Software Engineer – C++ / Compiler

Job Title

Software Engineer – C++ / Compiler

Role Summary

Siemens EDA seeks a software engineer to develop compiler components for its Hardware Assisted Verification (HAV) emulator products. The role focuses on analysis and mapping of customer System-on-Chip designs onto emulator resources and the implementation of compiler features to support that mapping.

The position is on the emulator compiler team, works primarily in C++ on Linux, and requires collaboration with software and hardware teams across international sites. Onsite work at the Waltham, MA office is required.

Experience Level

Entry-level / Early career — 0 to 3 years of industry software development experience building large C++ applications.

Responsibilities

The engineer will design, implement, and maintain compiler functionality that analyzes customer designs and maps them to emulator hardware. Key responsibilities include:

• Analyze clock and data networks, partitioning, placement and logic synthesis to support mapping of designs onto emulator resources.
• Design and implement new compiler features and improve existing functionality.
• Develop and maintain system-level tests and software simulation-based test methods.
• Collaborate with other software teams and Veloce hardware teams across multiple sites.
• Write production-quality C++ code and work primarily on Linux development environments.
• Work onsite at the Waltham, MA facilities; remote work is not permitted for this role.

Requirements

Required and preferred qualifications for successful candidates.

• Must-have: 0–3 years 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.
• Must-have: Ability to work onsite at Waltham, MA.
• Desirable: Experience with EDA software (timing analysis, synthesis, partitioning, placement).
• Desirable: Familiarity with Unix/Linux development environments and software testing methods.
• Desirable: Experience with hardware description languages (Verilog/VHDL) and simulation tools (e.g., ModelSim).
• Desirable: Scripting experience (Python, shell).
• This position is subject to U.S. export control requirements (ITAR/EAR); employment is contingent on verifying U.S. Person status or obtaining any required export authorization.

Education Requirements

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