Protium Prototyping Platform is part of the Cadence Dynamic Duo that has been a huge success with our customers. With Cadence® Protium™ prototyping platforms, design and verification teams can rapidly bring up a prototype and provide a pre-silicon platform for early software development, system validation, and hardware regressions.
The Principal Software Engineer will be responsible for design and development of new features and algorithms mainly in development of a new Custom Prototyping Flow. The Principal Software Engineer will accomplish this by carefully discussing the implementation specification with the team spread across different geographies. The candidate is also expected work with technical support lead and key customers to resolve implementation or usage issues.
