About Cadence and the Role
Cadence is a company that hires and develops leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.
The Cadence Compute Systems Group (CSG) is responsible for developing and licensing IP for system designs, including CPUs and high-performance DSPs, DDR and IO controllers, hardware accelerators, and subsystems. Our IP designs are used by most of the top semiconductor vendors today, and our customers are shipping billions of chips annually using our components.
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced technical manager to lead a new software team for CSG systems. The successful candidate will be responsible for implementing reference systems for Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Radar, Automotive, and other high-performance applications. This is a technically rewarding role with high visibility within the organization.
The team will be responsible for supporting customers of CSG subsystems and developing software and applications for reference systems and product demonstrations, highlighting the capability of CSG subsystems and components. This is a hands-on role, working with compute and interface IP, device drivers and RTOS, communication libraries and APIs, reference designs, boards, and emulation systems.
Key Responsibilities
1. Recruit, train, and manage a strong team of software developers.
2. Develop reference applications to showcase Cadence IP and subsystems. Participate in trade shows and customer meetings as required. Typical applications address Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Automotive, and Audio verticals.
3. Develop reference designs on different hardware targets, collateral, and training material for CSG system customers. Build and train an organization to support users.
4. Port and integrate CSG software components for reference systems and platforms, and create development SDK for partners and customers.
5. Develop at all levels of device software for IO interfaces like HDMI, PCIe, and UCIe on embedded systems with and without OSes.
6. Coordinate with partners to integrate 3rd party components and applications with CSG systems.
Requirements
1. Exceptional management and communication skills.
2. Expert C coder. Proficiency in Python, Perl, or C++ is a plus.
3. Hands-on experience writing low-level software for embedded processors, like ARM.
4. Hands-on experience writing driver software for interfaces and peripherals such as HDMI, USB, PCIe, and Ethernet.
5. Hands-on experience in creating embedded Linux distributions.
6. Bonus points for experience in porting, linking and debugging embedded software and drivers.
7. BS in EE/CS with 10+ years work experience, or MS in EE/CS with 8+ years experience.
8. Ability to travel locally and/or internationally (up to 15% of time) for business needs.
This is a chance to do meaningful work that can have a significant impact. If you're passionate about technology and leadership, we'd love to hear from you.
