Principal EDA Engineer

About The Role and Team

The IC Team is responsible for the design and test of the integrated circuits which operate at deep cryogenic temperatures and interact with the qubits. This role is a unique chance to work at the bleeding edge of technology development, developing new innovative circuits to tackle the engineering challenge of implementing a large scale quantum computer in silicon. You will be a key part of a multidisciplinary team, and will be involved in all the aspects of IC design cycle from initial concept to volume production.

As a Principal EDA Engineer you will be supporting design teams primarily working with a design flow. It's an analogue flow using commercial PDK's but with internally developed add ons to customise processes. You'll work alongside other EDA support engineers, as the team grow and expand their remit.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to be an early employee at a start up shaping the future of quantum computing. There are vast opportunities for professional growth and to make an impact within the company.

Our team of 100+ is based across London, Oxford, San Sebastián and Sydney, with our primary hub in Islington (London).

Functions of the Role

The role responsibilities include:

• Responsible for developing and maintaining all EDA environments within the company.
• Managing the EDA team resources across multiple projects and teams.
• Work alongside the design and layout engineers in the tape out flow ensuring the quality of the submitted GDS.
• Managing the interface with the foundry for ASIC fabrication flows.
• Supporting the design teams providing technical expertise on tools usage and workflows.
• Developing scripts to automate and improve design processes.
• Debugging EDA issues including raising support tickets with tool vendors.

Experience - Essentials

• 15y+ of experience supporting the delivery of CMOS ASICs in advanced PDKs.
• Demonstrated experience interfacing foundry/aggregators with solid understanding of the fabrication deliveries and sign off criteria.
• Proficiency with
