At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

As a member of our routing team for the Innovus Place and Route system, you will design and develop technology to be used in our design closure tools.  Routing is used throughout the flow and has great importance to estimate congestion and timing during placement and optimization and should be done accurately.  After placement and optimization steps are done, routing puts the real wires down and design closure starts.  Your responsibilities include developing and designing cutting edge algorithms for routing estimation and implementation. 

Core Responsibilities:

• Research, develop, maintain, enhance, and invent algorithms for physical design routing
• Engage with the other teams as needed to collaborate to improve overall tool performance
• Perform peer code reviews and maintain a high quality thread safe code.
• Build unit tests and run regressions of the software developed
• Implement and maintain utilities for routing team to manage routine work automatically

Position Requirements:

The candidates should be strong with algorithms and programming. Strong interest and understanding of complex software development on the UNIX platform are required. C/C++/Python knowledge is preferred.  Electronic Design Automation (EDA) knowledge is a big plus. Strong presentation skills are highly valued. BS degree is required.  

We’re doing work that matters. Help us solve what others can’t.
