Principal EDA Software Engineer

The Engineering Enablement group provides industry-leading tools, methodologies, and support to accelerate product development across the company. This position is part of the Systems Verification and Validation (SVV) team within the Engineering Enablement organization in the CTO Office. SVV is responsible for developing, adopting, and supporting tools, methodologies, and solutions across the entire DV landscape - including Unified Metric-Driven Verification (MDV), SystemVerilog (SV)/UVM-based methods, Mixed-Signal DV, Post-Silicon Validation Shift-Left, Formal Verification, Functional Safety, Security, Portable Stimulus, and Emulation/Prototyping technologies.

The Role
We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Staff EDA Software Development Engineer to help SVV build industry-leading, best-in-class DV solutions. The EDA SW Development Engineer will research, develop, apply, and support application software for Design Verification and Virtual Test/Eval, as part of ADI’s shift-left initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

Specific responsibilities include:

• Architect and implement EDA SW for the automation of Design Verification (DV) and Virtual Test/Evaluation of complex IC/system products
• Gather requirements, drive consensus and collaborate across a cross-functional, multi-discipline team & stakeholders
• Develop modeling and simulation methodology of Virtual Test/Evaluation of ICs to leverage Design Verification (DV) collaterals
• Identify areas of significant competitive advantage and execute through EDA solution development
• Apply AI/ML methods to create superior solutions to design automation problems
• Expertise with CI/CD pipelines, automated build and test processes, and integration with version control systems.
• Represent the organization in internal and external technical forums, sharing best practices and driving innovation in engineering enablement.
• Champion the adoption of new technologies and methodologies, evaluating emerging tools and guiding their integration into standard practice.

All projects are expected to have a significant EDA software component with the expectation to contribute to all aspects of the software life cycle including idea conception, product definition, software development, maintenance, and user support.  By working closely with industry-leading DV methodology and practitioners, collaborating with external researchers, and interfacing with commercial EDA tools, your work will provide leading-edge, targeted differentiation of design automation methods for ADI’s new product development teams. Success is measured by the impact on IC/System development projects that produce great products for the customers of Analog Devices.  The ideal candidate will have a sound understanding of DV tools and methods, concepts, and design automation algorithms with a passion for enterprise software development.
