• Design and implement new compiler functionality and support existing features.
• Write and maintain system‑level tests and develop new testing strategies.
• Collaborate with software and hardware teams across multiple sites.

• BS, MS or PhD in Computer Science or Computer Engineering.
• 0 to 3 years of industry software development experience building large C++ applications as part of a team.
• Demonstrated experience with algorithm and data structure design.
• Understanding of gate‑level digital logic design.
• Strong teamwork and independent work abilities.

• Experience in EDA software development, especially timing analysis, synthesis, design partition or placement.
• Software engineering skills with experience using Unix/Linux operating systems.
• Experience with software testing methods.
• Experience with hardware description languages (Verilog/VHDL).
• Experience with software simulation tools (e.g., Model Sim).
• Knowledge of scripting languages (Python, Shell scripting) is a plus.
