About Cadence

At Cadence the selling is done in pairs: an account executive owns the bookings at a named chipmaker or systems house, and an application engineer (the "AE" in many of its titles, not an account executive) runs the benchmarks, evaluations and tapeout support that win the deal. Engineers outnumber quota carriers here: 26 of the 54 sales-titled openings are application, solutions or customer enablement engineers, most of them digital implementation and signoff specialists in San Jose and Austin, against 22 selling seats, four deal desk and sales operations roles and two cloud business development jobs. The EDA side is hiring senior account executives for Bay Area named accounts, an account director on the strategic account team, Interface IP and SerDes IP sellers and a custom silicon (ASIC services) sales leader, while a newer Systems inside sales team hires senior reps from home in 12 states to sell PCB, CFD, RF and signal integrity tools. The other big block is simulation outside chips: six mechanical CAE field sellers in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou calling on automotive and industrial accounts, Physical Systems Simulation account executives in Nottingham and Spain, a CAE seller for Metro Detroit, an Area Sales Manager in Noida who runs channel partners, and a scientific sales executive selling OpenEye molecular design software to small and mid-size drug discovery customers in western North America. About half the openings (28) are in the US, 13 in China, 8 in India and the rest in Taiwan, Singapore, the UK and Spain.
