Senior Software R&D Engineer, VLSI Physical Design

Responsibilities

• Implement, enhance, optimize, and deploy new tools for chip level placement, reshaping and route optimization.
• Create innovative algorithms for computational geometry, placement, fast routing etc. to efficiently arrange the blocks in a chip.
• Develop and implement new machine learning strategies to improve efficiency of design space exploration.
• Improve designer insight, debugging and visualization by extending GUIs built.
• While we do write a lot of C++ code, our role goes beyond typical CAD or EDA positions. This team is responsible for the entire process, from finding and creating new optimization opportunities to developing solutions and working closely with design teams to make them happen.
• What We Need To See
• BS, MS, PhD or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science
• Strength in both CAD software and VLSI hardware design
• 6+ years experience in software development with C++
• Good understanding of computational geometry, placement, routing and graph theory
