About the Role
We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to design and build the next generation electromagnetic (EM) simulation, Thermal, Spice, Spectre and RF/microwave design automation tools and build & interfaces to & fro for for semiconductor foundries and customers. You will work on the software that powers full-wave EM solvers, Thermal simulation engines, Spice & Spectre simulators, layout-driven extraction flows, and the automation pipelines that turn foundry technology data (ITF/LTD, layermaps, tech files) and physical layout (GDS) into accurate S-parameter models.
This role sits at the intersection of computational electromagnetics, numerical methods, and large-scale software engineering. You will collaborate with EM research scientists, application engineers, and product managers to deliver robust, high-performance features used by RF, mmWave, IC design teams worldwide.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain tooling and utilities (parsers, comparators, validators) for technology stackups and simulation inputs to ensure correctness and reproducibility.
- Build automation and data-processing pipelines: technology file conversion (iRCX/ITF → LTD), layout/GDS import, port/pin placement, simulation setup, and S-parameter (SnP) export.
- Develop automated tools and scripts for PDKs, create tests, run, maintain, and verify regressions. Review & verify code checked into Keysight EDA ADS (Advanced Design System) software.
- Participate in design reviews, code reviews, testing, and debugging; write clean, well tested, maintainable code.
- Collaborate with EM, Thermal, Circuit Simulation squad to translate numerical methods and prototypes into production-quality, cross-platform (Windows/Linux) software.
- Leverage AI-powered development tools, coding assistants, and autonomous agents to accelerate design, development, testing, debugging, and documentation.
Qualifications
Qualification: B.E./M.E./Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or a related field
Required Skills
- Strong programming skills in C++ (Modern C++ preferred) and/or Python, with solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design principles.
- Good understanding of Object-Oriented Design, Design Patterns, and Software Engineering principles.
- Solid foundation in numerical methods and linear algebra (matrix solvers, sparse systems, iterative methods, floating-point numerics).
- Experience developing on Linux and/or Windows, with familiarity in build systems (CMake), version control (Git), and CI/CD workflows.
- Strong problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills.
- Understanding of software security, testing, and code quality practices.
- Knowledge & insight of TSMC iRCX file format.
- Working knowledge of AES and other encryption method and implementations.
- Basic understanding of high frequency electronic design, its process (PCB/PKG/RFIC/MMIC) and key components.
- Understanding electromagnetic / RF / microwave theory (Maxwell's equations, transmission lines, S-parameters, antenna parameters, signal & power integrity).
Preferred Skills
- Familiarity with electromagnetic simulation tools
- Knowledge of computational electromagnetics (FEM, MoM, FDTD, integral-equation methods) or other physics-based simulation techniques.
- Familiarity with EDA tools and flows (e.g., ADS, RFPro, EMPro, Momentum, HFSS, Heatwave, IcePak, Thermal simulators (CAE/ EDA), Cadence, or similar) and technology data formats (GDS, ITF, LTD, layermap, tech files, Touchstone/SnP).
- Experience building automation frameworks, scripting APIs, or plugin architectures for simulation tools.
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor) and understanding of AI/LLM concepts, prompt engineering, and agentic workflows.
- Contributions to open-source scientific/numerical software.
Selection Process
- HackerRank Assessment (C++ & Python)
- Technical Coding and Design Interviews
- Hiring Manager Interview
Preferred: Candidates with a strong software development background in EDA / CAD CAE / electromagnetic simulation, excellent problem-solving skills, and a passion for building high-quality products.
