SW QA Engineer

Siemens EDA is a global technology leader in Electronic Design Automation software. Our software tools enable companies around the world to develop highly innovative electronic products faster and more cost-effectively. Our customers use our tools to push the boundaries of technology and physics to deliver better products in the increasingly complex world of chip, board, and system design.

Job Description

In this role, you will be responsible for the qualification and continuous quality improvement of core Semi-Manufacturing products in the Calibre suite, including the design, development, and automated execution of application-specific functional, performance, and regression tests.

You will work closely with software developers, product engineering, and product marketing to enable timely, high-quality releases that meet our customers’ advanced semiconductor manufacturing requirements. This includes developing test plans, maintaining regression suites, creating automation frameworks, generating and analyzing regression reports, and improving testing pipelines using modern methodologies.

Candidates should demonstrate experience in next-generation AI integration into QA workflows and AI-driven quality methodologies, as well as the ability to apply these techniques to EDA tools. This includes leveraging AI and build Agentic AI flows to perform regression analysis, generate test scenarios, validate specifications, create intelligent QA assistants, and enhance automated debugging.

Knowledge of semiconductor lithography processes and Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools is an advantage.

Job Qualifications
