Join the vibrant Global CAD team pushing the limits of design solutions for the chips powering billions of mobile devices. The position requires Python or C++ coding experience and CAD development skills to define and develop tools and methodologies for various design flows, in close collaboration with Physical Design and Timing/PDN teams and CAD domain experts. Using leading edge internal and EDA technologies, including pioneering in genAI/ML, and developing good-by-construction tools for chip RTL integration and floorplanning.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

• New features development and software maintenance on the internal tool, which purpose is to assist VLSI designer to optimally place 100+ chip infrastructure RTL modules inside the top-level chip floorplan and route the data paths between these modules with minimization of the detours and pipelines stages.
• Physical Aware Tiling support to the Snapdragon design team, through tickets and code fixing in case of dysfunctional corner cases.
• Participate to the software development of projects in various VLSI domains such as floorplanning, synthesis, place and route, signoff timing analysis etc.
• Participate to the software development of projects pertaining to CAD software infrastructure, including infrastructure for AI agents, design regression automation etc.
• Participate to the development of project specs along with the CAD project lead and to the development of software specs with the software lead.
• Adhere to all the Software development best practices, including GenAI unit test development, linting, procs and classes guidelines, documentation, gitlab merge requests etc.

This role’s responsibilities will include:

• Develop and maintain internal software products in the domain of top-level chip floorplanning RTL modules placement and datapath pipeline routing for optimal timing and area.
• Develop new features in existing internal software tools, including webapp GUI development, design collaterals parsers, high-level APIs.
• Develop and augment design flow infrastructure software tools, for instance to automate design regression or extract standalone design testcases from production execution area for regression purpose.
• Apply best coding practice, in terms of class definition, linting, adherence to the CI/CD pipeline, documentation.
• Participate to the Project Specs development through meetings with key chips designers and CAD project leads, about the scope and the required features.
• Participate to the Software Specs development along with software leads, including creating UML diagrams showing the intended software architecture.
• Interfacing with Global CAD software developers and VLSI domain experts.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Masters degree or PhD in Computer Science, Compute Engineering, or related field.
• Experience in software development platforms, such as git, gitlab or github.
