More:

We are looking for an EDA Optimisation Engineer to support the data-driven optimisation, analysis and maintenance of our engineering platforms. This role sits within our Productivity Engineering group and focuses on metrics, automation, data engineering, and problem-solving in a metrics-first, data-driven environment. We work across HPC compute, cloud, Emulation and FPGA environments to improve system utilisation, efficiency, cost-performance, forecasting accuracy, and infrastructure strategy. We offer a collaborative, fast-paced team where you can grow technically, contribute directly to platform strategy, and improve performance for thousands of engineers. No relocation package is available for this role. We also support hybrid working, with patterns determined by the teams needs, and we are an equal opportunity employer committed to mutual respect and inclusion.
