The semiconductor industry is rapidly adopting AI for acceleration
Autonomous multi-agent systems that reason, learn, plan, and execute complex EDA tasks. By automating repetitive, multi-step design tasks and optimizing intricate workflows, agentic AI is the future and will enable engineers to focus on higher-level problems.
For this purpose
ADI is seeking a ASIC Design and Verification Engineer - AI is to spearhead the development and integration of best-in-class AI-driven tools in IC design and verification.

This position is in the Engineering Enablement (EE) group that provides industry-leading tools, methodologies, and support to accelerate product development across the company. You’ll be a part of the Systems Verification and Validation (SVV) team within the EE organization in ADI’s Vertical Business Units. SVV is responsible for developing, adopting, and supporting tools, methodologies, and solutions across the entire design verification landscape - including Unified Metric-Driven Verification (MDV), System Verilog (SV)/UVM-based methodologies, Mixed-Signal DV, Post-Silicon Validation Shift-Left, Formal Verification, Functional Safety, Security, Portable Stimulus, and Emulation/Prototyping technologies.

A major focus of the group recently has been around deploying and integrating advanced Agentic AI methods to boost productivity in areas of digital architecture, digital design, digital implementation DV and embedded software. This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to rapid advancements in a dynamic and fast-evolving field filled with engaging challenges.

About the Role

In this role, you will leverage your knowledge in Integrated Circuit (IC) design and verification with working knowledge of AI/ML to develop, integrate, deploy, and support best-in-class Agentic AI solutions including custom instructions, skills and automation scripts. You will help connect these tools with multiple engineering domains including system architecture, design, verification, and software teams to enhance productivity and quality. This is not an Agentic AI role, though you will use/create agents to accelerate output.

Key Responsibilities

Evaluate and integrate Agentic AI tools with industry standard and proprietary tools and workflows for massively accelerating various parts of the IC design and verification lifecycle

Develop libraries of custom instructions, skills, and automation scripts for Agentic AI tools

Apply machine learning and agentic AI techniques to extend and enhance ADI’s EDA tools

Connect APIs and SDKs to ADI’s design databases

Educate users on best practices for using Agentic AI tools, create documentation and deliver training workshops

Work closely with digital and analog design engineers, verification experts, and tool developers to identify pain points and integrate AI solutions

Evaluate and benchmark emerging AI/ML tools for semiconductor workflows

Develop and maintain automation tools to improve verification productivity and debug efficiency

Keep abreast of the latest in generative AI and agentic frameworks

Required Qualifications

5 years of experience in the IC design and verification domain

Experience with LLM-related techniques: prompt engineering, RAG, vector databases

Strong experience with scripting languages (Python, Bash)

Strong experience with System Verilog/UVM and C-based test bench development

Proficiency with git version control and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins)

Strong command-line Linux skills and experience with common Linux utilities

Excellent debugging and analytical skills

Strong coding and documentation practices

Excellent communication skills to work across teams

Preferred Qualifications

Knowledge of AI Infrastructure development, including MCP integration

API integration experience (REST/GraphQL)

Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and CI/CD practices for ML tools

Experience fine-tuning or training LLMs for domain-specific applications

Experience with synthesizable RTL development

Experience with debugging of RTL and gate simulations

Experience with Xcelium and Synopsys tools

Proficiency in Formal Verification techniques and tools

Experience with coverage-driven verification methodologies

Familiarity with low power verification (UPF)

Preferred Education

Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
