About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field is required.
  • At least 10 years of experience in analog/mixed-signal design or CAD support is required.
  • At least 5 years of leadership experience is required.
  • Strong hands-on experience with analog design platforms such as Virtuoso and p-cell development, and Custom Compiler, is required.
  • Deep understanding of analog layout, verification flows, PDK integration, and tapeout processes is required.
  • Proven experience managing design data governance and tapeout manifest control is required.
  • Strong Linux system administration and scripting skills in Python, Tcl, Shell, and SKILL are required.
  • Experience with compute grid management, storage architecture, and license management is required.
  • Expertise in version control and configuration management systems is required.

Responsibilities

  • Own and maintain analog and mixed-signal design flows using platforms such as Virtuoso.
  • Develop and maintain schematic, layout, verification, and extraction flows, including LVS and DRC.
  • Support simulation environments, including HSPICE and corner analysis.
  • Drive automation and methodology improvements to reduce turnaround time and increase design robustness.
  • Oversee Linux-based design automation infrastructure, including compute farms, storage systems, and license servers such as FlexLM.
  • Manage LSF/grid environments and job scheduling systems.
  • Ensure infrastructure scalability, system monitoring, high availability, and performance optimization.
  • Partner with IT on hardware lifecycle planning, cloud integration, and disaster recovery.
  • Maintain secure, access-controlled design environments aligned with IP protection policies.
  • Manage large-scale analog design libraries, hierarchical database structures, and technology libraries.
  • Define backup, archival, and retention policies for tapeout-critical data.
  • Implement data integrity validation and corruption prevention controls.
  • Oversee distributed storage systems optimized for EDA workloads.
  • Own creation and governance of tapeout manifests covering PDK versions, tool versions, extraction and verification decks, simulation models, and signoff configurations.
  • Establish reproducible environment release frameworks for analog programs.
  • Implement controlled qualification flows for tool and PDK upgrades before production rollout.
  • Maintain environment snapshots to ensure reproducibility and post-silicon traceability.
  • Support formal tapeout readiness and design signoff reviews.
  • Deploy and manage version control systems, including Git, Cliosoft, SVN, and Perforce, for CAD scripts and automation, methodology flows, PDK overlays, and verification decks.
  • Define branching, tagging, and release strategies for multi-project and multi-node environments.
  • Implement dependency tracking across tools, PDKs, IP, and infrastructure.
  • Apply infrastructure-as-code principles where applicable.
  • Develop automated environment capture tools to log tool versions, library states, and system configurations.
  • Enable reproducible simulations and environment packaging.
  • Create dashboards and reporting metrics for design data health and design automation service KPIs.
  • Lead and mentor design automation and infrastructure engineers.
  • Serve as the primary interface between analog design, digital CAD, IT, and EDA vendors.
  • Drive tool evaluations, upgrades, and vendor negotiations.
  • Develop internal documentation, training programs, and best practices.
  • Establish measurable service-level KPIs and continuously improve design automation operations.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with advanced nodes such as FinFET and GAA.
  • Knowledge of CI/CD practices applied to EDA environments.
  • Experience supporting geographically distributed design teams.

About the Company

Intel

Pioneers microprocessors, CPUs for PCs

Intel designs and manufactures semiconductor chips, with a focus on microprocessors for personal computers, servers, and other devices. Its core product is the CPU on a single silicon chip, which executes instructions, handles arithmetic and logic operations, and coordinates the work of other computer components. Intel originated in memory chips but shifted decisively to microprocessors in the 1980s, becoming a central supplier for the PC era after the IBM partnership and its famous x86 processor line. This shift, large-scale manufacturing, and close ties with computer makers set Intel apart from competitors who remained focused on memory or other components. The company aims to power computing by delivering high-performance, energy-efficient silicon solutions that drive a wide range of computing devices and applications.
