Siemens EDA is a global technology leader in Electronic Design Automation software. Our tools enable companies around the world to develop highly innovative electronic products faster and more cost‑effectively.

Siemens EDA is looking for a software development engineer to work in the Hardware Assisted Verification (HAV) division. HAV develops and manufactures emulators for functional verification of System‑on‑Chip circuit designs. In emulation systems, custom software compiles a circuit design’s high‑level description into a low‑level binary representation that can be loaded and run on the emulation hardware. The engineer will contribute to the compiler software for next‑generation emulators.

• Develop and improve the compiler component that analyzes customer designs to map them onto emulator resources, including clock and data network analysis, partitioning, placement, and logic synthesis.
• Design and implement new functionality for the compiler and support current features.
• Write system‑level tests and develop new testing methods using software simulation.
• Collaborate with other software teams and Veloce hardware teams across multiple sites.
• Work primarily in C++ on Linux.

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or Computer Engineering.
• 0 to 3 years of industry experience developing large C++ applications as part of a team.
• Demonstrated experience with algorithm and data‑structure design.
• Understanding of gate‑level digital logic design.
• Ability to work both independently and in a team‑oriented development environment.
• Must be able to work onsite at Waltham, MA.

• Experience in EDA software development, especially with timing analysis, synthesis, design partitioning, or placement.
• Software engineering experience in Unix/Linux environments.
• Experience with software testing methods.
• Experience with hardware description languages (Verilog/VHDL).
• Experience with simulation tools (e.g., Model Sim).
• Knowledge of scripting languages such as Python or shell script.

This position is subject to U.S. export control requirements under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Employment is contingent on verifying U.S. Person status or obtaining any necessary export license.
