A few good engineers

Ciranova™ is looking for a few good engineers. If you can be a key contributor in one or more of the following areas then we want to hear from you. This is your opportunity to join a talented team at a new and exciting EDA company!

Please submit resumes with cover letters to: jobs_manager@ciranova.com


Senior Applications Engineers

These are senior technical/business positions working with customers to change the way the world does analog and mixed-signal design. You'll help customers evaluate and succeed with Ciranova products for automated IC design, and use your experience to work with Ciranova marketing and R+D to help drive the direction of the industry's most advanced AMS design software. The successful candidates will be part of the core product team, not just a turnkey sales function. If you'd like to work in a fast-paced environment, with a hot product, and an R+D team that responds quickly to customer needs, then come work with us.

Sr FAE (1)

  • Strong aptitude to build successful relationships with customers
  • Understanding of basic device layout and familiarity with scripting (TCL, Python, SKILL)
  • Good knowledge of advanced CMOS processes and DRC decks
  • Some understanding of emerging DFM and DFY techniques
  • Direct experience creating PCells, or enthusiasm to learn
  • BSEE or CS or equivalent, and several years EDA/semiconductor industry experience

Sr FAE (2)

  • Strong aptitude to build successful relationships with customers
  • Familiarity with analog circuit design and layout techniques
  • Experience with Cadence Virtuoso
  • BSEE or equivalent; MSEE preferred, and at least 3 years industry experience

Software Engineering

C++, object-oriented design and OpenAccess are at the center of all software development activities at Ciranova. Python is Ciranova’s extension language of choice. All Ciranova programming interfaces are exposed to users through Python.

Software Engineer: GUI design and development

You will participate in the design and development of graphical user interface tools that are part of Ciranova's physical design environment for custom IC circuits. You will join a small yet very talented team of engineers that focuses on all of the user interface aspects of the Ciranova system.

Software Engineer: Physical Design Tools

You will join a team of engineers that works on designing and implementing the core technology behind Ciranova's innovative technology that help design and implement physical implementation of Custom IC circuits. Knowledge of physical design algorithms, computational geometry and physical design infrastructure is very important for this position.

CAD Engineers: Parameterized Cells

You will join a small cadre of engineers who are pioneering the creation of the next generation of parameterized cells for Analog and Custom Digital design. You will be using Ciranova's advanced PyCell™ development methodology, applying object-oriented design techniques, writing sophisticated device implementations using a modern programming language like Python. There are a very few of you out there and we'd like you to join our team.

Operations: Systems Administration

You will be working with a strong team of software engineers building and maintaining the backbone of a software product development enterprise. Our software works on multiple flavors of Unix (Linux, Solaris, 32 bit, 64 bit, etc.), Mac OSX, and Microsoft Windows. The business side of the company is Windows based. While we are a small company we expect you to be at the center of all systems-related activity for business and product development.


Important note to staffing firms and recruiters

Ciranova does not accept unsolicited agency candidates. We partner with agencies when necessary to fill specific job openings. We will pay a fee only if we have a signed, current recruiting agreement in place with an agency, and only if that agency presents a candidate to us after we have requested the agency in writing to present candidates for a specific job opening. Ciranova will not pay fees for unsolicited candidates submitted via the contact methods on this web site, or to any Ciranova employee directly, whether in person or by verbal referral, telephone, mail, email, fax or any other means. Ciranova explicitly reserves the right to contact and hire any candidate submitted in the absence of both a signed agreement and a written request, without any financial obligation to the recruiter or agency. No Ciranova employee has any authority to modify the terms of this notice, or to waive the requirement that a written agreement must be in place prior to submitting candidates.
XPyCell
Universal OpenAccess PCells, created using Ciranova's PyCell Studio software. PyCells are authored using the popular Python programming language, hence the name.
XAMS
Analog/Mixed Signal
XPyros Layout Viewer
A component of Ciranova's PyCell Studio software. The Pyros Layout Viewer can open any OpenAccess block, select layout objects for examination, and manipulate PyCell parameters. Pyros also includes a built-in design rule checker that allows users to check the layout interactively.
