Job description

Detailed Job Description

We are looking for a CAD and Integration Engineer to join our custom silicon team. Working in close partnership with circuit designers, digital designers and layout engineers, you will translate circuit intent into physical constraints, drive synthesis, place-and-route, and signoff, and bridge the gap between schematic and silicon. You will also play a key role in enabling 3D stacking flows between heterogeneous process nodes. Beyond implementation, we expect a builder's mindset: developing automation tools, improving CAD flows, and actively leveraging AI-assisted design to increase team-wide engineering velocity.
