Siemens Digital Industries Software - Transform the everyday.

Let's make the difference together!

Siemens EDA is a global technology leader in Electronic Design Automation software. Our software tools enable companies around the world to develop highly innovative electronic products faster and more cost-effectively. Our customers use our tools to push the boundaries of technology and physics to deliver better products in the increasingly complex world of chip, board, and system design.

We offer a role with responsibility, independence and the possibility to contribute proactive. We foster a teamwork culture with room for individual development

Siemens EDA, is looking for a research and development engineer to design, and implement algorithm-centric solutions in the high-level synthesis. The role is for industry leading high level synthesis tool – Catapult-C which takes ANSI C/C++ and SystemC inputs and generates register transfer level (RTL) code targeted to FPGAs and ASICs. 

Catapult–C tool is used by top hardware design companies for designing cutting edge semiconductor chip design in automotive/machine learning/wireless design/video and image processing etc.  

These are exciting times in our space - we are growing fast and working on ambitious new initiatives. We are looking for passionate engineers for working in our back-end synthesis engineering team.  

This is a green field opportunity to create an industry first solution targeting incremental optimizations in high level synthesis. This key technology piece will create a long-lasting impact on how digital design for future chips will be done at higher abstraction. 

The role is a hybrid role located for our Munich or Grenoble office. For a real strong candidate with relevant background, who is flexible to travel we can consider option for a fully remote position. 

In the role you will work on cutting edge research and complex algorithmic design problems for Catapult – C.
