Develop constraint-driven placement and routing algorithms for analog circuit design. Implement software solutions that capture layout intent, matching requirements, and parasitic constraints 
 
Build scientific software packages and frameworks for hardware design automation 
 
Create custom hardware description libraries, frameworks, and domain-specific languages 
 
Develop web-based interfaces and visualization tools to enhance designer productivity 
 
Preferred Qualifications 
 
Expert-level proficiency in Python and/or C++ 
 
Strong background in object-oriented programming (OOP) and software architecture design 
 
Experience with computational geometry, constraint solvers, or optimization algorithms 
 
Knowledge of event-driven programming and system-level simulation frameworks 
 
Understanding of analog layout principles (matching, shielding, parasitics, DRC/LVS) and EDA tool APIs and file formats (LEF/DEF, GDSII, OpenAccess) 
 
Experience developing web applications (e.g., Flask, React) and designing frontend user interfaces
