About the role
Lead CAD and integration engineer to shape methodology and physical implementation infrastructure for custom silicon programs, defining CAD flows from RTL/schematic to foundry-ready GDS, establishing best practices across synthesis, place-and-route, analog mixed-signal integration, and physical signoff, while building automation frameworks and integrating AI-assisted design tools to accelerate silicon velocity.
Responsibilities
- Define and own end-to-end digital implementation methodology including RTL-to-GDS flows, synthesis, place-and-route, DFT insertion, and multi-corner physical signoff
- Lead analog mixed-signal physical integration strategy, establishing constraint authoring, floorplanning guidelines, and interface protocols between custom and digital domains
- Develop and maintain CAD automation infrastructure using Python, SKILL, and Tcl to reduce manual effort across implementation, tapeout, and regression workflows
- Integrate AI and LLM-assisted coding tools into CAD methodology to improve design automation productivity across the silicon engineering organization
- Drive physical signoff convergence across timing, power, noise, and design rule checks to produce foundry-ready deliverables on schedule
- Establish 3D integration and heterogeneous packaging flows including die-to-die interface planning, cross-die timing closure, and bump/interposer constraint management
- Partner with foundry contacts on PDK qualification, design rule interpretation, and process design kit updates for leading-edge technology nodes
- Define low-power implementation methodology including multi-voltage domain integration, UPF-based power intent authoring, and power analysis signoff
- Provide technical direction to other engineers on CAD methodology decisions, flow architecture, and implementation best practices across multiple concurrent tapeout programs
- Communicate implementation status, methodology decisions, and risk assessments to circuit designers, layout engineers, and program leadership
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- 8+ years of industry experience in VLSI CAD, physical implementation, or silicon design methodology across multiple technology nodes and tapeouts
- Expertise in full RTL-to-GDS digital implementation flows including synthesis, place-and-route, DFT, and multi-corner physical signoff using industry-standard EDA tools
- Experience with analog mixed-signal physical integration including constraint authoring, floorplan coordination, and interface management between custom and digital design domains
- Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, SKILL, Tcl, or equivalent languages to build and maintain CAD flow infrastructure
- Experience communicating methodology decisions, tapeout risk, and implementation status to cross-functional partners including circuit designers, layout engineers, and foundry contacts
