Job Description
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.
