As a software engineer on our team responsible for infrastructure tools used by design engineers, you will work closely with colleagues to develop reliable, scalable, and high-performance software that simplifies chip design and verification processes for hundreds of global users. Your daily tasks include crafting software tools in C++ or Golang to analyze and construct complex chip designs described in languages like Verilog or domain-specific languages (DSLs). You will also research and implement solutions to enhance efficiency across architecture, hardware, and software teams, optimizing the workflows of top-tier modelers and designers. To excel in this role, you need a strong background in C++ or Golang, Unix/Linux, algorithms, computer science theory, VLSI frontend design and verification, as well as experience with static and dynamic code analysis tools, making significant contributions to our cutting-edge chip development processes.
