We're looking for an experienced CAD Engineer to develop, enhance, and support advanced EDA environments and design automation flows for next-generation semiconductor development. In this role, you will serve as the technical bridge between Analog/AMS and Digital/ASIC Verification teams, ensuring smooth integration from schematic capture through signoff. You will own PDK integration, flow automation, compute resource optimization, and mixed-signal verification infrastructure, working closely with design engineers, IT teams, and EDA vendors to drive efficiency and silicon success.
Develop, maintain, and optimize CAD and EDA environments for Analog/AMS, ASIC, Photonics, and Systems teams to ensure seamless integration and productivity.
Define, implement, and automate design and signoff flows for custom and digital design environments.
Install, configure, and manage EDA tools (Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens) and FlexLM license servers.
Integrate and validate PDKs, technology files, and IP libraries, collaborating with foundries and third-party vendors.
Oversee SLURM cluster infrastructure, including job scheduling and resource allocation to improve throughput and ROI.
Develop automation scripts using Python, TCL, SKILL, and Bash to streamline CAD flows and minimize manual effort.
Manage design repositories (Git, IC Manage) and enforce best practices for version control and configuration management.
Troubleshoot and optimize SPICE, DRC/LVS, PEX, and EMIR issues, supporting design teams for higher performance and reliability.
Monitor license utilization and compute resource metrics, recommending strategies for cost-effective scalability.
Collaborate with EDA vendors to resolve tool issues, influence feature development, and assess new technologies.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science.
10+ years of hands-on experience in CAD/EDA design automation, supporting analog/AMS and digital verification environments.
Strong expertise with Cadence Virtuoso, ADE Assembler/Explorer, and Spectre simulation environments.
Experience with signoff tools such as Pegasus, Quantus, and VoltusFI (or equivalent Calibre suites).
Proficiency in SKILL and Python scripting for design automation and productivity improvements.
Experience managing FlexLM license servers, including installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
Hands-on experience with PDK integration for advanced FinFET nodes (e.g., TSMC N5).
Proficiency with version control systems such as Git or IC Manage (gdpxl).
Experience with Virtuoso AMS Designer and Cadence Xcelium for mixed-signal simulation and behavioral modeling.
Familiarity with SLURM cluster management and high-performance computing environments.
Understanding of Digital RTL-to-GDSII flows, including synthesis, P&R, STA, and PV.
Exposure to CI/CD pipelines for CAD flow release automation and regression testing.
Strong written and verbal communication skills with proven ability to mentor junior engineers.
