Lead Solutions Engineer
At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.
Job Description for R&D Solutions Role:
The Physical Verification Solutions Engineer role focuses on validating and optimizing advanced physical verification technologies for cutting-edge semiconductor designs. This position involves executing and analyzing complex verification flows—including running large design sets and customer designs—to ensure accuracy, performance, and scalability across hierarchical design environments. The engineer will focus on profiling solutions, running leading-edge designs, and identifying bottlenecks to drive tool and flow improvements. Responsibilities include close collaboration with design teams, product engineering, and R&D to ensure verification solutions meet stringent requirements for successful deployment in production design flows. Solutions Engineers apply deep expertise across physical verification domains—including DRC, LVS, Fill, and PERC (Parameterized Electrical Rule Check)—to enable next-generation verification methodologies for high-performance IC development.
Desired Skills and Experience:
- Work experience in VLSI design, a strong understanding of semiconductor manufacturing, device physics and modeling.
- A strong background in programming would be a plus, as is a strong understanding of IC Design Flow.
- Must be a fast learner and must demonstrate strong aptitude for out-of-the-box thinking and problem solving.
