TL;DR · CAD Engineer, Signoff Infrastructure

The CAD Engineer - Signoff Infrastructure joins the Hardware Tech group to develop full-stack web applications powering signoff infrastructure across all SOC design groups. This role focuses on building and enhancing signoff dashboards, CAD flow metrics collection, and data visualization tools used during the critical final verification stage of chip design where designs are validated against manufacturing, timing, and power criteria before tapeout. The engineer will build backend services, APIs, and interactive frontends while integrating RAG capabilities and AI-powered features into the platform. Key technologies include Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and web frameworks like Angular, React, or Express.js. Additionally, the role requires experience with SQL databases like MySQL or PostgreSQL, version control, CI/CD, and potentially Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana, and vector databases to manage enterprise-scale design data and improve how teams interact with signoff information.

What you'll do

  • Develop full-stack web applications to power the Signoff infrastructure for SOC design groups.
  • Build and enhance interactive dashboards for CAD flow metrics collection and data visualization.
  • Develop backend services and APIs using Python and JavaScript/TypeScript.
  • Manage and query enterprise-scale design data using SQL databases like MySQL or PostgreSQL.
  • Integrate RAG capabilities and AI-powered features into the Signoff platform.
  • Develop a Signoff AI assistant to improve how teams interact with signoff data.
  • Maintain infrastructure tools used for manufacturing, timing, and power verification before tapeout.

What we're looking for

  • Proficiency in Python or JavaScript/TypeScript.
  • Experience with web development frameworks and libraries such as Angular, React, or Express.js.
  • Experience with SQL databases including MySQL or PostgreSQL.
  • Understanding of software engineering best practices like version control, testing, and CI/CD.
  • BS in Computer Science or a related field.
  • 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Background in Chip Design, Chip Verification, or CAD (preferred).
  • Experience with LLM integration, RAG pipelines, vector databases, containers, Kubernetes, or monitoring tools (preferred).
