TL;DR · Senior CAD Automation and Mixed-Signal Simulation Engineer

The Senior CAD Automation and Mixed-Signal Simulation Engineer joins the CAD team to own and drive the AMS simulation methodology for analog, RF, interconnect, PMIC, and memory design teams. This role involves architecting and evolving simulation methodologies, tooling strategies, and CAD automations across multiple technology nodes. Key responsibilities include leading small software development teams to deliver complex CAD applications, mentoring engineers, and managing strategic relationships with third-party EDA tool vendors. The position requires deep expertise in mixed-signal co-simulation, including discipline resolution, real number modeling, and wreal. Candidates must be proficient in Python, Perl, C/C++, or TCL, and possess experience with tools like Cadence, Synopsys, or Siemens. The work focuses on bridging analog and digital domains to ensure functional silicon and validated IP for processors.

What you'll do

  • Own and define the roadmap for mixed-signal simulation methodology across multiple technology nodes.
  • Serve as the primary technical authority for circuit design teams regarding functional behavior and performance verification.
  • Lead the architecture and organization-wide adoption of novel CAD automations.
  • Manage strategic relationships with third-party EDA tool vendors to define requirements and drive tool improvements.
  • Define strategies for bridging analog and digital domains and establishing cross-team best practices.
  • Architect durable solutions to mitigate systemic risks in simulation and modeling methodologies.
  • Lead small software development teams in the design and delivery of complex CAD applications.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers to elevate team capability and engineering excellence.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of relevant AMS (Analog Mixed-Signal) industry experience.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, Perl, C/C++, or TCL programming.
  • Deep, hands-on experience with mixed-signal co-simulation tools and methodologies.
  • Expert-level experience with industry-standard AMS tools including Cadence, Synopsys, or Siemens (preferred).
  • Deep knowledge of analog simulation tools such as Cadence Spectre, Synopsys PrimeSim/HSPICE/Finesim, or Siemens AFS (preferred).
  • Proficiency with behavioral and functional circuit description languages including SystemVerilog, VerilogA, Verilog, Verilog-AMS, and VHDL (preferred).
  • Demonstrated experience leading small software development teams to design and deliver novel, complex CAD applications (preferred).
