The role combines hands-on CAD engineering with responsibility for compute infrastructure, Perforce/IPLM-based design data management, project/workspace methodologies, automation, documentation, training and engineering support. The successful candidate will work closely with engineering, CAD and infrastructure teams to develop scalable solutions for managing semiconductor design environments and design data across globally distributed engineering teams. ### Key Responsibilities Compute Infrastructure & Engineering Environments Provide technical leadership for engineering compute infrastructure and CAD environments. Support the development and evolution of globally consistent Linux-based engineering environments. Define requirements for compute, storage and supporting engineering infrastructure. Work with IT/IS and engineering teams to ensure infrastructure meets semiconductor design requirements. Support migration and consolidation of legacy engineering environments. Troubleshoot complex infrastructure and engineering-environment issues. Perforce & IPLM Provide technical ownership and expertise for Perforce Helix and IPLM-based design-data-management methodologies. Support Perforce/IPLM integration with EDA tools and engineering environments. Develop methodologies for IP creation, versioning, release, reuse and lifecycle management. Develop scalable approaches for managing both analog and digital design data. Define data-management best practices and help engineering projects adopt them. Project & Workspace Management Develop and support standardized project and workspace environments. Support project configuration, EDA tool configuration, environment variables and Cadence setup. Create reusable methodologies for project creation and onboarding. Improve consistency between engineering projects while allowing appropriate project-specific configuration. Automation & Scripting Develop automation for engineering environment and data-management workflows. Create and maintain Python and shell-based utilities. Reduce manual project setup and administration through automation. Improve the reliability, maintainability and scalability of CAD infrastructure processes. Legacy Data & Environment Migration Develop methodologies for migrating engineering data from legacy infrastructures. Support transitions from existing data-management platforms to strategic solutions based around Perforce/IPLM. Assist engineering teams moving projects, design data and methodologies between environments. Maintain appropriate support for legacy environments during transition. Documentation, Training & User Adoption Develop and maintain technical documentation, user guides and engineering best practices. Create and deliver training for engineering compute and design-data-management environments. Support onboarding of projects and engineering teams. Provide expert-level escalation support for complex CAD and data-management issues. Capture specialist knowledge in maintainable documentation and repeatable processes. Technical Strategy Contribute to the roadmap for engineering compute and design-data-management infrastructure. Evaluate new technologies and methodologies for engineering data management. Work across CAD, engineering and IS organizations to establish sustainable ownership boundaries. Help move engineering environments toward standardized, scalable and globally supportable solutions. ## Qualifications ### Required Skills & Experience Significant experience in EDA/CAD engineering, semiconductor design infrastructure or engineering compute environments. Strong Linux/Unix knowledge. Strong understanding of engineering compute, storage and data-management environments. Experience with Perforce Helix (P4) or comparable enterprise version-control/data-management technologies. Methodics IPLM or equivalent IP lifecycle-management experience. Experience with semiconductor EDA workflows. Strong Python and/or shell scripting skills. Experience supporting complex engineering project environments. Excellent troubleshooting and root-cause-analysis skills. Ability to work effectively across engineering and IT/infrastructure organizations. Strong documentation and technical communication skills. ### Highly Desirable Perforce administration and architecture experience. Cadence/Virtuoso knowledge. Understanding of analog and digital semiconductor development flows. Experience migrating from DesignSync/Synchronicity, Cliosoft/SOS or other legacy DM platforms. Experience with large-scale Linux compute environments. Experience developing CAD methodology and engineering automation. Experience delivering technical training to engineering teams. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 23, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 26, 2026 - Last checked: Nov 2, 2026 - Listed for: 10 days - Location: Austin, TX, United States - Employment type: Full-time[Apply on Renesas Electronics’s careers site →](https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/RenesasElectronics/744000157394689-principal-eda-engineer) ## Hiring at Renesas Electronics - Open jobs: 774 - New in the last 7 days: After two weekly collections - Tracked since: Oct 12, 2026 [All Renesas Electronics jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/) · [Weekly hiring report](/reports/hiring/) ## More jobs at Renesas Electronics ### [Principal FPGA Emulation Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/db6d435f43fe4af0490d/) Austin, TX, United States ### [Senior Manager Analog Engineering](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/882b8c2fda5b2593acaf/) Austin, TX, United States ### [Senior Staff CAD Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/58c5cfd45348305463bc/) Austin, TX, United States ### [Physical Design Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/9d397a8741322c02392e/) Austin, TX, United States ### [Principal Package Design Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/7b54cdd0b091c856232f/) Austin, TX, United States ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [EDA/CAD SW Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/qualcomm/jobs/12c190149c61c499ea1f/) Qualcomm · San Diego, California, United States of America ### [Intern Software Engineer / Agent Engineer - EDA - Austin 2027](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ibm/jobs/c7ecda7fc1c04a3b7d9d/) IBM · Austin, TX ### [EDA Customer Success Application Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/keysight-technologies/jobs/1b5da8dff90260b60ccb/) Keysight Technologies · Denver, Colorado ### [CAD/EDA Tools Automation Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/intel/jobs/1f00c7b03e4ef0e37a84/) Intel · US, Oregon, Hillsboro OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
