Job Title

Position Title: Senior EDA Engineer – Cadence Virtuoso, SKILL/CDF, Tool Integration Role Overview: We are seeking a highly skilled EDA Engineer with solid experience in Cadence Virtuoso environments and a deep understanding of Open Access databases, SKILL scripting, foundry PDK/CDK integration, and schematic/layout tool automation. This role will collaborate closely with AI/EDA development teams to build seamless design flows and robust automation for our AI-powered analog design platform. Key Responsibilities: • Develop, maintain, and optimize analog/mixed-signal IC design flows in Cadence Virtuoso and related EDA tools. • Create, modify, and optimize SKILL scripts for automation of layout, schematic, verification, and design environment tasks. • Manage Component Description Format (CDF) parameters and configurations for foundry PDK and CDK components/libraries. • Work extensively with the OpenAccess (OA) database API (using C++, Python, Tcl) to read, write, and manipulate design data including schematic, layout, connectivity, and library information. • Develop automation tools and workflows leveraging OpenAccess to integrate schematic and layout views, support PDK/CDK validation, and assist design data migration or QA. • Integrate and validate foundry PDK/CDK devices, parameterized cells (pCells), symbols, DRC/LVS decks, and simulation models with EDA tools. • Troubleshoot issues related to PDK integration, OA database consistency, schematic-layout synchronization, and environment setups.• Document technical processes, create reusable automation scripts, and contribute to team best practices. • Collaborate with AI and software teams to integrate EDA tools into Maieutic’s AI co-pilot platform and support continuous improvement of design automation. Required Skills & Experience: • 3–10 years hands-on experience working with Cadence Virtuoso analog/mixed signal design flows. • Strong proficiency in SKILL scripting for automation within Cadence schematic and layout environments. • Proven experience managing and customizing CDF files for parametric device libraries in Cadence. • Hands-on experience with OpenAccess (OA) database API: Familiarity with OA schema, ability to program in C++, Python, or Tcl to develop tools/scripts that access and modify OA layout and schematic data.
