The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science or a related field with 5+ years of software development experience in automation or engineering domains.
Responsibilities
- Design and build software tools that automate repetitive engineering tasks and improve productivity across VLSI, EDA, and physical design workflows
- Develop AI-assisted solutions and agent-based systems that integrate into existing development environments
- Evaluate emerging AI technologies, LLMs, and automation frameworks, then prototype and deploy the ones that solve real problems for internal engineering teams
- Partner with CAD, physical design, and verification engineers to understand workflow pain points and translate those into scalable software solutions
- Build and maintain APIs, services, and workflow orchestration systems that connect tools, data sources, and automation layers
- Create proof-of-concepts and production-quality applications that move from idea to deployment, then iterate based on actual usage
Requirements
- Bachelor's or master's in computer science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of software development experience in automation, CAD, EDA, or related engineering domains
- Strong programming skills with the ability to design and build scalable, maintainable software applications
- Solid grounding in software architecture, algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented design principles
- Hands-on experience with AI technologies such as Large Language Models, agent-based systems, or intelligent automation frameworks
- Experience designing and integrating APIs, services, and workflow automation solutions
- Familiarity with Linux development environments, version control systems like Git, and modern software development practices
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with semiconductor design, VLSI, physical design, or EDA workflows is a strong plus
- Self-motivated and resourceful, you identify gaps, prototype solutions, and iterate without needing direction at every step
- Curious about emerging technologies but pragmatic about when to use them, you evaluate new AI frameworks based on whether they solve real problems
- Comfortable working across disciplines, you translate between software engineers, CAD teams, and physical design experts without losing technical depth
- Adaptable and committed to continuous learning, you treat every deployment as a chance to gather feedback and build something better
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans
- ETO and FTO Programs
- Maternity and paternity leave, parenting resources, adoption and surrogacy assistance
