Software Engineer - C++ / Compiler (Digital Logic Design)

Job Title

Software Engineer - C++ / Compiler (Digital Logic Design)

Role Summary

Work on the Hardware Assisted Verification (HAV) team developing compiler software that maps System-on-Chip designs to emulator hardware. Primary tasks include analysis, partitioning, placement and synthesis to enable loading designs onto Siemens EDA emulation systems.

Development is primarily in C++ on Linux; the role involves cross-team collaboration with software and hardware engineers in a multi-site environment. Candidates must be able to work on-site from the Burlington, MA office (hybrid).

Experience Level

Entry-level - 0 to 3 years of industry software development experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Design and implement compiler components that analyze and map customer designs to emulator resources.
• Analyze clock and data networks; perform partitioning, placement, and logic synthesis for emulation mapping.
• Develop and maintain C++ code on Linux for production compiler features.
• Create and run system-level tests using software simulation; develop new testing methods.
• Collaborate with other software teams and Veloce hardware teams across sites.
• Support and improve existing functionality and performance of the compiler.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred skills.

• Must-have: 0–3 years experience developing large C++ applications as part of a team.
• Must-have: Strong algorithm and data structure design skills.
• Must-have: Understanding of gate-level digital logic design.
• Able to work both collaboratively in teams and independently.
• Familiarity with Unix/Linux development environments.
• Employment subject to U.S. export control (ITAR/EAR); must be a U.S. Person or obtain required export license.
• Nice-to-have: Experience in EDA domains (timing analysis, synthesis, partitioning, placement), hardware description languages (Verilog/VHDL), software simulation tools, and scripting (Python, shell).

Education Requirements

BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or Computer Engineering.
