Senior Principal IC Design Implementation Solutions Engineer

The primary focus of Senior Principal Solutions Engineer is to support the adoption of Cadence Products to help Chip Designer Customers achieve superior performance for their Design PPA Goals. AE's are expected to possess Synthesis (logical and physical), Place and Route (primary focus) , STA / SDC skills and some experience supporting tapeouts. Experience with multivoltage design implementation and clock tree debugging is desirable.  

In addition, Solutions Engineers are expected to be able to articulate design methodologies involving Cadence tools and be 'elevator talk' proficient in the full Cadence tool portfolio. Development time will be spent gaining expertise in additional, or specialization tools, broadening focus from product emphasis to methodology, Full Flow Implementation Training, and learning to leverage success . Full Flow Services Projects involves owning block implementation, top level implementation and Signoff focused efforts. Job exposure will be on RTL to GDSII delivery of projects. There's an opportunity to get involved in competitive benchmarking on complex blocks including CPUs, GPUs and DSP cores. These projects involve implementation in multiple technology nodes on standard foundry solutions. If you are looking to gain experience in methodology, product delivery, and working on cutting edge technology, this is the right role for you. 

Position Requirements:  

* Design experience should include ASIC design using industry-standard hardware description languages (Verilog)
