Full job description
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
EDA ENGINEER (RFIC ENGINEERING)
At SpaceX we’re leveraging our experience in building rockets and spacecraft to deploy Starlink, the world’s most advanced broadband internet system. Starlink is the world’s largest satellite constellation and is providing fast, reliable internet to millions of users worldwide. We design, build, test, and operate all parts of the system – thousands of satellites, consumer receivers that allow users to connect within minutes of unboxing, and the software that brings it all together. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of Starlink’s potential global impact and are looking for best-in-class engineers to help maximize Starlink’s utility for communities and businesses around the globe.
We are seeking a motivated, hands-on, proactive, and intellectually curious EDA Engineer to help support and improve the IC design environment used by silicon design, layout, verification, physical design, and methodology teams. The role focuses on keeping EDA tools reliable, PDK and flow usage reproducible, and designers productive across analog/RF/mixed-signal and digital silicon workflows.
This is a growth-oriented role for an engineer with strong fundamentals in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, Linux, scripting, or IC design tools. The engineer will partner design teams, other EDA engineers, IT/server teams, foundries, and EDA vendors to triage production issues, improve tool flows, build lightweight automation, maintain documentation, and convert repeated support issues into reusable methodology.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Support day-to-day EDA/CAD workflows for RFIC and silicon engineering teams, including tool launch, environment setup, PDK usage, simulation, physical verification, extraction, and related Linux workflows
Support analog/RF/mixed-signal specific flows (Virtuoso, Spectre, EM tools, etc.) in addition to digital and physical verification flows
Assist with PDK installation, qualification, version tracking, release notes, and deployment support for supported foundry processes
Triage DRC, LVS, PEX, simulation, EM, license, HPC, and environment issues using reproducible debug practices: command, log path, tool version, PDK version, run directory, expected result, actual result, and reproduce status
Maintain and improve tool launch wrappers, setup scripts, environment modules, path configuration, project templates, and onboarding material
Build lightweight automation in Python, Tcl, SKILL, shell, Perl, Makefile, or similar languages for log collection, preflight checks, license/tool health checks, regression reporting, and recurring issue reduction
Create and run targeted QA tests for PDK updates, tool upgrades, wrapper changes, vendor patches, and flow changes before broad deployment
Maintain clear runbooks and Confluence documentation for common EDA flows, including DRC/LVS/PEX debug, Cadence/Virtuoso setup, simulation setup, HPC job submission, license issues, and common user errors
Partner with design, layout, verification, physical design, IT/HPC, foundry, and EDA vendor teams to resolve blocked flows and improve methodology robustness
Identify recurring support patterns and help convert one-off fixes into durable flow changes, documentation, automation, or vendor/IT escalations
Support configuration-management and data-management workflows, such as Perforce, Cliosoft, or similar systems, as needed for silicon design teams
Contribute to modern EDA workflow improvements, including AI-assisted log triage, rule-deck validation, issue classification, signoff reporting, and designer self-service tools under senior guidance
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science
2+ years of experience in EDA/CAD support, IC design flow development, silicon design, physical verification, verification infrastructure, and/or CAD automation
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
Master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a related technical field; or equivalent practical experience
Hands-on experience using or supporting at least one major EDA flow, such as Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre, Siemens Calibre, Synopsys/Cadence digital tools, Keysight ADS, EMX/HFSS, or similar tools
Practical Linux and scripting experience with Python, shell, Tcl, Perl, Makefile, SKILL, or similar languages
Ability to independently triage well-scoped user issues, own small flow improvements, document resolutions, and escalate with clear evidence when needed
Experience with Cadence Virtuoso, ADE Explorer/Assembler, Spectre, SKILL, design libraries, CDF, techfiles, display resources, or analog/RF/mixed-signal design flows
Experience with Siemens Calibre DRC/LVS/PEX/xRC, Synopsys ICV/StarRC, Cadence Pegasus/Quantus, or related physical verification/extraction tools
Exposure to PDK installation, PDK QA, foundry design-rule manuals, rule decks, model files, LVS mapping, extraction setup, or PDK release management
Exposure to digital design and verification flows such as simulation, regressions, synthesis, STA, power analysis, formal/lint, or regression infrastructure
Familiarity with HPC environments, job schedulers such as Slurm or LSF, license servers, FlexNet, Linux modules, wrappers, NFS/storage, and shared compute systems
Ability to write clean scripts, parse logs, build sanity checks, and turn repeated errors into automated preflight checks or user-facing runbooks
Interest in AI/LLM-assisted EDA workflows, including log triage, runbook retrieval, flow diagnostics, test generation, and signoff report automation
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
Ability to work long hours and weekends as necessary to support meeting critical milestones
Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.
Base salary is just one part of your total rewards package at SpaceX.

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk to revolutionize space transportation, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary.
SpaceX has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company ever to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in December 2010. The company made history again in May 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft attached to the International Space Station, exchanged cargo payloads, and returned safely to Earth — a technically challenging feat previously accomplished only by governments. Since then Dragon has delivered cargo to and from the space station multiple times, providing regular cargo resupply missions for NASA.
