Lead R&D Engineer - C++, HPC for EDA Simulation

 Requisition #: 16553 

Our Mission: Powering Innovation That Drives Human Advancement  

When visionary companies need to know how their world-changing ideas will perform, they close the gap between design and reality with Ansys simulation. For more than 50 years, Ansys software has enabled innovators across industries to push boundaries by using the predictive power of simulation. From sustainable transportation to advanced semiconductors, from satellite systems to life-saving medical devices, the next great leaps in human advancement will be powered by Ansys. 

Innovate With Ansys, Power Your Career.  

Summary / Role Purpose

The successful candidate will join the Research and Development team that creates state-of-the-art software for electromagnetic crosstalk analysis.

With increasing frequencies, tighter design margins, denser integrated circuits (e.g., 3D-IC structures, stacked die architectures, etc.), and new devices and materials, the necessity of full electromagnetic (EM) interference analysis is becoming a fundamental need for the industry. The associated physics and the sheer design size bring out new challenges related to power and reliability, affecting design closure, and at the same time make the incorporation of EM phenomena in the sign-off process extremely challenging. ANSYS simulation and modeling tools offer the sign-off accuracy and performance needed to ensure optimal design, noise integrity and reliability of even the most complex ICs, taking into account electromagnetic crosstalk.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

• Demonstrate expertise in the code and the team’s software development processes. Help to continuously improve both software and processes.
• Evaluate multiple approaches to technical problems and be able to recommend one solution after considering limitations and challenges
• Build a deep understanding of the domain and how the product fits into the user’s design flow
• Communicate clearly with others regarding project status and risks, and to ensure that work is aligned with the business unit strategy
• Serve as a role model for excellent software skills and a source of domain expertise within the business unit
• Diagnose and fix code problems
• Deliver code that meets requirements on schedule. Ensure that code is efficient, scalable, maintainable, extensible, robust, and easy to understand
• Optimize code to improve tool run time and memory capacity
• Create unit, regression, and/or system-level tests to thoroughly validate new features or changes

Minimum Education/Certification Requirements and Experience

• B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field, with 10 years work experience or M.Sc. in the same fields with 9 years work experience
• Broad and deep understanding of the C++ language and familiarization with contemporary standards (e.g., C++14) and language constructs
• Experience with high performance computing and parallel programming tools and frameworks
• Experience with the Python programming language
• Strong working knowledge of the Linux operating system
• Strong background in data structures, algorithms, and debugging
• Strong background in scalable algorithm implementation for scientific and engineering applications
• Demonstrated expertise in software development processes
• Ability to evaluate multiple approaches to technical problems and be able to recommend one solution after considering limitations and challenges
• Ability to learn quickly, understand complex systems and to work closely with others
• Ability to complete high-quality work on time
• Communicate clearly with others regarding project status and risks
• Successful large-scale commercial software development

Preferred Qualifications and Skills

• Ph.D. or M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field are preferred qualifications. Minimum relevant work experience with a Ph.D. degree is 7 years and with an M.Sc. degree is 9 years.
• Demonstrated skills in the following areas are a plus:
