SiemensJob Title
Software Engineer – C++ / Digital Logic Design
Role Summary
Develop compiler software for Siemens EDA's Hardware Assisted Verification (HAV) emulators that translate high-level circuit designs into binaries for emulation hardware. Focus areas include analysis, partitioning, placement, and logic synthesis to map customer designs onto emulator resources.
Hybrid role based in Burlington, MA; work involves C++ development on Linux, writing system-level tests and simulations, and collaborating with software and hardware teams across international sites.
Experience Level
Entry-level — 0 to 3 years of professional software development experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include development and enhancement of the compiler analysis and mapping components, testing, and cross-team collaboration.
- Design and implement algorithms for clock and data network analysis, partitioning, placement, and logic synthesis to support emulator mapping.
- Implement and maintain C++ components targeting Linux environments.
- Develop and run system-level tests using software simulation and other testing methods.
- Collaborate with other software teams and Veloce hardware teams across multiple sites.
- Support, debug, and extend existing compiler functionality and add new features.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills. Preferred qualifications listed separately.
- Experience developing large C++ applications as part of a team.
- Strong algorithm and data-structure design skills.
- Understanding of gate-level digital logic design.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience in EDA areas such as timing analysis, synthesis, partitioning, or placement.
- Familiarity with Unix/Linux development environments.
- Experience with hardware description languages (Verilog/VHDL) and simulation tools (e.g., ModelSim).
- Scripting experience (Python, shell).
- Experience with software testing methodologies.
Education Requirements
BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or Computer Engineering.
