What are the responsibilities and job description for the SW QA Engineer – Advanced position at Siemens EDA (Siemens Digital Industries Software)?
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.
We are looking for a highly motivated Quality Assurance Engineer to join the Semi-Manufacturing team in the Calibre business unit within the Design-to-Silicon division at Siemens EDA. 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 Machine Learning (ML) models to detect anomalies in regression behavior and using Agentic AI to 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.
