Descrição da oferta de emprego

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

Cadence Design Systems Inc. is looking for a motivated Lead Product Engineer: SoC Verification to work with us in Belo Horizonte, Brazil for Perspec Team. Perspec is Cadence’s Portable Stimulus solution used by leading semiconductor companies to solve complex SoC and system-level verification challenges.

This role sits at the intersection of verification methodology, system architecture, and EDA product engineering. You will work directly with advanced verification teams at major semiconductor companies to deploy Portable Stimulus (PSS) in real production environments and help drive the evolution of Perspec.

The work spans formal languages, simulation, emulation, virtual platforms, firmware-driven verification, and post-silicon reuse, and increasingly involves AI-assisted verification workflows.

Portable Stimulus is changing how system-level verification is done.

In this role you will work on real verification problems at scale, interacting with some of the most advanced verification teams in the industry and helping shape how hardware/software co-verification is done across simulation, emulation, and silicon. If you enjoy deep technical problem solving, modeling complex systems, and working close to both customers and EDA tool development, this is a unique role.

Cadence has been nominated as a Great Place to Work globally and in Brazil, and is also a Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For.
