Cadence Hiring Signal

Cadence is actively recruiting senior chip designers in Bangalore, including a Principal Design Engineer role, adding to a run of local design and verification openings. (glassdoor.co.in) One current Cadence posting for Bangalore says the company wants an IP integration and release engineer to work on register-transfer level, or RTL, integration, verification regressions, and customer configurations. The listing asks for 6 to 10 years of core RTL integration and verification experience, plus Verilog and SystemVerilog skills. (cadence.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com) The same Workday page shows related Bangalore openings, including a Principal Design for Test, or DFT, Design Engineer role. A separate job listing cached by Glassdoor identifies a “Principal Design Engineer” opening in Bangalore at Cadence. (cadence.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com) (glassdoor.co.in) Cadence sells electronic design automation software and semiconductor intellectual property, the tools and reusable blocks chip teams use to build processors and other silicon. Its homepage groups those businesses under electronic design automation, verification, and IP, which is where many senior Bangalore roles sit. (cadence.com) That hiring focus lines up with the kind of work now concentrated in India’s chip-design hubs. Cadence’s India page lists product areas including digital design, verification, and silicon solutions, all core functions for application-specific integrated circuit and Very Large Scale Integration teams. (cadence.com) Pay chatter around these roles has centered on principal-level compensation in Bangalore. One 2026 salary guide for India’s VLSI market says engineers with 7 or more years of experience can reach ₹40 lakh to ₹60 lakh-plus annually, with Bangalore described as the best-paying city in that survey. (guvi.in) That range is broader than title-specific employer data, and public salary databases vary. PayScale’s 2026 Bangalore page for ASIC Design Engineer shows a median of about ₹1.6 million, while salary aggregator 6figr says Bangalore workers with VLSI skills average ₹38.2 lakh across verified profiles. (payscale.com) (6figr.com) The pattern in the postings is less about one vacancy than about what companies still need: engineers who can stitch together PHYs and controllers, run verification, and deliver clean IP to customers. Cadence’s Bangalore descriptions repeatedly mention integration, verification, protocol experience, and release engineering rather than entry-level layout work. (cadence.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com) For engineers tracking the market, the signal is straightforward: Bangalore remains a live hiring center for senior semiconductor design work, and Cadence is still staffing for the people closest to tape-out quality and customer delivery.
