About Lattice

At Lattice, we build technology with focus and intent.

We develop low-power programmable solutions that power innovation across edge AI, connectivity, and security. Our teams work across silicon, software, and systems—with a strong emphasis on ownership, speed, and real impact .

Within our EDA organization, engineers don’t just integrate flows—they build the core engines that drive synthesis, placement, routing, and optimization . This is where deep technical problems meet real-world impact.

About the Role

We are hiring experienced EDA engineers to work on the core engines behind Lattice’s FPGA design toolchain .

This role focuses on building and evolving synthesis and routing frameworks , working at the intersection of algorithms, large-scale systems, and performance engineering .

You will operate across problem definition, algorithm design, implementation, and optimization , with strong ownership over foundational components of the toolchain.

We are hiring across multiple experience levels within this role, with scope aligned to individual expertise and impact.

What You’ll Do

- Design and develop core engines for:
- Logic synthesis
- Placement and routing
- Timing and design optimization
- Build high-performance systems using contemporary C++ , focusing on scalability and efficiency
- Develop and refine algorithms for:
- Graph optimization
- Timing analysis
- Physical design constraints




- Contribute to end-to-end design flows from RTL to implementation
- Debug complex issues across large, interdependent systems
- Drive improvements in QoR (quality of results), runtime, and scalability
- Collaborate with teams across FPGA architecture, silicon, and software tools

What You Bring
- 6+ years of hands-on experience in EDA software development
- Strong programming expertise in C++ (data structures, algorithms, performance optimization)
- Proven experience contributing to core tool engines , including:
- Synthesis
- Placement & routing
- Timing / optimization frameworks
- Strong understanding of:
- Digital design concepts (RTL, netlists, timing)
- Algorithm design and optimization techniques
- Experience working on large, complex codebases
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills

What Makes You Stand Out
- Experience building or enhancing production-grade EDA tools
- Strong background in graph algorithms, heuristics, or optimization techniques
- Familiarity with FPGA or ASIC physical design flows
- Passion for solving deep technical problems at scale

Why This Role
- Work on core engines , not peripheral tooling
- Solve challenging problems across algorithms, systems, and hardware design
- High ownership in a focused, high-impact engineering team
- Direct influence on performance, scalability, and quality of design flows
