About the role
Cadence’s Tensilica Products Group is seeking a skilled Software Engineer to design, build, and improve our processor generator, processing systems, and supporting infrastructure in California. You will work across the full product life cycle—from analyzing user needs to delivering control components, backend systems, and automated tests. Join a cross‑functional team to evolve databases, REST APIs, and web applications, and collaborate across groups to streamline delivery.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
