Salary
💰 $136,000 - $218,500 per year
About the role
- Develop, refine, and maintain system-level methodologies and software tools for efficient SOC creation, with a primary focus on top-level assembly tools and flows written in C++
- Design, implement, and test robust software components (APIs, libraries, command-line tools) to streamline SOC design and assembly through innovative integration efforts
- Build and improve automated test infrastructure (unit/regression) to ensure correctness, scalability, and long-term maintainability of SOC assembly workflows
- Spot inefficiencies in the SOC/front-end implementation and assembly process and propose actionable improvements (tooling, workflow, usability, performance)
- Collaborate across teams to drive standard methodologies and continuous improvement in SOC development, including requirements gathering, documentation, and user support
- Enable high-quality RTL and integration collateral delivery to downstream teams with thorough quality checks, automation, and reviews
- Occasionally use the top-level assembly tools/flows for IP integration and SOC assembly tasks, helping validate and improve methodology in real projects
- Contribute scripting and infrastructure improvements (e.g., automation, CI, build systems, environment setup) to accelerate methodology adoption
Requirements
- BS or MS in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience
- 3+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, ideally developing C++ tools used in design/automation or other large-scale engineering workflows
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a focus on debugging complex systems and improving reliability/performance
- Strong C++ programming skills, including design for maintainability, code reviews, testing, and performance awareness
- Proficiency in Python, Perl, or similar scripting languages for automation and workflow improvements
- Working knowledge of SOC integration concepts and RTL-to-implementation flows (e.g., synthesis, place and route, timing/quality checks) is a plus
- Excellent communication and teamwork abilities to build consensus within and across teams, translating user needs into effective tools and processes
