From chip-to-chip optical interconnects to scalable photonic engines, Lumilens is unlocking a new era of computing faster, cooler, and massively more efficient.\nWe’re a well-funded startup backed by Mayfield and led by industry’s veterans who’ve built and scaled some of the most transformative technologies in the industry. This isn’t incremental innovation, it’s a ground-floor opportunity to rethink the optical layer from the silicon up. You’ll work alongside a team of world-class engineers solving some of the hardest challenges in optics, systems, and scale. Every line of code, every design decision, every breakthrough you help deliver will shape the infrastructure of tomorrow. \nIf you're looking for mission, momentum, and the chance to make an outsized impact jump on the rocket ship. We’re just getting started.\nPOSITION OVERVIEW\nWe are seeking an experienced EDA & CAD Manager to build and manage a robust design environment that supports multiple disciplines of IC designers across Lumilens. This role will own critical EDA methodology, CAD flows, design infrastructure, tool administration, and automation that enable faster, more reliable silicon development. You will partner closely with IC design, IT, and engineering leadership to strengthen our foundation, scale our tool environment, and improve the pace and quality of development across multiple programs.\nWhat You'll Do:\nSupport IC design and IT leadership with EDA tool upgrades, infrastructure improvements, and methodology enhancements across analog, mixed-signal design, layout and verification, and digital design and verification environments.\n\nManage repositories for PDKs, internal and external IP, design data, and tools from multiple vendors, ensuring configuration control, reliability, and ease of adoption for engineering users.\n\nAdvise design and IT leadership on future planning, EDA methodology improvements, design environment scalability, and infrastructure investments that support rapid growth.\n\nDevelop, deploy, and maintain custom tools, scripts, automation, and plug-ins that improve designer productivity and are easily adopted across teams.\n\nSupport CAD flows integrating tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Pegasus, Genus, Innovus, Xcelium, Synopsys IC compiler, Siemens EDA, Calibre and related verification and signoff infrastructure.\n\nMaintain and troubleshoot EDA infrastructure, including Linux and Unix environments, compute-farm integration, environment modules, tool-version management, license servers, and interactions between EDA applications and engineering infrastructure.\n\nBuild and support automated regression, validation, build, and deployment pipelines for EDA tools, design flows, and CAD environments.\n\nStay current with advancements in EDA tools, CAD methodologies, license management, IP management, and design infrastructure relevant to Lumilens’ technical goals.\n\nWhat You'll Bring:\nDeep understanding of Cadence/Synopsys tool flows, including analog and mixed-signal design tools such as Virtuoso, AMS, and Spectre.\n\nHands-on experience with layout and signoff tools such as PVS, Pegasus, and Calibre, as well as synthesis, APR, and physical design tools such as Genus, Innovus and Fusion Compiler.\n\nExperience supporting multiple PDKs simultaneously, with familiarity with Intel, TSMC and GlobalFoundries preferred.\n\nStrong experience with revision control, repository administration, and methodology recommendations using systems such as Perforce, VersIC, Git, or similar tools.\n\nExperience managing internal and external IP, design data, PDK releases, and tool environments across multiple vendors and engineering teams.\n\nStrong scripting and automation skills using Python, Perl, Tcl, Bash/Shell, and SKILL, including automation of EDA flows, tool setup, regression runs, log parsing, environment configuration, and design-data processing.\n\nExperience administering and troubleshooting FlexNet/FlexLM license environments, including license-server configuration, lmstat/lmutil diagnostics, feature availability, checkout failures, queueing, utilization monitoring, and vendor-daemon issues.\n\nStrong Linux and Unix troubleshooting skills, including LSF, Slurm, or Grid Engine compute-farm integration, environment modules, tool-version management, and debugging interactions between EDA tools, compute infrastructure, and license servers.\n\nDemonstrated history of solving complex problems for EDA users and improving the reliability, usability, and scalability of design environments.\n\nNice-to-Haves:\nExperience supporting remote computing environments such as ETX.\n\nExperience supporting engineering teams across multiple international locations.\n\nSome degree of systems administration ability across Linux, storage, compute, and engineering infrastructure environments.\n\nExperience with build systems such as Make, GNU Make, CMake, and custom Makefile-based flows, including build dependencies, environment setup, and reproducible EDA/CAD workflows.\n\nExperience with CI/CD and regression infrastructure such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or GitHub Actions, including automated regression, validation, build, and deployment pipelines for EDA tools and design flows.\n\nWhy Join Us?\nCompetitive salary commensurate with experience\nComprehensive benefits package including health insurance\nProfessional development opportunities and certification support\nAccess to cutting-edge technology and cloud platforms\nCollaborative work environment with cross-functional teams\nLumilens is an equal opportunity employer.
