TL;DR · Hardware Developer, EDA

The Hardware Developer - Z, EDA joins the team to customize Cadence graphical user interfaces using the Cadence SKILL programming language. This role involves leading a team to analyze, maintain, and enhance EDA software toolkits while developing VLSI design tools for hierarchical integration, floor planning, and power optimization. Key responsibilities include conducting EDA analysis for large scale SoC designs, including noise evaluation, timing analysis, and power integrity assessments. The position requires applying VLSI verification methodologies such as SystemVerilog and UVM, along with Tcl, LEX, and YACC programming. Candidates will also utilize hardware description languages like Verilog and VHDL and implement AI, machine learning, and large language model techniques to improve EDA-specific workflows and ensure reliable chip functionality under various voltage and temperature conditions.

What you'll do

  • Customize Cadence graphical user interfaces using the Cadence SKILL programming language.
  • Apply SystemVerilog and UVM methodologies to validate chip functionality and perform functional coverage analysis.
  • Conduct EDA analysis for large scale SoC designs including noise, timing, power integrity, and electromigration.
  • Manage timing constraints and define mitigation strategies through design optimization and Tcl-based tool enhancements.
  • Develop VLSI design tools for hierarchical integration, floor planning, and power optimization.
  • Maintain and enhance complex EDA codebases for power analysis and power grid analysis.
  • Lead a team to analyze, maintain, and enhance EDA software toolkits.
  • Apply AI, machine learning, and large language model techniques to EDA specific workflows.

What we're looking for

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience in lieu of a Master's degree.
  • One year of experience as an Engineer or in a related role.
  • One year of experience utilizing EDA methodologies including Tcl, LEX, and YACC.
  • One year of experience in Cadence SKILL language development.
  • One year of experience with VLSI verification methodologies using SystemVerilog and Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).
  • One year of experience with hardware description languages such as Verilog and VHDL.
  • One year of experience in EDA software tool development and EDA-focused AI development.
