CAD and Integration Engineer, Silicon

Job Title

CAD and Integration Engineer, Silicon

Role Summary

Join the custom silicon team to translate circuit intent into physical constraints and deliver foundry-ready silicon. Work closely with circuit designers, digital designers, layout engineers, and foundry contacts to drive synthesis, place-and-route, signoff, and 3D stacking flows.

The role includes developing automation tools and using AI-assisted design to improve CAD flows and engineering velocity.

Experience Level

Senior — the role expects experienced candidates; the posting specifies 12+ years of industry experience.

Responsibilities

Key day-to-day responsibilities include implementation, integration, and automation across analog and digital domains.

• Integrate AI/LLM tools into CAD workflows to automate tasks and improve productivity.
• Lead analog/mixed-signal physical integration and enforce design constraints with circuit and layout teams.
• Manage end-to-end digital implementation (RTL-to-GDS): synthesis, place-and-route, DFT insertion, and signoff.
• Drive physical signoff activities (timing, power, verification) to produce foundry-ready deliverables.
• Develop 3D stacking flows for heterogeneous integration, including die-to-die interface planning and cross-die timing/power analysis.
• Automate implementation, tapeout, and regression using Python, SKILL, and Tcl.
• Communicate technical decisions and project status with cross-functional partners and foundry contacts.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items listed separately.

• Proven industry experience in analog CAD/automation across multiple technology nodes and tapeouts.
• Expertise in full RTL-to-GDS flow, digital synthesis, place-and-route, DFT insertion, and physical signoff.
• Proficiency with analog/mixed-signal design environments and simulation tools.
• Knowledge of PDKs and SPICE model qualification procedures.
• Strong programming and automation skills (SKILL, Python, Perl or similar).
• Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants in engineering workflows.
• Proven ability to work with circuit designers, layout engineers, and foundry teams on technical issues.
• Nice-to-have: advanced packaging experience, hierarchical chip integration for large SoCs, low-power design (multi-voltage, UPF), and direct foundry engagement on PDK and DRC/qualification.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a relevant technical field, or BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related field. The posting also accepts equivalent practical experience; the role as listed expects significant industry experience (12+ years).
