JOB DESCRIPTION

Day to Day: a global technology leader in Electronic Design Automation software. Our software tools enable companies around the world to develop highly innovative electronic products faster and more cost-effectively. Our customers use our tools to push the boundaries of technology and physics to deliver better products in the increasingly complex world of chip, board, and system design. The development and evaluation of EDA design software and systems for internal and external products is a critical function for organizations seeking to exceed customer expectations. Consulting services must be provided to clients regarding future upgrades and products while executing complex software designs that require significant re-architecture of crucial systems. Coordinating the implementation process and promoting innovation through state-of-the-art technology and knowledge into multiple product areas are also essential. Understanding complex products, solutions, and problems and constructive communication skills is necessary for working well within a team environment. The position also entails assisting in setting the technical direction for the Layout Automation Team's physical design area of the ICDS product portfolio and serving as technical support for projects that span multiple areas of a product. The role is responsible for ensuring the functional quality of the released product on all required platforms and systems while working independently on the most complex projects and demonstrating technical expertise and judgment. This person is going to be working with the foundry in the layout and routing of a chip. They will be working to sort out the placement of the boxes and wires on the actual chip and what delivers the most effective output in the most minimal space. They will need to know various constraints. For example, they would need to know that you can only fit so many wires between boxes placed this far apart; or that this box must have a rounded edge because the wire to be used is more brittle and doesn’t need to be against a 90 degree angle. The tool they will be working on is called L-Edit.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• BS in Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering

• Visual Studio IDE using C and popular libraries

• Scripting experience with Python, Tcl, Bash, or Csh

• Knowledge of Jira and Confluence

• Advocate for structured development, debug, verification, and documentation processes

• At least 1 year working experience in a related field (Ideally 3-5 YOE)

> Working experience with EDA concepts and methodologies

> Ability to resolve issues in creative ways and exercise self-directed judgment in selecting methods and techniques to obtain solutions

> Experience designing and promoting solutions to complex software development challenges

> Demonstrated experience executing projects from start to completion

> Demonstrated experience contributing complex portions to larger team design/development

NICE TO HAVE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

- Masters Degree in an Engineering role, preferably Electrical or Computer Engineering

- LEF Experience (Library Exchange Format, which is a specification for representing the physical layout of an integrated circuit (IC) in ASCII format. LEF is used in conjunction with Design Exchange Format (DEF) to represent the complete physical layout of an IC during design)

- Rule Aware Design
