At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology. Cadence Design Systems is a world leader in providing computational software for all aspects of intelligent system design. Your role will be to bring machine learning/AI expertise to a cross-disciplinary R&D team working on the emerging boundary of scientific computing and machine learning/AI.

The candidate should have a PhD in computer science / applied mathematics / computational physics / electrical engineering and the following preferred skills:
- Demonstrated expertise in theory and practice of neural networks / deep learning with working knowledge of contemporary topics (graph neural networks, attention mechanisms, transformer networks, reinforcement and transfer learning, etc.) Facility with classical methods of statistical inference
- Demonstrated ability to reduce algorithms and theoretical knowledge to practice and produce innovative research results
- Demonstrated programming proficiency in Python/C++.

Familiarity with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Julia. Strong computer science background is a plus. Familiarity with recent research trends in physics-informed machine learning e.g. physics-informed neural networks, neural operator theory, DeepONets is a plus. Exposure to one or more application areas in scientific computing (computational electromagnetics, fluid dynamics, molecular dynamics, thermal analysis, electrical circuit simulation) and/or computational physics is a plus.

Candidate should expect to work with a cross-functional engineering team to perform cutting-edge research but ultimately deliver innovative technologies in a production environment. We’re doing work that matters. Help us solve what others can’t.
