Software Developer - AI for Analog Layout Automation

Company Overview

Siemens EDA is 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-effective. 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

Position Overview

At Siemens EDA, we develop advanced software used by the world's leading semiconductor companies to design the chips that power AI infrastructure, automotive systems, consumer electronics, and countless other products. We are building the next generation of AI-driven design technology to automate analog layout, placement, routing, and optimization.

Want to Work on Impossible Problems?

How would you find the best route through a city with millions of roads?

How would you solve a puzzle with more possible solutions than atoms in the universe?

How would you pack, connect, and optimize millions of objects while satisfying thousands of constraints?

How would you combine AI, graph theory, geometry, and optimization to do something no human could do by hand?

That's what we do.

We build software that automatically designs the chips powering AI systems, smartphones, data centers, automobiles, and the technologies changing our world. If you enjoy algorithms, mathematics, optimization, and tackling problems that seem impossible, we'd like to talk to you.

Additional Information

No prior semiconductor or analog layout experience is required.
