Staff Engineer, CE CAD

Job Title

Staff Engineer, CE CAD

Role Summary

Experienced EDA/CAD engineer role focused on developing AI-assisted workflows and automation for custom memory IC design. The role partners with design, layout, verification, and CAD teams to deliver tools and integrations that improve productivity, quality, and cycle time.

Experience Level

Senior-level; 5+ years of relevant experience recommended. Principal-level consideration requires significantly more experience and broader technical leadership and impact.

Responsibilities

Deliver software, automation, and AI-enabled solutions that improve IC design workflows and engineering productivity.

• Design, develop, and deploy software, automation, and AI-assisted solutions across layout, verification, simulation, and tape-out activities.
• Develop and enhance AI-assisted tools, agents, and automation to improve design team efficiency.
• Collaborate with worldwide design, layout, verification, and CAD teams to identify high-impact use cases for automation and AI enablement.
• Build and maintain CAD tools, workflow integrations, and supporting technical content for design teams.
• Support evaluation, qualification, deployment, and integration of EDA tools and AI-enhanced workflows.
• Explore and apply generative AI and machine learning techniques to practical custom IC design challenges.
• Contribute to scalable software development practices, including code quality, testing, maintainability, and documentation.

Requirements

Must-have:

• 5+ years of relevant experience for senior-level consideration; more for principal-level roles.
• Hands-on experience applying AI/ML, large language models (LLMs), or advanced automation to real engineering problems.
• Strong programming skills in Python and experience developing maintainable technical software or automation solutions.
• Familiarity with LLMs, prompt engineering, AI-assisted workflows, and agent-based automation concepts.
• Knowledge of CMOS design, custom layout, circuit verification, and semiconductor design fundamentals.
• Experience with software development best practices: testing, code quality, maintainability, and documentation.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with custom memory design (DDR, LPDDR, HBM, NAND) and physical verification flows (Calibre DRC, LVS, LPE).
• Experience with Cadence Virtuoso, SKILL programming, parameterized cells, or custom design environments.
• Experience with circuit simulation tools (HSPICE, Spectre) and familiarity with digital verification concepts.
• Experience building developer tools, CLI utilities, workflow integrations, or plugin-based tooling; familiarity with ML frameworks such as PyTorch or scikit-learn.
• Experience integrating LLM APIs or related AI capabilities into engineering tools and working in Linux-based development environments.

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
