Software Architect, DIC P&R & AI-driven EDA Automation

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology. We are looking for a Software Architect to help build scalable EDA flows and AI-driven automation for advanced 3

DIC applications.

Build scalable EDA flows using C++, Tcl, Python, and Java. Develop AI/LLM-based automation for 3

DIC applications, including flow generation, debugging assistants, and root-cause analysis capabilities. Integrate 3

DIC flows into a broader platform system supporting 3

DIC, interposer, and RDL system flows. Design and automate workflows that improve usability, productivity, and debug efficiency for complex package and system-level design challenges. Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to define requirements, validate flow behavior, and deliver production-quality solutions.

• Strong background in EDA data structures and algorithms.
• Hands‑on experience with Tcl, Python, and C++ automation in EDA tools.
• Experience with DB‑driven design flows, such as Innovus or similar implementation platforms.
• Understanding of 3
  
  DIC, interposer, packaging routing, and RDL design flows.
• Knowledge of constraint‑driven design, including timing, signal integrity, DRC, and related implementation constraints.
• Experience handling large‑scale design problems, including high bump‑count designs and multi‑region routing challenges.

• Experience with 3
  
  DIC, 3.5D, or 2.5D designs.
• Familiarity with signal integrity, EMIR, and thermal considerations in advanced packaging environments.
• Experience with LLM or AI systems, including agent frameworks and prompt‑to‑script automation.
• Knowledge of multi‑tool integration and end‑to‑end flow automation.
• Ability to translate complex EDA workflows into scalable, user‑friendly automation solutions.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. Relevant industry experience developing EDA software, design automation flows, AI/LLM‑enabled engineering tools, or advanced packaging design solutions.
