At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.
We offer amazing opportunities to grow, no matter where you are in your career.
Cadence’s Genus Synthesis Solution is a product which takes a high-level description of a microchip – that is expressions of the form “x = (a + b) × (a – b)” or “y = c + (s ? d – e : 0)” – and synthesizes all the NAND, NOR, XOR, etc. gates needed to build the circuit. Since there are many possible circuits that will achieve the same results, Genus works hard to find a solution which is best for maximizing clock speed, minimizing chip size and/or reducing power – depending on the users’ requirements.
The algorithms owned by the Genus Clock Gating Team sit at the beginning of this process and operate directly on fundamental mux structure, moving logic from the data path to the clock path. Effective clock gating can reduce data path logic depth and area, while simultaneously reducing clock tree and register power by preventing unnecessary clock toggles. There is a huge opportunity in this space to innovate and deliver significant value to our customers.
We are looking for a highly motivated software engineer to join us as a member of the R&D staff. You will be part of a team responsible for creating the innovative technologies required for technology leadership in this space. Development responsibilities include designing, developing, troubleshooting, debugging, and supporting the Genus software product. The team is based in Cambridge, UK, but works with many colleagues globally.
Be proud and passionate about the work you do. Together, our One Cadence -- One Team culture drives our success.
We’re doing work that matters. Help us solve what others can’t. Cadence plays a critical role in creating the technologies that modern life depends on. We are a global electronic design automation company, providing software, hardware, and intellectual property to design advanced semiconductor chips that enable our customers create revolutionary products and experiences.
Thanks to the outstanding caliber of the Cadence team and the empowering culture that we have cultivated for over 25 years, Cadence continues to be recognized by Fortune Magazine as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For. Our shared passion for solving the world’s toughest technical challenges, our dedication to pushing the limits of the industry, and our drive to do meaningful work differentiates the people of Cadence.
Cadence is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, status as a veteran, basis of disability, or any other protected class.
