Siemens EDA is a global technology leader in Electronic Design Automation software. Our software tools enable companies around the world to develop highly innovative electronic products faster and more cost-effectively. Our customers use our tools to push the boundaries of technology and physics to deliver better products in the increasingly complex world of chip, board, and system design.
We are looking for a highly motivated software engineer with solid semiconductor knowledge to work on the Calibre engineering team in the Siemens EDA IC segment. You will be part of a team responsible for designing, developing, and supporting the Calibre Parasitic Extraction software (xACT, xACT3D). The Calibre parasitic extraction products identify the electrical side effects of devices and interconnect wires in integrated circuit designs and output those in a format that can be used for comprehensive post-layout analysis and simulation. Development responsibilities will span different software components including computation engines, application software, APIs, and utilities, with emphasis on advanced technology node modeling for meeting semiconductor foundry requirements. You will collaborate with a senior group of software engineers on the production-level quality of new components and algorithms and support existing parasitic extraction-related products.
