Proficiency with major EDA tools (Cadence, Siemens, Synopsys). Solid understanding of Linux/Unix systems and shared compute environments. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with high attention to detail. Nice to Have / Bonus Experience Experience with workload management systems (e.g. Slurm, LSF, SGE). Experience with containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Singularity, Kubernetes). Familiarity with build systems such as Bazel. Experience diagnosing and resolving network, storage, CPU, and memory bottlenecks across complex EDA workloads. Proficiency in modern scripting or software languages used for automation and infrastructure tooling. Soft & Professional Skills Clear, structured communication in professional English, with the ability to explain complex technical topics concisely. Collaborative, feedback-oriented mindset with a strong sense of ownership. Demonstrated ability to mentor and guide less-experienced engineers. Self-motivated, curious, and eager to explore new tools, methods, and technologies. High standards of integrity and professionalism when handling sensitive IP and infrastructure. OUR CULTURE We’re a fully remote team of around 25 people distributed across the UK, Armenia, Italy, the US, Estonia, India, and beyond. We believe great talent is everywhere! Our values are our north star: We Grow Together, We Win Together . Excellence Builds Relationships . Trust Is Our Currency . Results Matter, but People Create Them . Connected, even remotely: We invest intentionally in staying connected through regular all-hands, 1:1s, technical reviews, and informal coffee chats, so collaboration feels natural and human despite the distance. High ownership, real impact: Everyone contributes directly to customer-facing IP. Your work doesn’t disappear into layers of management – it ships. How we work: We move fast but thoughtfully, communicate openly, and balance autonomy with support. Technical decisions are debated openly and grounded in data, trade-offs, and first-principles thinking. WHY JOIN US Remote-first flexibility – work from anywhere, with flexible hours Equipment & setup – we’ll provide the tools you need to succeed High-impact projects – design real analog IP used in customer silicon Supportive team culture – a dedicated manager and a team of colleagues ready to help Competitive, transparent compensation – adjusted for your location and engagement model Learning & growth – AI–DLP sessions, technical deep dives, and peer-led knowledge sharing that build both technical depth and system-level perspective RECRUITMENT PROCESS Founder Call (30 min) – mutual introduction and interest alignment Technical Interview (60 min) – fundamentals, reasoning, and problem-solving Presentation (45 min) – short presentation on a topic of your choice, to assess clarity, structure, and confidence in presenting your work HR & Culture Call (45 min) – values, collaboration style, and ways of working Offer & Next Steps (30 min) – offer walkthrough, alignment on details, and next steps, discussed in a final call with the founder. If you don’t meet every requirement but feel excited about the role, apply anyway. We value curiosity, integrity, and potential as much as experience.
