Product Engineer – AI-Driven Analog Chip Design
Siemens EDA is a global technology leader in Electronic Design Automation software. Our software tools enable companies around the world to develop highly innovative electronic products faster and more cost-effectively. Our customers use our tools to push the boundaries of technology and physics to deliver better products in the increasingly complex world of chip, board, and system design.
We are looking for experienced Product Engineers to join our growing team in Santa Clara, California and help define the next generation of AI-driven technology for analog and custom IC design.
Want to Help Shape How Chips Are Designed in the Future?
- How would you automate workflows that have traditionally required years of engineering expertise?
- How would you combine AI, optimization, and domain knowledge to solve challenging problems across analog, custom digital, and standard cell design?
- How would you help customers migrate decades of intellectual property between design environments?
- How would you create products that make engineers dramatically more productive while improving design quality?
- How would you take breakthrough ideas from concept to deployment at the world's leading semiconductor companies?
That's what we do.
We're looking for people who are excited about solving difficult problems and making a meaningful impact. You'll work at the intersection of semiconductor design, AI, product strategy, and customer engagement. The ideal candidate understands complex design challenges, can translate customer needs into product requirements, and enjoys helping bring innovative technologies from concept to production.
Responsibilities
- Define product requirements and workflows for next-generation design automation solutions.
- Work directly with customers to understand challenges, identify opportunities, and validate proposed solutions.
- Drive product direction for technologies across analog design, standard cell design, custom digital implementation, design migration, and design automation.
- Partner closely with engineering teams to translate customer needs into product capabilities and deliverables.
- Define use cases, success metrics, benchmarks, and customer adoption strategies.
- Lead evaluations, demonstrations, customer engagements, and early-access deployments.
- Influence roadmap priorities based on market needs, customer feedback, and competitive analysis.
Requirements
- BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
- Experience in semiconductor design, EDA, or related technical fields.
- Experience defining solutions, workflows, or products that have been successfully delivered to users or customers.
- Experience applying automation, AI, machine learning, generative AI, or agentic AI technologies to engineering workflows.
- Strong understanding of one or more of the following domains:
- Analog and custom IC design
- Standard cell design and optimization
- Physical implementation
- Design migration and design reuse
- Semiconductor design automation
- Physical verification, extraction, and simulation workflows
- Experience working directly with customers to gather requirements and drive technology adoption.
- Strong communication, presentation, and collaboration skills.
- Ability to work effectively across product management, engineering, sales, and customer teams.
Preferred Experience
- Analog and custom IC design workflows.
- Circuit simulation, SPICE, and analog verification flows.
- DRC, LVS, parasitic extraction, and physical verification.
- OpenAccess-based design environments.
- Experience with commercial EDA platforms such as Cadence Virtuoso.
- Delivering software products used in production semiconductor design flows.
- Technical leadership and cross-functional collaboration.
We are looking for product leaders who are excited by emerging technology, enjoy solving complex problems, and want to help shape the future of semiconductor design. Success in this role requires a combination of technical depth, customer focus, business judgment, and the ability to turn innovative ideas into widely adopted solutions.
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.
