Responsibilities

  • Support IC design and IT leadership with EDA tool upgrades, infrastructure improvements, and methodology enhancements across analog, mixed-signal design, layout and verification, and digital design and verification environments.
  • Manage repositories for PDKs, internal and external IP, design data, and tools from multiple vendors, ensuring configuration control, reliability, and ease of adoption for engineering users.
  • Advise design and IT leadership on future planning, EDA methodology improvements, design environment scalability, and infrastructure investments that support rapid growth.
  • Develop, deploy, and maintain custom tools, scripts, automation, and plug-ins that improve designer productivity and are easily adopted across teams.
  • Support CAD flows integrating tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Pegasus, Genus, Innovus, Xcelium, Synopsys IC compiler, Siemens EDA, Calibre and related verification and signoff infrastructure.
  • Maintain and troubleshoot EDA infrastructure, including Linux and Unix environments, compute-farm integration, environment modules, tool-version management, license servers, and interactions between EDA applications and engineering infrastructure.
  • Build and support automated regression, validation, build, and deployment pipelines for EDA tools, design flows, and CAD environments.
  • Stay current with advancements in EDA tools, CAD methodologies, license management, IP management, and design infrastructure relevant to Lumilens’ technical goals.
