Job Title: Staff CAD Engineer
Position Description: Protingent Staffing has an exciting contract Staff CAD Engineer with our client located in Austin, TX.
Job Responsibilities:
Execute the technical roadmap for CAD engineering and contribute to the design of next-generation tools, flows, and methodologies that enable power-efficient, scalable GPU and SoC designs across advanced process nodes.
Help deliver robust automation, debug complex tool and flow issues, and help drive consistent adoption of best practices across design organizations.
Support low-power design enablement at scale, contribute to methodologies for power analysis, optimization, verification, and signoff while aligning on close integration with RTL, physical design, and DTCO strategies.
Help advancing cross-functional and external collaboration, partnering with internal engineering teams and external vendors to leverage tool capabilities, resolve systemic design challenges, and accelerate technology readiness.
Take initiatives on moderate-to-complex projects, advance best practices by maintaining technical documentation and staying ahead of emerging GPU and verification technologies.
Job Qualifications:
6+ years of experience with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science/Engineering, or 4+ years of experience with a Master’s Degree, or 2+ years of experience with a Ph.D.
6+ years of hands-on experience with hands-on experience CAD, design methodology, or design enablement for GPU, CPU, or other complex SoC programs.
Working knowledge and experience with low-power tools and methodologies, including RTL and gate-level power analysis, optimization, and signoff flows (e.g., PrimePower, PowerArtist, Empower, Joules, RTL-Architect, or equivalent).
Solid understanding of the end-to-end ASIC and design flow, including RTL, verification, synthesis, physical design, timing, power, EMIR, DTCO considerations.
Solid experience with CAD tools for simulation, synthesis, linting, and verification (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor Graphics).
Working knowledge and hands-on experience with EMIR tools and methodologies, including transistor, gate, and package level analysis (e.g. Redhawk, Totem, Voltus)
Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills using data-driven approach.
Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and maintain ownership in a fast-paced, global environment.
