EDA / CAD Engineer

Support IC design and IT leadership with multiple tool and infrastructure upgrades

Manage several repositories of PDKs, IPs, and multiple tools from multiple vendors

Advise design IT leadership with methodology enhancements and future planning

Keep up with advancements in industry tools that are relevant to our goals

Where necessary or advantageous, develop custom tools/scripts/plug-ins that are easily adopted by users

Deep understanding of the Cadence tool flow is required

Analog / Mixed-signal design tools (Virtuoso, AMS, Spectre)

Layout/signoff (PVS/Pegasus, Calibre)

Synthesis/APR/Physical design (Genus, Innovus / DDI)

Revision control experience and methodology recommendations (perforce/versIC)

Internal and external IP management

Supporting multiple PDKs simultaneously

Familiarity with TSMC and GF preferred

Scripting & automation: Python, Perl, Tcl, Bash/Shell, SKILL; automating EDA flows, tool setup, regression runs, log parsing, environment configuration, and design-data processing.

License management: FlexNet/FlexLM administration and troubleshooting, including license-server configuration, lmstat/lmutil diagnostics, feature availability, checkout failures, queueing, utilization monitoring, and vendor-daemon issues.

EDA infrastructure support: Linux/Unix environment troubleshooting, LSF/Slurm/Grid Engine compute-farm integration, environment modules, tool-version management, and debugging interactions between EDA applications, compute infrastructure, and license servers.

CAD flow development: Development and support of scripted flows integrating tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Xcelium, Synopsys, or Siemens EDA with internal automation, regression, and verification infrastructure.

Demonstrated history of solving problems for EDA users

Nice-to-haves:

Remote computing support experience (ETX)

Experience supporting engineering across multiple international locations

Some degree of sysadmin ability

Build systems: Make/GNU Make, CMake, custom Makefile-based flows; maintaining build dependencies, environment setup, and reproducible EDA/CAD workflows.

CI/CD & regression infrastructure: Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions; developing and supporting automated regression, validation, build, and deployment pipelines for EDA tools and design flows.
