This is a hands‑on technical role focused on:

• Algorithm development
• Performance‑critical C/C++ implementations
• Simulation workflows for high-speed digital systems
• Contributing to a commercial‑grade EDA platform

You will work closely with software engineers and domain experts in electromagnetics and signal integrity.

• Design and implement simulation and data‑processing algorithms for SI/PI analysis
• Develop high-performance, maintainable C/C++ code
• Contribute to architecture discussions and technical design decisions
• Collaborate within an Agile R&D team across multiple sites
• Participate in testing, debugging, and performance optimization
• Support commercial releases of SIPro and PIPro

• Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• Strong programming skills in C/C++
• Experience with Python for scripting or automation
• Solid understanding of software architecture and development best practices
• Good English communication skills
• Ability to work effectively in a multicultural, distributed team

• Basic understanding of electromagnetic (EM) simulation techniques
• Exposure to Signal Integrity (SI) or Power Integrity (PI) concepts
• Experience developing or contributing to commercial software products
• Understanding of challenges faced by High-Speed Digital (HSD) hardware designers
• Background in EDA, simulation tools, or physics-based modeling
