Digital EDA / CAD Engineer

Digital EDA / CAD Engineer

We are a team of passionate, accomplished professionals working in the semiconductor industry. As an innovative leader in high-speed and energy-efficient chip-to-chip link solutions, we continuously advance technologies that meet the needs of both current and future electronic systems. If you thrive in a high-tech scale-up environment and are motivated by pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo, this role may be a strong fit.
We are seeking a Digital EDA/CAD Engineer, based in a hybrid working model.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute as part of a responsive team to define and implement IC design tools, flows, and methodologies.
• Lead and support tool evaluation, selection, consensus-building, deployment, and flow development.
• Deliver training to engineering design teams.
• Collaborate with EDA/CAD vendors to resolve tool issues and support design teams in achieving timely, practical solutions.
• Contribute to company-wide alignment on design tools, flows, and methodologies.

Skills

• Excellent programming skills in Shell, Python, Perl, Tcl, SKILL; experience with GUI development and Make-based automation.
• Deep understanding of the chip-design process and digital, analog, and mixed-signal IC design flows.
• Proficiency in building robust EDA/CAD flows while balancing technical and stakeholder requirements.
• (Preferred) Some RTL coding experience; basic knowledge of SystemVerilog and VHDL.
• Ability to quickly learn, maintain, and enhance complex software design tools.
• Strong collaboration skills across EDA/CAD and engineering teams.
• Skilled at debugging issues, documenting solutions/flows, and creating clear user guides.

Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
• 7+ years of experience across front-end and back-end digital design flows (e.g., netlist generation, simulation, synthesis, place & route, parasitic extraction, STA, EM/IR analysis, physical verification, DFT, ATPG).
• Experience with power-integrity analysis tools (e.g., Voltus or equivalent) and on-die IR-drop and electromigration analysis.
• Hands-on experience with industry-standard EDA tools, methodologies, licensing, and release processes.
• Proven track record developing code to create or improve automation tools for design engineers.
• Working knowledge of software development methods, system architecture, and operating systems.
• Strong data-management experience (e.g., Git, Cliosoft) for multi-project / multi-discipline flows and database tagging.
• Experience implementing and following processes required for quality certification.
