Sr Software Developer C++ for Electromagnetic Simulation Algorithms

We are seeking a Senior Software Developer to join our electro-magnetic simulation team in DES. In this role, you will be a key technical contributor advancing our state-of-the-art EM simulators. You will shape the core EM simulation algorithms and ensure that our software solutions meet the performance, scalability, and reliability demands of cutting-edge RF, micro- and millimeter-wave designers. As a senior software developer, you will work closely with cross-functional stakeholders - including Marketing, R&D, Technical Support, and Quality Assurance - to capture requirements and deliver whole-product solutions. You will also investigate emerging technologies, lead design reviews, validate solutions with customer feedback, and foster best practices in software engineering within our Agile development framework. Responsibilities:

• Define and develop the algorithms of advanced EM simulation software with a focus on accuracy, scalability, reliability, and high performance.
• Evaluate and integrate new technologies to advance the simulator’s capabilities.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex algorithmic and performance issues.
• Collaborate across functions (Marketing, R&D, QA, Technical Support) to align the simulator capabilities with customer workflows and product strategy.
• Mentor and guide on software design and coding best practices.
• Promote best practices in Agile software development (test-driven development, up-front design, code review, continuous integration).
• Contribute to technical documentation.

Do you have experience in Software design?, Do you have a Master’s degree?, * Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Math, or a related technical field.

• Strong background on computational electromagnetics or numerical analysis.
• Experience developing and maintaining a field solver.
• Proven experience designing and evolving complex computational algorithms for large-scale, high-performance simulations.
• Expert-level proficiency in C++.
