing, and functional testing methodologies.
Strong familiarity with version control systems especially with Git and Perforce.
Advanced proficiency in UNIX/Linux environments, with the ability to optimize workflows and troubleshoot complex issues.
Working knowledge of a major AI framework or demonstrated experience using AI to accelerate software development processes.

Who You Are:

A proactive learner with a keen interest in exploring new technologies and methodologies.
An excellent problem solver with strong analytical and investigative skills.
A collaborative team player who builds productive working relationships and communicates effectively.
A self-starter capable of executing projects from start to completion with minimal supervision.
A sophisticated professional with advanced knowledge and wide-ranging experience in design automation and software engineering.
