Job description

At Capgemini Engineering, the world leader in engineering services, we bring together a global team of engineers, scientists, and architects to help the world’s mostinnovative companies unleash their potential. From autonomous cars to life-saving robots, our digital and software technology experts think outside the box as theyprovide unique R&D and engineering services across all industries. Join us for a career full of opportunities. Where you can make a difference. Where no two days arethe same.

Your role

Define, deploy, and maintain EDA tool flows and CAD infrastructure supporting semiconductor design and verification activities across full SoC lifecycle. Drive the evaluation, benchmarking, and integration of EDA tools (Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens EDA, Arteris) and associated flows to maximize productivity, reliability, and scalability. Own the engineering infrastructure environment (compute, storage, licensing, CI/CD, automation) required for advanced chip design workloads. Collaborate with design, verification, and physical implementation teams to ensure efficient, robust, and scalable tool usage. Explore and integrate AI/ML-based tooling and workflows to improve engineering productivity (automation, debugging, optimization, knowledge extraction). Ensure optimal trade‑offs between performance, cost, scalability, and usability of the CAD environment. Act as a key technical interface between internal engineering teams, management, and EDA vendors. Provide regular reporting on tool performance, usage, and roadmap alignment.

Your tasks

• Define, deploy, and maintain EDA flows for digital, mixed-signal, and verification activities (simulation, synthesis, P&R, DFT, signoff).
• Evaluate, benchmark, and qualify new EDA tools, releases, and methodologies before production deployment.
• Design and operate EDA infrastructure environments, including: Compute farms (Linux-based clusters for simulation and regression), Storage systems (NFS, distributed storage, backup/DR), License servers (FlexLM/Flexera).
• Develop and maintain automation frameworks for tool installation and configuration, regression and CI/CD pipelines, resource provisioning and monitoring
• Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) for design and verification workflows.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to optimize tool usage and flows, debug tool-related issues, improve turnaround time and efficiency.
• Maintain strong interaction with EDA vendors (Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens).
• Define and enforce best practices and standards for CAD usage and tool flows.
• Integrate AI-driven capabilities into engineering workflows.
• Support security, compliance, and reliability requirements (e.g., ISO 27001 environments).
