Optical Software Engineer

JOB SUMMARY

For over three decades, our client, based in Silicon Valley, California and with global locations around the world has solved semiconductor design challenges by offering affordable and competitive TCAD (Technology Computer Aided Design) and EDA (Electronic Design Automation) softwares, proven design IP (intellectual property), and world class support to engineers and researchers across the globe.

Their solutions span from atoms to systems: starting with simulation of material behavior impacting semiconductor devices, to design of transistor circuits and IP blocks for systems-on-chip (SoC).

We are looking for anOptical Software Engineer.

What you will be doing

As a member of the TCAD group, you will design, implement, evaluate, and improve physical models and optical methods for the simulation of electro-optical semiconductor devices. The successful candidate will be an experienced software engineer with expertise in simulating optical devices such as lasers, LEDs, displays, or sensors.

Essential job functions and responsibilities

• Develop, support, test, and maintain existing optical simulation software
• Identify, implement, and test new optical solvers (such as DGTD) and physical models.
• Provide accurate and effective written documentation.
• Communicate complex ideas and testing results effectively, both orally and in writing.
