At Cadence we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.
Junior Application Engineer FrontEnd Custom IC Application Engineer in Milan
The Cadence Applications Engineer (AE) role is a great opportunity to employ your strong technical skills to enable semiconductors companies adopting Cadence solutions and associated IC design methodologies. The Application Engineer will work with some of the most technically demanding IC design development solutions and leadingedge nanometers process technologies.
The AE is credible to articulate Cadence solutions with an emphasis on analog/mixedsignal/RF custom IC design platform and more specifically on the FrontEnd part (simulation environment & simulators).
In a customer facing and commercially sensitive working environment the AE is responsible for actively assisting Cadence customers and prospective customers during:
- Sales technical campaigns and product evaluations in resolving customers design challenges while promoting Cadence solutions value added benefits
- Adoption from concept to successful deployment of design flows and associated methodologies through design environment assessments.
- Direct a contribution to key customer design projects e.g. be responsible for driving Cadence IC tools for key tasks on these projects
The AE will develop skills to:
- Acquire strong technical understanding of the complete FrontEnd IC design/verification flow including the simulation environment and the simulators (analog RF MixedSignal FastSpice)
- Identifying and tracking technical issues in customers full custom IC design environment prioritize them taking account both the customers & Cadences needs. Drive their resolution within Cadence R&D
- Drive best practices and lessons learned from training deliveries tool benchmarks and customer interactions back into product development and Cadence AE community
- Identify technical gaps that prevent efficient use of the Cadence tools and put together sessions like workshops or Lunch & Learn to explain how to use the tool efficiently and close the gaps.
- Improve existing design methodologies and develop new methodologies leveraging ever evolving Cadence solutions and services.
- Develop a deep and trusting relationship with the customers design teams
- Be able to work independently to find solutions for the client while utilizing help from the Local European and global Cadence organization when needed.
- Be available to travel to different European locations for short periods
Requirement Experience Education
- MSc/MEng preferred in microelectronics engineering
- 1 to 3 years of work experience in the domain
- Understanding of analog design simulation flow (environment & simulators) using Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre platforms
- Experience on MixedSignal and/or RF simulation and verification is a plus
- Circuit Optimization and High Sigma design/verification knowledge is a plus
- PhD in relevant subjects will be positively evaluated
- Experience of UNIX environments; knowledge of SKILL C or other computer language(s)
- Good communication skills including good level in Italian and in English
- Some travels will be required: to visit customer offices in Italy or Europe and US Cadence sites.
