작업 내용

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

As a condition of employment with Cadence, newly hired employees will be required to provide Cadence with proof of full vaccination, unless legally entitled to an accommodation.

Cadence has a 30-year history of applying leading edge optimization and analysis algorithms to extremely complex problems in semiconductor and electronic design, verification, and analysis. We are looking for talented software engineers to join our system verification team. You’ll have a great opportunity to make a difference by applying your creativity and problem-solving skills, learn and/or apply multi-threading/distributed computing to solve large scale compile problems for logic optimization, partitioning and performance.

More specifically you will be part of the Xcelium compiler performance team whose responsibilities is to implement compiler language features and speed up the compile time of systemVerilog models. The team charter is implement the new language constructs defined by the systemVerilog IEEE standard constructs in the parser and compiler. The team is also focused on reducing the memory and time for compiling highly replicated designs like ML/AI designs.

The candidate will work in a mixed team of senior architects and junior engineers. The responsibilities will include profiling, analyzing performance and coming up with more performant solutions. The team is looking for a dynamic innovative candidate in search of a challenging project.
