CAD Analog Simulation Engineer - TC-50021286

The Role:

What You’ll Own & Create

This isn’t a maintenance job—this is where you architect smarter workflows, champion new design methodologies, and elevate how an entire organization designs silicon.

You will:

Own the analog and mixed-signal simulation tools and flows used across design teams, serving as the go‑to technical authority 

Define, build, and evolve simulation signoff methodology and criteria that teams rely on for confident design decisions

Ensure simulation flows deliver trusted, repeatable, production‑quality results that accurately predict silicon behavior

Lead cross‑team alignment and consensus on simulation tools, methodologies, and best practices

Partner directly with foundry teams to validate, qualify, and continuously improve SPICE models

Collaborate with EDA vendors to drive tool fixes, enhancements, evaluations, and roadmap influence

Work hands‑on with design teams to debug simulation accuracy, convergence, and performance challenges

Own post‑layout simulation flows, including DSPF integration, regressions, and correlation strategies

Establish and propagate consistent simulation methodologies and best practices across all analog design teams

Architect and create next‑generation analog simulation flows and infrastructure from the ground up

Analyze waveforms, results, and large datasets to uncover issues, trends, and opportunities to improve methodology and predictability

Optimize simulation performance at scale, improving runtime, throughput, and license utilization across shared compute environments

You won’t just support design—you’ll amplify it. Your tools will accelerate silicon development, unlock new capabilities, streamline workflows, and enable Cirrus Logic engineers to do their best work at scale.

Skills You’ll Bring to the Team

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, with 5+ years of hands‑on experience supporting design CAD or EDA tools in a production environment
Deep, practical expertise in analog SPICE simulation using Cadence Spectre, including SOA checks and the full ADE simulation environmentStrong command of analog simulation domains—DC, AC, transient, noise, and statistical analysis—along with proven techniques for convergence tuning and numerical stability
Hands-on experience designing, building, and supporting simulation flows within the Cadence Virtuoso environment
Strong working knowledge of the Cadence OpenAccess (OA) environment, including flow integration and customizationExperience working with revision control systems, enabling disciplined development, traceability, and scalable collaboration
Solid understanding of CMOS analog processes, combined with direct experience testing, validating, and correlating SPICE modelsClear, effective communication skills with the ability to collaborate across design, CAD, foundry, and vendor teams in a team‑oriented environment
