Si CAD CI CD Automation Engineer

Ericsson • Austin, TX

7d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Silicon CAD CI/CD Automation Engineer will develop, deploy, and maintain scalable automation frameworks, CI/CD infrastructure, and engineering workflows supporting large-scale ASIC IP and SoC development. The role architects and scales automated design and verification workflows using modern software engineering practices, CI/CD methodologies, and tools such as Jenkins, GitLab, Gerrit, Python, and Linux-based development environments.

The engineer will apply and evaluate AI-assisted approaches to improve engineering productivity, workflow automation, failure analysis, regression triage, pipeline optimization, resource utilization, debugging, and CAD workflow management. The position supports Ericsson Silicon engineering, which develops ASICs and FPGAs for the company’s 5G telecommunications product portfolio. This is an on-site, hybrid position in Austin, Texas and is not a remote-work opportunity.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, with 10+ years of experience.
• Demonstrated experience developing and supporting automation infrastructure for ASIC IP, ASIC SoC, or semiconductor development environments.
• Expert knowledge of CI/CD methodologies using Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, Gerrit, Git workflows, and automated quality gates.
• Extensive experience developing automation solutions using Python, shell scripting, and Linux-based infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of software engineering best practices, including version control, code review, automated testing, and release management.
• Experience with distributed build systems, regression management, job scheduling, and compute farm utilization.
• Experience building engineering dashboards, metrics frameworks, and development analytics solutions.
• Strong interest in AI-driven engineering automation, particularly for workflow optimization, failure analysis, regression management, and silicon development infrastructure.

Nice To Haves

• Knowledge of ASIC and SoC development flows spanning RTL design, verification, synthesis, and implementation environments.
• Knowledge of integrating EDA tools and development flows, including simulation, lint, CDC, synthesis, verification, and regression environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for silicon development workflows, including automated builds, regressions, testing, and quality validation.
• Develop and maintain scalable automation solutions integrating source control systems, code review platforms, EDA tools, and engineering workflows.
