An EDA (Electronic Design Automation) job involves developing, maintaining, and optimizing software tools used for designing and verifying electronic circuits and systems. Professionals in this field work with hardware engineers to ensure efficient chip design, simulation, and testing processes. They typically have expertise in programming, circuit design, and semiconductor technology.
As an EDA engineer, you are primarily responsible for developing, customizing, and maintaining automation tools that support integrated circuit (IC) design, verification, and validation processes. You collaborate closely with design, verification, and CAD teams to implement tool flows, troubleshoot technical challenges, and ensure that the electronic design process runs smoothly and efficiently. A typical day might include scripting automation routines, validating design constraints, and participating in design reviews or technical meetings. By working cross-functionally, EDA engineers play a critical role in streamlining the design workflow, reducing manual errors, and accelerating time-to-market for new hardware products.
To thrive as an EDA (Electronic Design Automation) engineer, you need a solid background in electrical engineering, circuit design principles, and computer science, often backed by a relevant degree. Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools such as Cadence, Synopsys, or Mentor Graphics and proficiency in scripting languages like Python or TCL are highly valuable, along with any relevant certifications. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are essential soft skills for excelling in this field. These competencies are critical for ensuring high-quality electronic design, efficient workflows, and successful collaboration on complex engineering projects.

The Role and Impact
Join Intel's mission to engineer world-changing technology as an EDA Tools Hardware Engineer. We are seeking an experienced EDA CAD / Tool Flow Development Engineer to develop and maintain transistor-level timing characterization flows for custom IPs, embedded memories, SRAMs, register files, and compiler-generated macros across advanced semiconductor technologies.
This role focuses on characterization methodology, CAD infrastructure, automation, and model validation for complex custom macros and memory IPs. The engineer will work closely with custom circuit, memory design, STA, and methodology teams to enable scalable and silicon-accurate timing, power, and noise modeling flows.
The ideal candidate has strong expertise in SPICE-based characterization, Liberty model generation, custom macro timing behavior, and large-scale automation using industry-standard tools such as Synopsys NanoTime and Cadence Liberate.
Key Responsibilities
Develop, test, and analyze engineering design automation tools, flows, and methodologies to improve efficiency and optimize power and performance.
Collaborate with EDA vendors to define, evaluate, and test next-generation design tools and flows.
Create and verify unique hardware designs, integrating components into hierarchical systems to support end-to-end EDA tool testing for advanced technology nodes.
Define and enable methodologies for hardware development related to EDA tools and technology node advancements.
Support and enhance platforms, databases, scripts, and tools used for design automation.
Provide digital design, verification, full-chip integration, physical layout, power, performance, clocking, and timing for future TFM development.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field and 6+ years of relevant experience; OR
Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field and 4+ years of relevant experience; OR
PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field and 2+ years of relevant experience.
