Job Title

Senior/Staff CAD Engineer, Electronic Design - Munich (m/f/d)

Role Summary

Development and production-support role focused on semiconductor EDA design flows and tools. The role evaluates, develops, improves, and debugs in-house and commercial EDA tools and flows used for CMOS circuit design, physical layout, and verification.

Base salary range: 79,000 2156,000 per year. Role is based at Micron's Munich site and partners closely with design and process teams to deliver CAD toolchains and automation.

Experience Level

Senior-level (Staff). The posting does not specify explicit years of experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include leading CAD development and supporting production design flows:

• Act as subject-matter expert in CAD/EDA toolchains and workflows.
• Define, lead, and deliver large CAD projects and tool integrations.
• Guide and implement ML/AI techniques in CAD flows to improve automation and analysis.
• Develop, test, and maintain CAD software, scripts, and flow infrastructure.
• Assess architecture and hardware limitations and design scalable solutions.
• Provide documentation, training, and end-user support for new tools and methods.
• Collaborate closely with circuit designers, verification, and process engineers.
• Debug production issues and support RTL-to-GDS and verification workflows.

Requirements

Core technical requirements and preferred skills. Education items are listed separately under Education Requirements.

Must-have:

• Proven expertise with IC design CAD tools: schematics, layout, simulation, and verification tools.
• Strong programming fundamentals and software engineering practices.
• Experience with EDA flows for analog/digital verification, parasitic extraction, and design DB/versioning systems.
• Familiarity with Unix environments and shell scripting.

Nice-to-have / Preferred:

• In-depth experience with SKILL and Python; recent experience in C/C++, Visual Basic, Perl, or Lisp also considered.
• Experience with RTL2GDS flows and commercial tools (e.g., Fusion Compiler, Innovus, PrimeTime, Formality, RedHawk-SC, SpyGlass).
• Experience applying AI/LLM or agentic AI techniques to CAD problems.
• Exposure to CMOS circuit design tradeoffs (area, speed, power).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree required; Master's or PhD preferred in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related technical field. The posting also references relevant coursework or practical experience in VLSI circuit design and software.
