Position Overview: 

We are looking for high level C++ software engineers to join our team in the development of computer aided design (CAD) tools for the design of integrated circuits (ICs) for the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) industry. You will be part of a group of senior software engineers contributing to new components and algorithms as well as supporting existing components. Self-motivation, the desire to take technical ownership, a results-driven positive attitude and team-orientation will contribute to your success in this role. 

Responsibilities: 

You will be responsible for designing, implementing, debugging, and supporting innovative and diverse features for IC design. A large amount of your time will be concentrated on router and placer processes.  The software frequently involves rapid user interaction, so careful consideration of the user experience is an important part of the job. At the same time, IC design involves massive data sets, so performance considerations are critical when architecting new features. Challenges will include high-performance data-structures, multi-threading, distributed computing, multi-platform support, and object-oriented design of C++ software. 

You will collaborate with quality assurance, marketing, technical publications, and customer support to deliver high-quality products on schedule. You will participate in scheduling and estimation of tasks, and assist in defining and developing software development best practices.
