Design Automation SW Engineer
Build Python-based automation tools and pipelines for FPGA/SoC development flows and EDA build reports.
About the role
MangoBoost is seeking a Design Automation SW Engineer to build Python-based automation tools and build pipelines for FPGA and SoC development flows. The role focuses on automating project generation from metadata, parsing EDA build reports, and streamlining developer workflows between hardware specifications and software tooling.
What you'll do
- Develop Python-based CLI utilities and automation tools to streamline complex build and integration flows.
- Build metadata-driven script and code generators that translate structured input data (CSV, YAML, JSON) into automated build configurations.
- Create log and report parsers to extract execution status, resource metrics, and diagnostic summaries from build outputs.
- Maintain and improve automated build and packaging pipelines for reference platforms and system releases.
- Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and verification engineers to define single-source-of-truth (SSOT) schemas and interface specifications.
What you'll need
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong proficiency in Python and Linux shell scripting (Bash).
- Understanding of basic file and data parsing (CSV, JSON, YAML) and text-processing in Python.
- Basic familiarity with command-line tools or build systems such as Make, CMake, or CLI-based tools.
Nice to have
- Experience or interest in scripting for EDA/FPGA build flows (e.g., Tcl, Vivado CLI).
- Experience building automated build tools, log parsers, or CI/CD pipelines for hardware or embedded teams.
Skills: Python, Linux, Bash, EDA, Tcl, Vivado

How we counted: 739 open EDA/CAD Engineering (EDA Tools) roles from 78 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 11 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Physical Implementation family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
