Analog Design Flow and Infrastructure Design Automation Manager

Overview

Lead the development, deployment and governance of analog/mixed-signal design environments and CAD infrastructure, owning EDA tool ecosystems, PDK integration, compute infrastructure, design data governance and tapeout manifest management.

What you'll do

• Own and maintain analog and mixed-signal design flows using platforms such as Virtuoso.
• Develop and maintain schematic, layout, verification and extraction flows (LVS, DRC).
• Support simulation environments including HSPICE and corner analysis.
• Drive automation and methodology improvements to reduce turnaround time and increase design robustness.
• Oversee Linux-based DA infrastructure including compute farms, storage systems and license servers (FlexLM).
• Manage LSF/grid environments and job scheduling systems.
• Ensure scalability, system monitoring, high availability and performance optimization.
• Partner with IT on hardware lifecycle planning, cloud integration and disaster recovery.
• Maintain secure, access-controlled design environments aligned with IP protection policies.
• Manage large-scale analog design libraries, hierarchical database structures and technology libraries.
• Define backup, archival and retention policies for tapeout-critical data.
• Implement data integrity validation and corruption prevention controls.
• Oversee distributed storage systems optimized for EDA workloads.
• Own creation and governance of tapeout manifests, including PDK versions, tool versions, extraction/verification decks, simulation models and signoff configurations.
• Establish reproducible environment release frameworks for analog programs.
• Implement controlled qualification flows for tool/PDK upgrades prior to production rollout.
• Maintain environment snapshots to ensure reproducibility and post-silicon traceability.
• Support formal tapeout readiness and design signoff reviews.
• Deploy and manage version control systems (Git, Cliosoft, SVN, Perforce) for CAD scripts and automation, methodology flows, PDK overlays and verification decks.
• Define branching, tagging and release strategies for multi-project and multi-node environments.
• Implement dependency tracking across tools, PDKs, IP and infrastructure.
• Apply infrastructure-as-code principles where applicable.
• Develop automated environment capture tools to log tool versions, library states and system configurations.
• Enable reproducible simulations and environment packaging.
• Create dashboards and reporting metrics for design data health and DA service KPIs.
• Lead and mentor DA and infrastructure engineers.
• Serve as the primary interface between analog design, digital CAD, IT and EDA vendors.
• Drive tool evaluations, upgrades and vendor negotiations.
• Develop internal documentation, training programs and best practices.
• Establish measurable service-level KPIs and continuously improve DA operations.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal design or CAD support.
• 5+ years of leadership experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with analog design platforms such as Virtuoso and p-cell development, Custom Compiler.
• Deep understanding of analog layout, verification flows, PDK integration and tapeout processes.
• Proven experience managing design data governance and tapeout manifest control.
• Strong Linux system administration and scripting skills (Python, Tcl, Shell, SKILL).
• Experience with compute grid management, storage architecture and license management.
• Expertise in version control and configuration management systems.

Nice to have

• Experience with advanced nodes (FinFET, GAA).
• Knowledge of CI/CD practices applied to EDA environments.
• Experience supporting geographically distributed design teams.

Details

• Location: India, Bangalore (Shift 1, India).
• Experienced hire.
• Hybrid work model: split time between on-site at the assigned Intel site and off-site.
