• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of proven industry experience.
• A proven track record developing ASIC design frameworks and flows.
• First-hand experience with RTL, functional verification, formal verification, or physical design would be an asset.
• High-level programming skills, including Python, PERL, Make, and shell scripting.
• Experience with AI frameworks, including knowledge of agentic flow development.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills and the ability to work well with colleagues.
