Company Overview For over three decades, our client, based in Silicon Valley, California, and with global locations around the world, has solved semiconductor design challenges by offering affordable and competitive TCAD (Technology Computer Aided Design) and EDA (Electronic Design Automation) softwares, proven design IP (intellectual property), and world class support to engineers and researchers across the globe.
Their solutions span from atoms to systems: starting with simulation of material behavior impacting semiconductor devices, to design and analysis of transistor circuits, and lastly providing IP blocks for systems-on-chip (SoC) designs.
These solutions are deployed in production flows across broad industry segments such as leading display companies, automotive OEM suppliers, and top Memory, 5G, and IoT (internet of things) providers.
What you will be doing As a member of the TCAD group, you will design, implement, evaluate and improve the latest parallel algorithms for the solution of large non-linear hyperbolic PDE system, including their discretization and linearization, as well as the solution of the related linear systems, and provide recommendations and support to internal engineering teams.
ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES - Identify and implement new numerical solvers and techniques - Identify potentials for improvements in the existing solution techniques - Provide accurate and effective written documentation - Communicate complex ideas and testing results effectively, both orally and in writing QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIRED EXPERIENCE Hard Skill Ph.D. in Computational Science, Mathematics, Computer Science or Engineering - Strong proficiency in C/C++, software design - Experience with parallel programming, especially pthreads, OpenMP, and MPI - Experience with Linux and Windows operating systems - Strong mathematical fundamentals, including linear algebra and numerical methods - Experience in discretizing and solving hyperbolic PDE systems and with linear solvers to support this - Good understanding of mathematical properties and limitations of techniques like TR, BDF, Runge Kutta and related time discretization techniques - Good understanding of mathematical properties and limitations of spacial discretization techniques like finite volume, finite difference, finite element especially in the context of complex meshes and very large dynamic ranges of solution variables Soft skills - Natural team player who works well in international and remote team - Strong written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills.
- Creative problem-solving skills.
- Good time management, and task prioritization skills.
