About the Role
Senior Silicon CAD Automation Engineer with deep expertise in developing, deploying, and maintaining scalable automation frameworks, CI/CD infrastructure, and engineering workflows supporting large-scale ASIC IP and SoC development. Ability to architect and scale automated design and verification workflows using modern software engineering practices, CI/CD methodologies, and industry-standard tools such as Jenkins, GitLab, Gerrit, Python, and Linux-based development environments. Strong interest in Artificial Intelligence and its transformative impact on silicon development infrastructure, with a focus on applying AI/ML techniques to enhance engineering productivity, enable intelligent failure analysis, improve CI/CD pipeline optimization, accelerate debug, and automate design, verification, and CAD workflow management. Actively exploring how AI-driven automation can redefine traditional silicon development environments, enabling higher engineering efficiency, improved quality, and faster development cycles at scale.
Responsibilities
- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines supporting silicon development workflows, including automated build, regression, testing, and quality validation environments.
- Develop and maintain scalable automation solutions integrating source control systems, code review platforms, EDA tools, and engineering workflows.
- Drive and maintain standardization of development processes, automation methodologies, and infrastructure best practices across engineering organizations.
- Improve engineering productivity through workflow optimization, infrastructure modernization, and automation of repetitive development tasks.
- Collaborate closely with IP design-, and verification teams, IT, and infrastructure teams to ensure reliable and scalable development environments.
- Monitor infrastructure performance and drive continuous improvements in system reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency.
- Identify process gaps and implement automation solutions that improve development velocity, traceability, and silicon quality.
- Evaluate and deploy AI-assisted solutions for workflow automation, regression analysis, failure triage, and engineering productivity enhancement.
Requirements
- Expert knowledge of CI/CD methodologies using Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, Gerrit, Git workflows, and automated quality gates.
- Extensive experience developing automation solutions using Python, Shell scripting, and Linux-based infrastructure.
- Strong understanding of software engineering best practices including version control, code review processes, automated testing, and release management.
