Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Support and improve the IC design environment for silicon design, layout, and verification teams. This includes maintaining EDA tools, managing PDK deployments, and building automation to increase designer productivity.
Requires a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science with 2+ years of experience in EDA/CAD support or silicon design. Proficiency in Linux and scripting languages like Python or Tcl is essential.
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.

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft
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. For more information, visit www.spacex.com.
