- Build and integrate autonomous agents into core design and verification workflows.
- Build Agentic frameworks and Agents to improve Engineering productivity.
- Deploy and operationalize Synopsys' global Agentic AI platform into the SLM IP development loop.
- Build orchestration layers connecting LLMs, agents, and EDA toolchains.
- Design multi-agent workflows to automate IP design tasks, verification loops, and lifecycle analytics.
- Partner with IP design teams, CAD engineers, and global AI platform teams.
- Build and maintain the infrastructure layer connecting silicon design phases with AI-driven automation.
- Prototype, test, and validate new AI-CAD integrations in live development environments.
- Drive technical strategy and roadmap for AI-augmented CAD systems within SLM.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to the team.
Requirements
- Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, VLSI, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- 12+ years of hands-on experience developing and deploying advanced CAD flows and infrastructure in silicon design environments.
- Proven experience implementing Agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI), LLM orchestrations, or autonomous software agent systems in production.
- Mastery of Python and C++ for building production-grade infrastructure.
- Strong proficiency in EDA scripting languages like Tcl, Perl, and Shell.
- Track record of building agents and orchestration layers that interact with design, verification, synthesis, PnR, and timing flows.
Desired Qualifications
- Technical understanding of silicon design phases, particularly IP development, verification, and lifecycle management workflows.
- Experience with Silicon Lifecycle Management concepts such as in-chip sensing, telemetry, and analytics.
- Ability to prototype fast and iterate based on real feedback.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity, especially when integrating cutting-edge AI technologies into established silicon development environments.
- Systems thinking approach to understanding CAD flow ripple effects.
- Ability to ask the right questions, align stakeholders, and find a path forward without perfect documentation.
Benefits
- Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits.
- Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings.
