Job Location: Waltham, MA

Siemens EDA is the longest standing Electronic Design Automation company in the world and over the last 30 years has amassed the finest technology portfolio in the business. Our software tools span the full breadth of semiconductor and electrical systems solutions including integrated circuit design and verification, PCB design & manufacturing solutions, cable harness design tools, and embedded software.

Siemens EDA is looking for a software development engineer to work in the Hardware Assisted Verification (HAV) division. HAV develops and manufactures custom super computers called emulators for functional verification of System-on-Chip circuit designs. In emulation systems, custom software compiles a circuit design's high-level description into a low level binary representation that can be loaded and run on the emulator hardware. The individual that fills this position will become a member of the emulator compiler specialists developing the compiler software for Siemens next generation emulators.

Responsibilities:

The Software Development Engineer will have responsibilities in the development and improvement of the part of the compiler that analyzes the customer design in order to map it on the emulator resources. The individual will participate in the design and implementation of new functionality for this part of the compiler as well as support current functionality. The candidate will work on high-level algorithm design, as well as on the “ones and zeroes” of the programmable emulator hardware. The work will be mostly in C on Linux. This position will include interaction with other software teams as well as HAV hardware teams in an international, multi-site, development environment.

Required Skills:

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
  • Knowledge of the C programming language.
  • Knowledge of algorithm and data structure design.
  • Basic understanding of gate level digital logic design.
  • Excel both in team-oriented development and working independently.

Desired Skills:

  • Software engineering skills using Unix/Linux operating systems.
  • Knowledge of EDA Hardware description languages (Verilog/Vhdl).
  • Experience in the use of EDA software simulation tools.

This position will be subject to U.S. export control requirements under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Employment is contingent on either verifying the U.S. Person status or obtaining any necessary export license.
