CAD Back-end Lead

Role Overview
We are looking for a CAD Back-end Lead to build, integrate, and support the design flows used by Velaura’s Custom Design and Physical Design teams. This role will own the CAD framework supporting custom design, parasitic extraction, circuit simulation, characterization, physical implementation, timing and power analysis, physical verification, and tapeout.
You will work closely with Custom Circuit Design, Custom Layout, Characterization, Physical Design, STA, Power Integrity, Physical Verification, and CAD Infrastructure teams to translate domain-specific methodologies into qualified, scalable, and reproducible production flows.
The functional teams will own design methodology, execution, QoR targets, and signoff criteria. This role will own flow architecture, EDA tool integration, automation, version control, release qualification, regression infrastructure, documentation, and production support.
The ideal candidate combines a strong understanding of custom-design and back-end workflows with hands-on expertise in EDA integration, software development, scripting, regression automation, agentic AI development, and advanced-node enablement. Success in this role will be measured by flow reliability, ease of use, turnaround time, reproducibility, and engineering productivity.
