R&D Engineering, Staff Engineer

About the Role

Support customer evaluations, pilots, and production deployments of RedHawk-SC Electrothermal technologies across thermal, power integrity, EM/IR, and advanced packaging workflows.

What You'll Be Doing

• Analyze customer designs and workflows, reproduce technical issues, isolate root causes, and deliver practical solutions or escalate with test cases and clear technical evidence to R&D
• Gather field and customer requirements and translate them into clear use cases, functional requirements, and validation criteria that Product Management and R&D can act on
• Validate new features and capabilities against real customer scenarios, document results and limitations, and provide structured feedback on product readiness, quality, and usability
• Develop application notes, best-practice guides, training materials, and reusable deployment collateral for thermal, electrothermal, stress, and chip-package-system workflows
• Conduct technical reviews, demonstrations, workshops, and training sessions for customers, field teams, and application engineers
• Partner with Application Engineering to deliver technically accurate and timely responses to customer escalations and deployment challenges

The Impact You Will Have

• Customer deployments move faster and with fewer escalations because you provided the right technical guidance at the right time
• Product capabilities ship with credible validation evidence and documented workflows that field teams and customers can actually use
• R&D receives actionable feedback supported by reproducible test cases, which means faster resolution and better product quality
• Customers trust the methodology because you helped them understand not just how to run the tool, but how to interpret results and make decisions
• Field teams become more effective in your domain because you shared what you learned and built reusable collateral that scales
• Advanced packaging, 3DIC, and multiphysics workflows become repeatable and production-ready because you defined what good looks like
• Your technical ownership in at least one RHSC-ET domain becomes a reference point for the broader team and ecosystem

What You'll Need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related field with at least 5 years of related experience, or Master's degree with at least 3 years of experience
• Comprehensive technical knowledge in semiconductor EDA, thermal analysis, electrothermal simulation, power integrity, EM/IR, reliability, signal integrity, mechanical stress, package analysis, or multiphysics simulation
• Experience applying engineering judgment to solve diverse technical problems and independently delivering defined technical projects from start to finish
• Ability to analyze simulation results, identify root causes, and communicate findings and recommendations clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
• Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills, with demonstrated ability to interact effectively with customers and cross-functional teams
• Experience with RedHawk-SC, RedHawk-SC Electrothermal, Totem, PrimePower, PrimeTime, Fusion Compiler, 3DIC Compiler, or comparable EDA and multiphysics tools is a strong plus
• Experience with 2.5D/3DIC, chiplets, HBM, interposers, package/board modeling, co-packaged optics, or heterogeneous integration is a plus

Who You Are

• You can walk into a customer meeting, listen to a technical problem, and within an hour have a plan for what to test, what to rule out, and what to escalate
• You explain complex tradeoffs and analysis results in ways that make sense to the person who has to make the decision, whether that is a design engineer, a manager, or a VP
• You do not wait for someone to tell you what to do next. You see what is blocking progress, figure out who needs to be involved, and drive it forward
• You know when to dig deeper and when to escalate, and when you escalate, you bring enough context and evidence that the next person can act immediately
• You are comfortable saying "I do not know yet, but here is how I will find out" and then actually following through
• You treat customer issues and product quality as your problem to solve, not someone else's responsibility
