Semiconductor Design Jobs in Israel

Israel is one of the world's leading hubs for semiconductor design, home to major chipmakers, R&D centres and a thriving startup scene. This page brings together the latest semiconductor design jobs in Israel, from ASIC, RTL and VLSI roles to physical design, verification and SoC architecture positions.

Finding semiconductor jobs at Israel's chip companies

Global semiconductor leaders such as Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Apple, Marvell and Analog Devices run large design centres in Israel, concentrated around Haifa, Tel Aviv, Herzliya and Yakum. These sites hire across the full chip design flow, so it pays to search by discipline — ASIC design, RTL design, verification, DFT or physical design — as well as by location. Setting up job alerts and tailoring your CV to the specific design tools and methodologies each employer uses will help you stand out.

Semiconductor startups and the Israeli chip ecosystem

Beyond the multinationals, Israel has a dense network of fabless startups working on AI accelerators, networking silicon, automotive chips and photonics. Startups often offer broader responsibilities and equity, and they value engineers who can move quickly across the design stack. When exploring startup roles, look at the company's funding stage, the seniority of its design team, and whether the position lets you own a block or subsystem end to end.

Design software and EDA jobs

Israel also offers strong opportunities in design software and EDA — the electronic design automation tools that power modern chip development. Companies like Synopsys, Cadence and Siemens EDA maintain a local presence, and many hardware teams hire software engineers to build internal flows, verification environments and CAD tooling. If you enjoy programming as much as hardware, roles combining C++, Python, Tcl and knowledge of the design flow can be an excellent fit.
