Cadence Design Systems is an American software company founded in 1988 that supplies the electronic design automation tools engineers use to design and verify integrated circuits. Its products cover digital synthesis and place-and-route, custom and analogue design, circuit simulation with the Spectre and Virtuoso families, functional verification, and increasingly system-level analysis for packaging, thermal behaviour and computational fluid dynamics. Headquartered in San Jose and listed on Nasdaq, it also licenses design intellectual property such as processor and interface blocks, and competes primarily with Synopsys and Siemens EDA.
At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

- Collaborate closely with global R&D teams to deliver and optimize technical solutions
- Guide customers to success by providing high-quality technical support and troubleshooting solutions
- Contribute to methodology development, knowledge sharing, and best-practice standardization
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or above in Microelectronics, Electrical Engineering, or related fields
- Experience in at least one of the following areas:
- Low-power design or verification (UPF/CPF/Power-aware verification)
- RTL design or verification (SystemVerilog/UVM preferred)
- Solid understanding of:
- SoC architecture and digital design principles
- Power management techniques (Power domains, Isolation, Retention, DVFS, etc.)
- Strong problem-solving and debugging skills in complex systems
- Good communication skills in English (both verbal and written), able to work in a global environment
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Palladium/Protium/hardware emulation platforms
- Familiarity with EDA tools and verification flows
