○ AMS: Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Synopsys Custom Compiler

● Proficiency in scripting languages (TCL, Python, Perl, Shell) for automation.

● Experience with revision control systems (Git, Perforce) and design data management tools.

● Strong problem-solving and debugging skills for EDA environments.

Preferred Qualifications

● Experience with cloud-based EDA tool deployment (AWS, Azure, GCP).

● Familiarity with high-performance compute clusters (HPC) and job scheduling systems (LSF, Slurm).

● Exposure to chiplet-based and 3D IC flows.

● Understanding of design methodologies for advanced process nodes (7nm, 5nm, 3nm).

● Prior work in supporting multi-site or offshore design teams.

What We Offer

● Opportunity to support high-impact semiconductor products.

● Work with advanced process nodes and world-class design teams.

● Access to cutting-edge EDA tools and computing infrastructure.
