Job Description
At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.
We are looking for talented software engineers to work on our physical verification platform, Pegasus. Pegasus provides a flexible, cloud-ready platform with a massively parallel architecture. This position focuses primarily on developing topological engines used across multiple physical verification flows, including DRC, LVS, LPE, PERC, SVL, and LFS.
While our software is designed for electronic design applications, an Electrical Engineering or EDA background is not required, although experience in these areas is a plus. Our applications may need to process hundreds of millions of objects, creating challenging problems in algorithm design, scalability, runtime, and memory efficiency. A strong Computer Science background, particularly in computational geometry, graph algorithms, or related areas, is highly valuable.
