IP-XACT (IP traceability) release engineer

HCLTech is looking for a highly talented and self- motivated IP-XACT (IP traceability) release engineer

to join it in advancing the technological world through innovation and creativity.

Job Title: IP-XACT (IP traceability) release engineer

Job REQ ID: 170496

Position Type: Full Time

Location : Bay Area CA/Remote

Summary

• Set up an IP-XACT (IEEE 1685) based tracking and versioning system that lets us query exactly which IP version went into any given RTL build, DV environment, or GDSII release — in both directions. We strongly prefer someone who has already built this at another company, not a first attempt. You'll work with one of our engineers, who will walk you through our RTL/DV/GDSII flows so the system integrates cleanly rather than sitting on the side.

. Key Responsibilities

• Responsibilities:

• IP metadata scheme: Define IP-XACT-based version/config metadata and how it maps to our IP catalog.

• Cross-stage traceability: Build the linkage/query layer connecting IP versions to RTL, DV, and GDSII releases, both ways.

• Tooling: Stand up Magillem or Kactus2 (open source), or an equivalent industry-standard tool, and integrate it with our environment.

• Flow integration: Map our existing RTL/DV/GDSII flows with our engineer and fit the system to them.

• Automation: Script version capture at key checkpoints (RTL freeze, DV regression, tapeout) — no manual bookkeeping.

• Handoff: Document the setup and enable our team to own it going forward.

• Required Qualification

• Track record: Has personally designed and deployed an IP-XACT tracking/versioning system elsewhere — describe scope and scale.

• IP-XACT / IEEE 1685: Strong working knowledge with prior implementation experience.

• SoC flow knowledge: Understands how IP moves through RTL, DV, and physical implementation to GDSII.

• Tooling: hands-on with Magillem and/or Kactus2, or a comparable tool; also additional knowledge of ClioSoft SOS & Methodics based PLM knowledge will be handy

• Scripting: Python and/or Tcl/Perl, integrated with EDA flows and version control.

• Pay Range Minimum: $87000/annum
• Pay Range Maximum: $172000/annum
