The Role:
As Senior CAD Engineer you will be responsible for installing and maintaining EDA tools and flows for project Kuiper's digital design teams. This is an opportunity to define the digital design environment and deploy methodology of a new project from day one. You will advise on tools selection, and interface with various EDA vendors and foundries to optimize the EDA flows, design collateral, and other files necessary for the design team to operate efficiently. You will be responsible for defining and creating the common design environment that sets the versions of the tools, flows, design IPs, other collateral for every chip in development. Additionally, you will interface various digital design teams who will be requesting deployment, training, and maintenance of tools and flows, and collaborate EDA vendors as needed. In this role you will interface internal stakeholders as well as 3rd party, tracking necessary updates, deploying enhancements following regression sign off.
