ECE/EDA Engineer, AI Design Integration

Job Title: ECE/EDA Engineer, AI Design Integration
Location: Pune (On Site)
Type: Full-Time
Experience: 5+ years
About the Role
We are seeking experienced ASIC, FPGA, VLSI, Verification, Physical Design, and Analog/Mixed-Signal engineers with deep knowledge of semiconductor and electronics design. In this role, you will apply your expertise to develop, review, and evaluate design solutions across RTL, verification, physical design, and analog/mixed-signal flows, ensuring technically accurate and robust outcomes.
What You'll Do
Create and review data grounded in real electronics and electromechanical design practice.
Express and evaluate designs code-first, schematics and netlists as Python (SKiDL), and judge AI-generated circuits, netlists, and system designs for correctness and buildability.
Identify failure cases and edge cases across the electronics-to-mechanics boundary; flag where a design looks fine on paper but fails as real hardware.
Break complex design and verification tasks into structured workflows the model can learn from and be measured against.
Domain Responsibilities
Design and assess analog/digital circuits, power and motor-drive electronics, sensing, and signal integrity at the board and system level.
Reason about electromechanical systems, motor selection, actuation, control interfaces, and the coupling between electrical and mechanical behaviour.
Author and review code-first electronics (SKiDL/Python), netlist generation, and design automation.
Validate designs against real-world constraints, thermal, EMI, manufacturability, and integration with mechanical assemblies.
Requirements
Must Have
B.Tech/M.Tech in Electrical, Electronics, ECE, Mechatronics, or a related field from a Tier 1/Tier2 institute.
5+ years of hands-on electronics design with genuine electromechanical depth, you've designed hardware that moves, senses, or drives something real.
Strong Python and a code-first mindset for hardware (SKiDL or equivalent programmatic schematic/netlist tooling).
Solid grasp of circuit design, power/motor drives, sensing, and electrical-mechanical integration.
Good to Have
Exposure to traditional EDA tools (KiCad, Altium) for cross-checking code-first designs.
Control systems, embedded/firmware, or mechatronics background.
Familiarity with AI/ML-assisted design or LLM-based tooling.
Interested candidates are required to complete the attached EDA assessment as part of the application process and submit @shilpa.srivastava@softage.net.
Choose one of the three EDA projects, recreate the reference design by completing the schematic and PCB layout, then run ERC/DRC checks and generate all required deliverables (Gerbers, BOM, reports, etc.). Record your entire workflow using OBS Studio and submit the screen recording along with the final project files via a shared Google Drive folder:
05_HIGH_CAN_Bus_MCP2518_Transceiver_Board
09_EXPERT_Precision_ADC_Data_Acquisition_Board
10_EXPERT_Dense_MCU_Hardware_Block
