Job summary

HCLTech is seeking an experienced engineer to design and deploy an IP-XACT tracking and versioning system that lets us query exactly which IP version went into RTL builds, DV environments, or GDSII releases.

You will work with an engineer to integrate the system into RTL/DV/GDSII flows, stand up Magillem or Kactus2, and script version capture at key checkpoints, with handoff documentation for ongoing ownership.

Qualifications

• Track record: Has personally designed and deployed an IP-XACT tracking/versioning system elsewhere — describe scope and scale.
• IP-XACT / IEEE 1685: Strong working knowledge with prior implementation experience.
• SoC flow knowledge: Understands how IP moves through RTL, DV, and physical implementation to GDSII.
• Tooling: hands-on with Magillem and/or Kactus2, or a comparable tool; also additional knowledge of ClioSoft SOS & Methodics based PLM knowledge will be handy
• Scripting: Python and/or Tcl/Perl, integrated with EDA flows and version control.

Responsibilities

• IP metadata scheme: Define IP-XACT-based version/config metadata and how it maps to our IP catalog.
• Cross-stage traceability: Build the linkage/query layer connecting IP versions to RTL, DV, and GDSII releases, both ways.
• Tooling: Stand up Magillem or Kactus2 (open source), or an equivalent industry-standard tool, and integrate it with our environment.
• Flow integration: Map our existing RTL/DV/GDSII flows with our engineer and fit the system to them.
• Automation: Script version capture at key checkpoints (RTL freeze, DV regression, tapeout) — no manual bookkeeping.
• Handoff: Document the setup and enable our team to own it going forward.

Job description

Job Summary

• Role Summary: Set up an IP-XACT (IEEE 1685) based tracking and versioning system that lets us query exactly which IP version went into any given RTL build, DV environment, or GDSII release — in both directions. We strongly prefer someone who has already built this at another company, not a first attempt. You'll work with one of our engineers, who will walk you through our RTL/DV/GDSII flows so the system integrates cleanly rather than sitting on the side.

Key Responsibilities

• IP metadata scheme: Define IP-XACT-based version/config metadata and how it maps to our IP catalog.
• Cross-stage traceability: Build the linkage/query layer connecting IP versions to RTL, DV, and GDSII releases, both ways.
• Tooling: Stand up Magillem or Kactus2 (open source), or an equivalent industry-standard tool, and integrate it with our environment.
• Flow integration: Map our existing RTL/DV/GDSII flows with our engineer and fit the system to them.
• Automation: Script version capture at key checkpoints (RTL freeze, DV regression, tapeout) — no manual bookkeeping.
• Handoff: Document the setup and enable our team to own it going forward.

Skill Requirements

• Track record: Has personally designed and deployed an IP-XACT tracking/versioning system elsewhere — describe scope and scale.
• IP-XACT / IEEE 1685: Strong working knowledge with prior implementation experience.
• SoC flow knowledge: Understands how IP moves through RTL, DV, and physical implementation to GDSII.
• Tooling: hands-on with Magillem and/or Kactus2, or a comparable tool; also additional knowledge of ClioSoft SOS & Methodics based PLM knowledge will be handy
