You will join Keysight’s Design Engineering Software (DES) R&D center in Gent, Belgium, working on SIPro and PIPro, advanced CAD solutions for High-Speed Digital (HSD) engineers.

Our tools support engineers in designing and validating complex electronic systems by addressing Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) challenges in high-speed digital designs.

The team operates in an Agile, international environment and collaborates closely with global R&D sites to deliver high-performance commercial EDA software.

About the Role

As an R&D Software Engineer, you will contribute to the development of simulation engines and data-flow algorithms within SIPro and PIPro.

This is a hands-on technical role focused on:

• Algorithm development
• Performance-critical C/C++ implementations
• Simulation workflows for high-speed digital systems
• Contributing to a commercial-grade EDA platform

You will work closely with software engineers and domain experts in electromagnetics and signal integrity.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement simulation and data-processing algorithms for SI/PI analysis
• Develop high-performance, maintainable C/C++ code
• Contribute to architecture discussions and technical design decisions
• Collaborate within an Agile R&D team across multiple sites
• Participate in testing, debugging, and performance optimization
• Support commercial releases of SIPro and PIPro

Do you have experience in Software architecture?, Do you have a Master’s degree?, * Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field

• Strong programming skills in C/C++
• Experience with Python for scripting or automation
• Solid understanding of software architecture and development best practices
