Senior Design Automation Engineer, Applied AI

We are seeking an Applied AI Engineer to lead end-to-end solution development for timing and constraint analysis workflows. You will be part of a cross-disciplinary team building intelligent systems that learn from sign-off data, reason across flows, and assist engineers in achieving faster and more predictable closure.

Responsibilities:

• Architect and develop AI-driven solutions for static timing, constraints quality, and closure prediction.
• Integrate heterogeneous data sources into structured knowledge bases and training pipelines.
• Develop autonomous analysis agents that interact with timing tools to perform multi-corner, multi-mode optimization and constraint debugging.
• Implement scalable orchestration across Flow-Server and Digital Engineer platforms, enabling AI-in-loop decision-making for sign-off readiness.
• Collaborate with methodology and sign-off teams to validate models on live projects, improving coverage, predictability, and engineering productivity.
• Build interpretable AI pipelines using graph neural networks, large language models, and process-aware reasoning engines for timing closure recommendations.

Requirements:

• BS (or equivalent experience) in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 12+ years of experience in AI/ML solution development, ideally for EDA, semiconductor, or complex data domains.
• Strong background in VLSI/ASIC design, with deep understanding of timing, constraints, STA, or sign-off workflows.
• Proficiency in Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, and graph or agentic AI frameworks.
• Experience developing data pipelines, knowledge graphs, or process models for structured engineering data.
• Working knowledge of timing tools (PrimeTime, Nanotime, Tempus) and scripting integration with EDA environments.
• Experience with AI orchestration frameworks, reasoning based on prompts, and multi-agent automation is highly desirable.

Benefits:

• Widely considered to be one of the technology world's most desirable employers.
• Highly competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package.
• Eligible for equity and benefits.
