At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.
Custom Layout Designer (Analog Layout Designer)
Join our team of layout designers creating challenging IP designs for the consumer, industrial, and automotive markets. Our designs are fabricated in the world’s leading edge silicon processes for companies ranging from large multinational companies to hot start-ups. Learn on-the-job how to apply your engineering background to create these robust high performance analog designs. Working with experienced skilled designers, you will be part of the design team using Cadence design tools. We are looking for a layout engineer capable of producing quality layouts of analog/mixed-signal circuit blocks, working in collaboration with circuit designers. Responsibilities include all facets of the back-end flow, from initial floor planning through detailed layout and final verification of conformance to foundry design rules.
The Cadence IP Group custom layout team develops and delivers a variety of high-quality high speed and high accuracy CMOS integrated circuits IP for several foundries and process nodes down to 5n and even below. We are deeply involved in finfet layout and even beyond (gate all-around).
As part of Cadence, the Cadence IP group custom layout team not only has access to all the current and future Cadence layout and verification tools, we also participate in the development and validation of the Cadence Virtuoso software, which the most used in the industry.
As a custom layout designer, you will be involved in:
- Implementing high speed and high accuracy cells, blocks and IP blocks in a timely fashion with high quality and efficiency
- Working with custom layout designers from groups all over the world to build high quality IP and testchips
- Working with circuit designers from groups all over the world to understand their technical and schedule needs
- Collaborating with the Cadence R&D teams (Virtuoso, PVS developers) to help develop the layout editing and verification tools
- BSEE, MSEE
- Exposure to microelectronics design and requirements
- Understanding of layout effects on the circuit such as speed, capacitance, power and area etc.,
- Knowledge of various analog layout techniques like matching, shielding etc.,
- Exposure to Cadence Virtuoso Layout and physical verification tools
- Team player, driven, self-motivated and autonomous
- Excellent communication, presentation and customer service skills

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.
