Semiconductor Software Engineer

Job Title

Semiconductor Software Engineer

Role Summary

Design and implement software tooling, firmware, and infrastructure to support semiconductor design, verification, manufacturing, and post-silicon validation. Work closely with hardware engineers and EDA teams to accelerate silicon development cycles and improve yield, performance, and quality.

Experience Level

Mid-level — 6+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time in semiconductor environments.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Design and build software tooling, firmware, and infrastructure for design, verification, manufacturing, and post-silicon validation.
• Collaborate with hardware and EDA teams to integrate tools into verification and post-silicon workflows.
• Develop and maintain large-scale compute infrastructure (grid, cloud, HPC) and automation for EDA workloads.
• Implement and operate data pipelines for design and characterization data; automate collection and analysis.
• Troubleshoot and debug complex low-level hardware-software interactions; improve reliability and performance.
• Participate in code and design reviews, produce documentation, and mentor junior engineers.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• 6+ years software engineering experience in semiconductor or closely related environments.
• Strong programming skills in C, C++, and Python.
• Hands-on experience with EDA, verification, or post-silicon validation workflows.
• Solid understanding of low-level hardware-software interaction and excellent debugging skills.
• Experience building or operating large-scale compute infrastructure (cloud, grid, HPC).
• Strong scripting and automation skills and experience with data pipelines for design/characterization data.
• Clear communication and documentation skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Exposure to SystemVerilog or other HDLs and familiarity with UVM-based verification workflows.
• Experience with cloud-based EDA workflows and applying ML to silicon design.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field is required. Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field is listed as preferred.
