At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

The Cadence Compute Systems Group (CSG) develops and licenses IP for system designs. This includes CPUs and high-performance DSPs, DDR and IO controllers, hardware accelerators, and subsystems. Our IP designs are used by most of the top semiconductor vendors today, and our customers are shipping billions of chips annually using our components.

The CSG Central Applications Engineering team seeks an experienced, motivated technical manager to lead a new software team for CSG systems. You will lead a team implementing reference systems for Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Radar, Automotive, and other high-performance applications. This is a technically rewarding role with high visibility within the organization. The team is responsible for supporting customers of CSG subsystems. The group will also develop software and applications for reference systems and product demonstrations, highlighting the capability of CSG subsystems and components. This is a hands-on role, working with compute and interface IP, device drivers and RTOS, communication libraries and APIs, reference designs, boards, and emulation systems.

This position requires technical expertise in developing complex software for embedded, real-time, and multiprocessor systems. The role also requires good experience in group management, project planning, and quality software development. You will work closely with Cadence R&D engineering, marketing, partners, and customers.

Key Responsibilities

Recruit, train, and manage a strong team of software developers.

Develop reference applications to showcase Cadence IP and subsystems. Participate in trade shows and customer meetings as required. Typical applications address Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Automotive, and Audio verticals.

Develop reference designs on different hardware targets, collateral, and training material for CSG system customers. Build and train an organization to support users.

Port and integrate CSG software components for reference systems and platforms, and create development SDK for partners and customers.

Develop at all levels of device software for IO interfaces like HDMI, PCIe, and UCIe on embedded systems with and without OSes.

Coordinate with partners to integrate 3rd party components and applications with CSG systems.

What we are looking for in a Candidate

Exceptional management and communication skills.

Expert C coder. Proficiency in Python, Perl, or C++ is a plus.

Hands-on experience writing low-level software for embedded processors, like ARM.

Hands-on experience writing driver software for interfaces and peripherals such as HDMI, USB, PCIe, and Ethernet.

Hands-on experience in creating embedded Linux distributions.

Bonus points for experience in porting, linking and debugging embedded software and drivers.

BS in EE/CS with 10+ years work experience, or MS in EE/CS with 8+ years experience.

Be able to travel locally and/or internationally (up to 15% of time) for business needs.

We’re doing work that matters. Help us solve what others can’t.
