Roles and responsibilities:
Build, maintain, and optimize CAD tools infrastructure supporting both commercial and in-house layout and verification tools (Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys ICC, Mentor Calibre, etc.).
Develop and automate IC layout flows, including placement, routing, floorplanning, PCells, and tapeout preparation.
Apply advanced software engineering and CAD methodologies to address technical challenges, evaluate architectural and hardware constraints, and deliver scalable automation solutions.
Collaborate with layout, circuit, and verification teams to capture requirements and deploy efficient automation workflows.
Design and implement testing frameworks, regression suites, code review practices and CI/CD pipelines to validate CAD flows, ensure correctness, and improve reliability.
Define, document, and enforce best practices, standards, and procedures; provide technical guidance, training, and support to engineering teams.
B.Sc. in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or Practical Engineering (hands-on IC layout/CAD experience also considered).
13 years of relevant industry experience or 3+ years for more senior candidates both junior and experienced engineers will be considered.
Hands on experience with layout and verification tools, including both commercial (Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor) and in-house CAD solutions.
Strong programming skills in SKILL, Python, TCL, Perl, and Shell (Csh, Bash).
Ability to debug, optimize, and troubleshoot CAD flows and layout workflows.
Familiarity with regression testing, code review, flow validation, and CI/CD practices in CAD/EDA environments.
Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work independently in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
