About the Role
We're building a next-generation distributed transistor-level electromigration and IR drop analysis tool. Our team has strong expertise in numerical solvers and circuit simulation algorithms. We need an experienced distributed systems engineer to design the scalable data processing infrastructure for handling massive circuit designs across distributed computing resources.
Architect and develop the core distributed infrastructure for a Python-based platform orchestrating high-performance C++ solvers, focusing on:
We bring strong expertise in numerical methods and circuit analysis algorithms, well-defined solver interfaces, and a clear technical vision. You'll build greenfield distributed infrastructure with modern tools, designing the scalable foundation that makes advanced analysis capabilities accessible to chip design engineers.
You're a systems thinker excited about data pipeline architecture and production-scale distributed systems. You understand orchestrating heterogeneous workloads and designing elegant abstractions for distributed computing. You prioritize observability, fault tolerance, and user experience alongside performance.
No circuit simulation expertise needed—that's our strength. We need your expertise building scalable, reliable infrastructure.
The annual salary range for California is $154,000 to $286,000. You may also be eligible to receive incentive compensation: bonus, equity, and benefits. Sales positions generally offer a competitive On Target Earnings (OTE) incentive compensation structure.
