Join Recogni, a leading AI inference acceleration company, as a Senior ASIC EDA Engineer. In this hands-on leadership role, you will spearhead the development and improvement of EDA tools, DevOps systems, and engineering workflows for our multimodal generative AI products. You will guide colleagues, optimize existing tools, and explore new technologies within a fast-paced, agile environment. This position requires extensive experience with ASIC design, EDA tool suites (Synopsys and/or Cadence), and DevOps practices. You will collaborate closely with the ASIC team to enhance their workflows and address their EDA needs. Recogni offers a supportive work environment and competitive compensation, including flexible spending and Bonusly awards.

Requirements

• 10+ years expert level knowledge of Linux system administration and familiarity with cloud-based devops (IaC, CaC, etc.), with experience in supporting EDA tools in a primarily cloud-based environment (as opposed to primarily on-premises)
• Experience leading the development and support for compilation, build automation, testing, packaging and installation project generators that build object files like either CMake, GNU make, and/or Ninja, as well as experience with CI/CD and modern Git Branching workflows
• Hands-on ASIC engineering experience, that includes knowledge of VLSI/SoC chip design and verification workflows, with ASIC EDA tool suites from Synopsys and/or Cadence, for physically-aware logic synthesis, RTL and gate-level simulation, structural analysis (CDC, RDC, etc.) and lint tools, ECO creation and LEC tools, and other commonly-used parts of the ASIC development ecosystem
• Programming and debugging skills with SystemVerilog as well as with key languages to automate tasks and improve efficiency like C/C++, Perl, TCL and Python, with experience developing tools for design verification scripting as well as HDL code generators and scripts for creating hard macros from higher level descriptions
• Prior work experience with onboarding and supporting ASIC engineers with EDA workflows, including installation of new tool versions, FlexLM license management, and debugging/fixing issues with EDA vendors
• Excellent analytical, written, and verbal interpersonal skills along with an ability to productively collaborate within a global engineering team that moves at a startup pace
• Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related technical field

Responsibilities

• Lead EDA tools, DevOps systems, and associated engineering workflow development for Recogni’s multimodal generative AI inference acceleration products
• Guide and assist colleagues to help improve and invent EDA workflows and DevOps systems within a fast-paced, agile HPC development environment that utilizes EDA tools from external companies like Cadence and as well as internally developed workflows
• Drive Recogni’s optimization, implementation and exploration of new EDA tools and technologies for the full ASIC chip design process
• Continuously innovate and improve scalable, reliable, high-performance systems and tools to enable the next generation of Recogni products
• Work very closely with your ASIC team members who are engaged in the design and verification of Recogni products, to understand and improve their workflows and EDA needs
