The Circuit Analysis

Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining software used for transistor-level electrical circuit simulation in the epoch of emerging Agentic AI frameworks. Engineer will be part of a team focused on modernizing VLSI circuit simulation tools to integrate into emerging Agentic AI frameworks in the broader electronic design automation context. Design and implement new software features and interfaces in the Cadence circuit simulation tool portfolio.

Contribute to continuous integration, unit testing, and code quality processes using modern C++ paradigms and AI-assisted development workflows. Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams in a geographically distributed workplace to deliver production-quality simulation technologies. MS/PhD in Computer Science/Computer Engineering.

Strong software engineering fundamentals, including design, refactoring, debugging, and testing of complex applications. Candidate should be familiar with test-driven development and design of componentized, modular software using minimalist design principles. Candidate should have demonstrated history of both new software development and ability to refactor existing code bases.

Proficient in Python, C++. Candidate does not have to be an ML/AI researcher or AI specialist to be successful in this role,



but must have the necessary computer science background to be able to design and deploy production software systems that make use of ML/LLM technology. You will not be developing new ML models themselves, but innovating to use AI technology in an EDA software framework and pushing the boundaries of Agentic AI within those frameworks.

Software quality practices: Experience with unit testing, CI/CD automation, and code review processes. AI-assisted development workflows: Ability to integrate AI tools into engineering workflows to enhance productivity and code quality.

Machine Learning Engineering: Basic background in machine learning, background in ML, data pipelines, predictive modeling, and deployment. Familiarity with concepts such as ReAct (reason-act loops), planning/evaluation/self-correction, and persistent memory design, frameworks (e.g.

Data and retrieval: Understanding of RAG, retrieval pipelines, embeddings, chunking, and grounding. The annual salary range for British Columbia is 89,600 CAD to 166,400 CAD. You may also be eligible to receive incentive compensation: bonus, equity, and benefits.
