IC Layout Automation Software Engineer
Rigetti Computing · Fremont, CA · Posted 146 days ago
About the Role
Rigetti is seeking an IC Layout Automation Software Engineer to develop and maintain software systems that support the design and fabrication of superconducting quantum circuits.
This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, IC layout, and semiconductor fabrication, enabling the translation of device and process requirements into manufacturable layouts. You will work closely with cross-functional teams across design, fabrication, and research to build and evolve tools that are critical to how quantum devices are designed and produced.
This is a highly interdisciplinary role that requires strong software fundamentals alongside familiarity with IC design workflows and fabrication processes. You will play a key role in improving the reliability, usability, and scalability of layout generation and design tooling used in a cutting-edge R&D environment and over time, in shaping what that tooling becomes.
Key Responsibilities
Software Development & Architecture
• Design, develop, and maintain production-quality software systems for IC layout generation and design workflows
• Refactor and improve existing codebases to increase maintainability, usability, and performance
• Build scalable and extensible software architectures that support evolving design and fabrication requirements
• Ensure code quality through best practices in testing, documentation, and version control
IC Design & Layout Integration
• Translate design and fabrication requirements into layout-ready implementations
• Work with GDSII and IC layout formats to generate, manipulate, and validate layout data
• Develop and maintain tooling that supports layout generation, verification, and iteration
• Integrate software workflows with existing EDA tools and design environments
Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Partner closely with design, fabrication, and research teams to understand requirements and deliver effective solutions
