C++ / Python Software Engineer – SoC / Semiconductor

Paris / Sophia Antipolis / Montigny-le-Bretonneux | €55,000+ + Bonus + RSUs | Hybrid | CDI

Want to work on software that helps engineers build some of the world’s most advanced chips?

I’m recruiting 6 Software Engineers to join a growing semiconductor team in France, developing a sophisticated SoC design platform used by companies including AMD, Intel, Samsung and Microsoft.

The product sits directly between software and hardware engineering, helping SoC architects model complex chips and automatically generate HDL code and documentation.

And it’s entering a major new chapter: the architecture is being redesigned, the engineering team is expanding, new functionality is being developed and AI capabilities are being integrated into the platform.

What you’ll do

• Develop and refactor complex C++ and Python
• Work with SoC architecture, memory maps and HDL generation
• Debug software and support hardware verification regressions
• Improve the performance and scalability of a multi-million-line codebase
• Help shape the next generation of an established semiconductor design product

What we’re looking for

• 4+ years’ software engineering experience
• Strong OOP skills in C++, Python, Java or similar
• Exposure to SoCs, RTL, FPGA, Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL or embedded systems
• Professional English

If AXI, AHB or APB mean something to you and you enjoy programming, you’re probably the kind of engineer I want to speak with.

Package

€55,000+ base salary, depending on experience
5% individual + 12% company bonus
RSUs depending on level
100% funded health insurance
Restaurant vouchers + €300 annual activity allowance
