A place where you can leave your mark
A place where you can leave your mark
Interesting domain - tackling hard computer science problems Small R&D with great impact on world wide EDA industry Top tier HW customers - basically everyone you can think of. Smart, collaborative people - diversified in gender, age, culture. Multi site dev team - you get to know people from all over the world. EDA industry is very stable Overall good work life balance
Due to global customers and R&D, frequent late meetings
Working on old-school C++/Linux environment - if you're looking for latest FE development technologies this is not the place.
