About the role

Senior Circuit Methodology Engineer responsible for infrastructure support for circuit design and methodology, owning and evolving compute/GPU infrastructure, and enabling scalable design and verification flows across farm and IT teams.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain circuit design and verification flows that run on large-scale compute and GPU farms across geographies via various job schedulers.
  • Proactively monitor farm health and job behavior, identify bottlenecks, and implement solutions to improve throughput, utilization, and turnaround time.
  • Bring up and release new compute and GPU infrastructure for team use.
  • Evaluate and qualify new compute and GPU resources, schedulers, and related EDA infrastructure components.
  • Build automation and tooling to streamline flow setup, job submission, resource allocation, logging, and reporting.
  • Track measurements (utilization, queue times, failure rates) and lead ongoing improvement projects for farm efficiency and cost effectiveness.
  • Provide user support for debug flow, infrastructure, and job-scheduling issues; root-cause failures; and implement permanent fixes.
  • Develop and maintain documentation, training materials, and best-practice guidelines for users of the circuit design compute and GPU environment.
  • Proactively contribute information to in-house AI systems to provide first-pass user assistance.

Qualifications

  • BSEE, BSCE or equivalent experience.
  • Mid-level programming skill (primarily Python and Perl).
  • 8+ years of experience related to circuit design methodology using Cadence/Synopsys-based systems (Virtuoso/Custom Compiler). Design experience a plus.
  • Experience with job schedulers/compute farms, primarily LSF and Slurm.
  • Proven ability to debug complex multi-layer issues across flows, scripts, tools, and infrastructure.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to partner with diverse engineering teams.
  • Exposure to circuit design workloads beneficial.
