Lead Design Engineer at Cadence Design Systems, BANGALORE

Lead Design Engineer at Cadence Design Systems in BANGALORE. Full-time. Apply with swipeandhired.

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.
About the Role
We are looking for a Lead Design Engineer to provide hands-on execution across Synthesis, LEC, CLP, and UPF/power-intent flows for advanced ASIC/SoC designs. This role is execution-focused with growing ownership: debugging synthesis and LEC issues independently, contributing to CLP sign-off, and writing constraints and ECO scripts, while working closely with the Team on complex escalations.
Key Responsibilities

• Run and debug LEC sign off on design blocks; investigate and resolve NEQs and constraint mismatches
• Work on Genus synthesis runs to improve QoR, debug SDC/constraint issues.
• Support CLP flows
• Write and maintain ECO scripts and timing/power constraints for design blocks
• Independently triage and document issues, escalating complex or systemic issues as needed.
• Collaborate with PD, DFT, and RTL teams to resolve cross-functional issues affecting synthesis/LEC/CLP closure
• Prepare clear status updates and technical summaries for internal tracking

Required Skills

• 4–7 years of hands-on experience in ASIC synthesis, LEC, and/or low-power verification flows
• Working knowledge of Cadence Genus and Conformal (LEC and/or CLP)
• Familiarity with UPF/CPF-based power intent (IEEE 1801)
• Scripting proficiency in Tcl, Perl, or Python; comfortable in Unix/Linux based environments.
• Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, STA basics, and low-power architecture concepts
• Strong communication skills and ability to work independently on assigned blocks
