This is a unique opportunity to join the rapidly growing team in the design IP Group at Cadence Design Systems. We are looking for a Lead Product Engineer who will be a key contributor to our advanced high speed SerDes IP products.
This is a hands-on customer facing technical position
Main Job Tasks and Responsibilities:
- Engage with IP customers to review high speed Serdes IP integration guidelines, provide integration training and recommendations to customer
- Help customers resolve IP integration issues including floorplan, functional and DFT simulations, timing closure, physical design verification, signal & power integrity with package/board, etc.
- Conduct design integration reviews on customers’ major SoC design milestones through tape-out
- Provide critical feedback to R&D team on design collateral defects, IP functional or performance issues, and feature improvement. Help on future specifications for advanced high-speed Serdes IP products
- Generate technical specifications, datasheets, and application notes of Serdes IP product
Position Requirements:
- M.S. Electrical/Computer Engineering (or similar degree)
- 4+ years of high performance ASIC/SOC design and integration experience
- Familiar with SOC full chip integration design flows and issues, especially with integrating Serdes or other mixed-signal PHY IPs
- Strong ability to analyze and resolve IP integration issues related to RTL, verification simulation, physical design, CAD tools and design flows
- Knowledge and experience with SOC design tools such as Digital and Analog simulations, static timing analysis, physical verification, etc.
- Knowledge and experience with advanced process technology nodes (7nm and below)
- Knowledge of high-speed Serdes and serial link architecture, design and performance matrix highly preferred
- Proficient in automation scripting tools like Perl or others
- Knowledge with package/board signal integrity and power integrity for high speed Serdes links a plus

Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
