PRINCIPAL ENGINEER/ARCHITECT – UI DEVELOPER (EDA TOOLS) Lattice Semiconductor Corporation Hyderabad / Pune / Chennai, India

THE ROLE Lead the architectural evolution of Qt-based UI systems for next-generation FPGA design tools. Own the vision for advancing established Qt frameworks toward modern, sophisticated paradigms while maintaining deep integration with high-performance backend engines. Drive the strategic direction of tool interfaces built on Qt technology. This is NOT a web development role. We need someone who has architected sophisticated Qt-based UI systems for professional tools and can mentor teams on UI architecture excellence. YOUR BACKGROUND 15 years in core UI development for systems software (NOT web frameworks) Deep expertise in C++ UI frameworks, specifically Qt (core competency) Strong proficiency in Qt architecture, signals/slots, custom widgets, graphics view framework Professional tools experience: EDA (Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor), Adobe, or similar systems software Proven track record transitioning legacy UI to modern architectures while leveraging Qt capabilities Expert in GUI toolkits, event-driven architecture, graphics pipelines, performance optimization WHAT YOU'LL DRIVE Architect sophisticated Qt-based UI frameworks for EDA design tools Lead technical vision for Qt modernization and advanced capabilities Design scalable Qt architectures that balance performance with innovation Mentor and grow a specialized UI engineering team on Qt best practices Establish Qt architecture standards and reusable component frameworks Collaborate across architecture, backend, and design teams YOU DON'T Build React/Vue/Angular web applications Come from IT or enterprise software backgrounds primarily View C++ systems UI as "legacy" to escape from Focus on consumer-facing mobile/web UI WHY LATTICE Your work shapes how engineers worldwide interact with FPGA design tools. You'll lead a high-impact technical team, influence product strategy, and drive continuous modernization of professional tool interfaces. Competitive compensation, flexible work arrangement, and collaborative engineering culture.
