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 and talented SoC Design Manager to lead a new team for CSG systems. In this role, you will be responsible for managing a team of hardware design engineers to develop and validate 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 implement reference designs on emulation systems and support applications for product demonstrations.

This is a hands-on management role that requires technical expertise in implementing SoC and compute-based systems. The role requires good experience in management, project planning, and quality development. You will work closely with compute and interface IP development engineering, and build designs to demonstrate the capabilities of CSG subsystems and components.
