Senior Software Engineer (Aprisa)
Role Summary
Join Siemens EDA's Aprisa team to develop AI-driven solutions that optimize Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) for semiconductor design flows. The role sits in R&D and focuses on integrating machine learning techniques into EDA tools and optimization frameworks.
Experience Level
Senior — the posting specifies a proven ~4 years of experience in EDA, semiconductor design, or optimization; title indicates senior-level responsibilities.
Responsibilities
Primary engineering and research responsibilities include designing AI models, integrating them into EDA tools, and evaluating their effectiveness against traditional methods.
- Design and develop machine learning models and algorithms to optimize PPA metrics in chip design.
- Integrate AI/ML solutions into existing EDA tools and optimization frameworks.
- Research and prototype advanced AI techniques applicable to semiconductor design optimization.
- Benchmark and analyze performance of AI-enabled optimizations versus conventional methods.
- Collaborate with design engineers, software developers, and data scientists across teams.
- Produce clear documentation and contribute to research publications or patents.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and domain experience required for immediate contribution.
- Proven experience in EDA, semiconductor design, or optimization (posting indicates ~4 years).
- Solid understanding of PPA optimization concepts and semiconductor design flows.
- Proficiency in Python and C++ (or similar languages) for algorithm and tool development.
- Familiarity with machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow or PyTorch.
- Ability to evaluate algorithm performance and perform benchmarking.
- Nice-to-have: experience applying AI/ML specifically in EDA, knowledge of optimization algorithms, familiarity with Siemens EDA tools, published research or patents, and large-scale data processing experience.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field is listed; a Master's degree is preferred. The posting also allows equivalent practical experience in relevant technical fields.
