EDA & CAD Manager

ABOUT LUMILENS

At Lumilens we are building the critical photonics infrastructure that powers tomorrow’s AI supercomputing. From chip-to-chip optical interconnects to scalable photonic engines, Lumilens is unlocking a new era of computing faster, cooler, and massively more efficient.

We’re a well-funded startup backed by Mayfield and led by industry’s veterans who’ve built and scaled some of the most transformative technologies in the industry. This isn’t incremental innovation, it’s a ground-floor opportunity to rethink the optical layer from the silicon up. You’ll work alongside a team of world-class engineers solving some of the hardest challenges in optics, systems, and scale. Every line of code, every design decision, every breakthrough you help deliver will shape the infrastructure of tomorrow.

If you're looking for mission, momentum, and the chance to make an outsized impact jump on the rocket ship. We’re just getting started.

POSITION OVERVIEW

We are seeking an experienced EDA & CAD Manager to build and manage a robust design environment that supports multiple disciplines of IC designers across Lumilens. This role will own critical EDA methodology, CAD flows, design infrastructure, tool administration, and automation that enable faster, more reliable silicon development. You will partner closely with IC design, IT, and engineering leadership to strengthen our foundation, scale our tool environment, and improve the pace and quality of development across multiple programs.

What You'll Do:

• Support IC design and IT leadership with EDA tool upgrades, infrastructure improvements, and methodology enhancements across analog, mixed-signal design, layout and verification, and digital design and verification environments.

• Manage repositories for PDKs, internal and external IP, design data, and tools from multiple vendors, ensuring configuration control, reliability, and ease of adoption for engineering users.

• Advise design and IT leadership on future planning, EDA methodology improvements, design environment scalability, and infrastructure investments that support rapid growth.

• Develop, deploy, and maintain custom tools, scripts, automation, and plug-ins that improve designer productivity and are easily adopted across teams.

• Support CAD flows integrating tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, Pegasus, Genus, Innovus, Xcelium, Synopsys IC compiler, Siemens EDA, Calibre and related verification and signoff infrastructure.

• Maintain and troubleshoot EDA infrastructure, including Linux and Unix environments, compute-farm integration, environment modules, tool-version management, license servers, and interactions between EDA applications and engineering infrastructure.
