CAD Engineer

We are looking for self-sufficient full-time software engineers with a strong desire to build high-quality, long-lasting workflows. The VLSI Productivity and Infrastructure team supports hundreds of chip design engineers by building internal tools and platforms that supercharge their everyday work. From build automation to machine learning, databases to web applications, and on-prem compute to cloud workloads, this team handles it all!

Although every member of our team is multi-faceted, the focus for this role is on automating workflows for user-friendliness, maintainability, and extensibility. You will work closely with chip designers to thoroughly understand their daily work and help standardize, automate and improve their process, which will then be deployed using our custom build system. You won't be designing chips or running hardware flows (except to test your automation). On a typical day, you might work with both legacy and new systems in Perl, Python, and Make, using Perforce and GitLab to deploy your work. You should also be proactive in improving our own team's productivity, championing software development best-practices, and sharing that knowledge with the larger team. If you embrace abstraction and have an intuition for decomposing ambiguous, highly coupled systems, we believe you will fit right in.

What You Will Be Doing

• Responsible for current and next-generation workflow automation for VLSI chip engineers.
• Design, develop, deploy, and improve highly scalable, long shelf-life workflows and automation platforms for compute and memory-heavy workloads.
• Deconstruct user workflows into actionable tasks and plan a pathway to automation.
