CAD Design Engineer

We are seeking a senior‑level, hands‑on CAD automation engineer to own and drive the design automation infrastructure that powers Cirrus Logic’s design teams.

In this role, you’ll play a pivotal part in shaping how designs get built—creating and evolving scalable, production‑ready automation solutions that boost productivity, streamline data management, and enforce consistent, reliable design flows.

You’ll collaborate closely with design engineers, CAD teams, and EDA vendors to architect robust automation frameworks, simplify project bring‑up, and enable smooth, efficient execution of complex design flows across multiple programs.

Your work will directly impact design velocity, quality, and repeatability at scale.

This role is ideal for engineers who are energized by eliminating workflow friction, building smart automation systems, and turning fragmented processes into clean, efficient, and reusable infrastructure.

If you enjoy combining software, methodology, and close collaboration to accelerate silicon development, this role gives you the platform—and ownership—to make a lasting impact.

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 and develop CAD automation infrastructure and workflows
• Design and implement Python-based automation tools for design flows and data processing
• Standardize and automate project setup, directory structures, and environment configuration
• Improve design productivity through automation of repetitive tasks and workflows
• Support design teams with tool usage, automation, and workflow optimization
• Integrate and customize EDA tools to support design requirements
• Collaborate with design teams to identify automation opportunities and implement solutions
• Develop and maintain regression and validation frameworks for flows and tools
• Manage design data, revision control, and release processes
• Work with IT on infrastructure to enable scalable job execution and resource utilization
• Interface with EDA vendors to resolve tool issues and drive longer-term automation and methodology improvements

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.
