Staff Software Engineer (Semiconductor Process and Device Simulation)

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

Qualifications

The ideal candidate should possess the following education and experience:

• PhD (or MS + 5+ years of research/industry experience) in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, etc.)

Expertise in:

• Scientific computing: Numerical algorithms (FEM/FD/FVM/BEM), eigen/linear/PDE solvers, convex optimization, computational geometry, computer graphics, advanced statistical methods (Monte Carlo sampling), etc.
• High-performance computing: Distributed processing, Message Parsing Interface (MPI), GPU acceleration, CUDA ecosystems
• Software/Programming skills: Proficiency in C/C++, CUDA, Python, Code Copilot
• AI/ML applications: Leveraging AI/ML to accelerate problem-solving processes
• Semiconductor knowledge (preferred but not required): Basic semiconductor process (photolithography, etch, deposition, Epitaxy, CMP) and semiconductor device physics
