Senior Designer, CAD Engineering

Role Overview

• Provide central engineering support for EDA tools, software platforms, and design workflows, including analog/mixed‑signal flows, physical verification, design data management, and compute infrastructure
• Develop, enhance, and maintain automation scripts and software tools (primarily in Python, with Tcl/Bash/Perl/SKILL as needed) to support environment setup, diagnostics, workflow validation, and operational tasks
• Implement software solutions for log analysis, issue triage, regression checks, and monitoring of EDA and infrastructure workflows
• Apply AI‑assisted techniques to improve support efficiency, including use of LLMs for diagnostics support, documentation generation, and guided troubleshooting, with exposure to EDA AI concepts such as agent‑based workflow optimization
• Investigate and resolve tool, access, permission, configuration, and environment issues, providing clear root‑cause analysis and documented resolutions
• Reproduce reported issues by creating test cases and validation scenarios, submit internal and vendor bug reports, and track issues to closure
• Troubleshoot performance and reliability issues in collaboration with IT and EE development teams, including interaction with job schedulers and resource management systems
• Support EDA and software licensing operations, including availability, usage, and integration with automated workflows
• Contribute to cloud‑based automation efforts, including interaction with AWS‑hosted services or compute environments where applicable
• Create and maintain knowledge base content, FAQs, and internal documentation, with a focus on enabling self‑service and reducing recurring support issues
