The Role
Develop AI/ML solutions for semiconductor design and verification workflows. Build scalable pipelines that extract and analyze EDA logs, reports, run artifacts, and design metadata. Create models, heuristics, and analytics for STA, DRC/LVS, ECO optimization, debug, and regression acceleration. Integrate solutions into CAD infrastructure, automation systems, schedulers, and design databases while collaborating with EDA vendors.

Position Overview:
 
Work closely with design teams and CAD/EDA stakeholders to identify workflow bottlenecks across the chip development lifecycle—such as DRC/CDC/STA debug, regression triage, PPA convergence, and ECO iteration. This role focuses on building scalable data pipelines and models, and integrating AI-driven solutions into production CAD and verification flows.
 
Responsibilities:
  • Identify and prioritize high-impact opportunities to apply AI/ML to chip design and verification workflows, spanning RTL-to-GDS, signoff, debug, and regression
  • Build and maintain data pipelines to extract, normalize, and analyze signals from EDA tool logs, reports, run artifacts, and design metadata (e.g., timing reports, violations, coverage, failures)
  • Develop ML models, heuristics, and analytics to improve efficiency and quality in areas such as STA, DRC/LVS, ECO optimization, and debug acceleration
  • Integrate AI solutions into existing CAD infrastructure, including automation systems, regression frameworks, job schedulers, and design databases
  • Collaborate with EDA vendors as needed for tool enablement, feature requests, debugging, and evaluation of vendor solutions versus internal implementations
Requirements:
  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent industry experience
  • 2+ years of experience in CAD/EDA flow engineering, design automation, or a related semiconductor workflow role
  • Strong programming skills, with Python required; experience with shell, Tcl, or Perl as needed
  • Hands-on experience applying machine learning to real-world engineering problems
  • Solid understanding of at least one major EDA workflow domain (e.g., place & route, physical layout, DRC/LVS, STA, power, CDC, DFT, simulation/regressions)
  • Experience working with large-scale, noisy operational data (EDA logs and reports) and building robust automation around it

 
Annual base salary for this role in California, US is expected to be between $110,000 - $145,000. Actual pay will be determined by several factors such as relevant skills and experience, and the pay of employees in a similar role.
