EDA Engineer - Cadence Virtuoso

We are looking for a highly skilled EDA Engineer with expertise in Cadence Virtuoso environments and a strong understanding of OpenAccess databases, SKILL scripting, foundry PDK/CDK integration, and schematic/layout tool automation. In this role, you will collaborate closely with AI/EDA development teams to establish seamless design flows and efficient automation for our AI-powered analog design platform. Your responsibilities will include developing, maintaining, and optimizing analog/mixed-signal IC design flows in Cadence Virtuoso and related EDA tools. You will be tasked with creating, modifying, and optimizing SKILL scripts for automating layout, schematic, verification, and design environment tasks. Additionally, managing Component Description Format (CDF) parameters and configurations for foundry PDK and CDK components/libraries will be a crucial part of your role. You will work extensively with the OpenAccess (OA) database API to read, write, and manipulate design data using languages like C++, Python, and Tcl. Developing automation tools and workflows leveraging OpenAccess, integrating foundry PDK/CDK devices, and troubleshooting issues related to PDK integration will be key responsibilities. Moreover, documenting technical processes, creating reusable scripts, and collaborating with AI and software teams for continuous improvement are essential aspects of this role. The ideal candidate should have at least 3-8 years of hands-on experience with Cadence Virtuoso analog/mixed-signal design flows. Strong proficiency in SKILL scripting, experience with OpenAccess database API, and a deep understanding of foundry PDK/CDK structures are required. Knowledge of schematic editors/viewers, UNIX/Linux command-line skills, and experience with version control systems in EDA environments are also necessary. Preferred qualifications include previous work experience at Cadence or semiconductor companies specializing in Virtuoso toolchains, familiarity with Spectre, ADE simulation, and analog verification flows, as well as an understanding of semiconductor process technology and device physics applicable to analog/mixed-signal design. Experience with AI/ML integration in design tools would be a plus.
