Job Details

Description:


We are seeking a skilled EDA Tool Management Specialist to oversee the implementation, maintenance, and optimization of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools in the design environment. This role will ensure smooth design workflows, maximize design efficiency, and drive innovation by staying current with the latest EDA technologies both on-prem and in the cloud.

Responsibilities

Tool Administration:

  • Manage the lifecycle of EDA tools, including installation, configuration, upgrades, and license management on-prem and in the cloud environment.

  • Build comprehensive design environments in the cloud with secure and scalable architecture, job scheduling, and queue management.

  • Monitor tool performance, identify bottlenecks, and implement optimization strategies.

  • Maintain a robust tool infrastructure ensuring data integrity and backup procedures.

  • Manage EDA license requests, installation, forecasting, and maintenance.

  • Work with infrastructure teams on compute grid, storage management, and job scheduling architecture.

  • Adapt EDA infrastructure to various chip design styles (Digital, Analog-Mixed Signal, RF, ASICs, FPGAs) and simulation solutions.

  • Support RTL2GDS flow and physical design implementation flow development.

  • Train teams on cloud deployments and EDA tool management.

Workflow Development:

  • Collaborate with design teams to set up and maintain efficient EDA tool flows, integrating synthesis, placement, routing, verification, etc.

  • Create and document standard design methodologies and best practices for tool usage.

  • Develop custom scripts and automation to streamline tasks and improve design efficiency.

Technical Support:

  • Provide technical support on EDA tool usage, queue management, troubleshooting, and access issues.

  • Conduct training sessions on new tool features and updates.

Vendor Management:
