Software Engineering, Semiconductor Process and Device Simulators

Join the Calibre™ R&D Team at Siemens EDA

We are seeking a highly motivated researcher and software developer, preferably with expertise in high-performance scientific computing (numerical algorithms, linear/PDE solvers, computational geometry, distributed processing, GPU acceleration and deep learning surrogate models, etc) to solve complex physical systems.

About Us

The Calibre™ family of tools is the industry leader in EDA/CAD solutions for semiconductor manufacturing, enabling simulations and diagnostics from the transistor to the package level. As the semiconductor industry continues its rapid growth, there is a critical demand for high-fidelity modeling and high-throughput numerical simulations to support the production of stable, high-volume chips at advanced technology nodes.

In this pivotal role, you will collaborate with industry leaders to develop groundbreaking tools that accelerate semiconductor manufacturing and device performance study at the most advanced technologies (logic 2/1.4/1.0/0.7nm and beyond, 3D NAND, 6/4F2/3D DRAM, CIS, and 3DIC packaging). Our solutions will deliver significant performance gains over conventional approaches, essential for supporting high-volume manufacturing and the agile turnaround times our customers demand.

Qualifications

Education & Background
