About the Role

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

We are looking for engineers with strong algorithmic foundations and a passion for building highly scalable C/C++ solutions to work on the core Static Timing Analysis (STA) engine.


The role involves designing, tuning, and innovating timing and graph algorithms operating on multi‑billion‑node timing graphs. These scale challenges require highly distributed, incremental, and parallel solutions, including opportunities to leverage GPU acceleration for performance‑critical workloads.

At advanced technology nodes, incorporating device variation and statistical modeling into the timing engine introduces additional complexity. Candidates with experience or strong interest in statistical timing, variation modeling, or large‑scale numerical algorithms are preferred.
