PRINCIPAL C++ HPC /NUMERICAL SOFTWARE ENGINEER - CORK CITY, IRELAND

Client:

Our client a leading Multinational Semiconductor EDA provider requires Principal C++ HPC/Numerical Methods Software Engineer for role based in Cork City, Ireland.

Role:

This role is within the Parasitic Extraction area, it's a multi-faceted position encapsulating a mix of software development, algorithm development, software debugging, performance optimization, accuracy analysis, specifically targeted at numerical methods

Responsibilities:

• Specifically, this role is targeting someone to work on our core field solvers.
• You will be working with cutting edge numerical processing software operating in both multi-threaded and distributed domains.
• You will be also expected to design, develop, fix bugs and respond to customer queries, define project completion checklists; collaborate with cross-function teams.
• You will have a chance to contribute to the main Physical Verification flows in EDA industry and your work will be visible through billions of electronic devices deployed worldwide.

Education:

• Qualifications (ideally post graduate) in computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or Electrical/Electronic Engineering

Desirable Skills

• Hands-on coding & debugging (C++) in a UNIX environment for computationally intensive applications. Experience of working with multiple developers on large codebases is valued
• Proven ability to make programs run faster and consume less memory using algorithmic optimization, multi-threading, distribution, HPC. Ability to analyse complexity (big O notation) is a must
• Experience developing and optimizing numerical methods to solve complex problems (applying these methods to Maxwell’s equations or similar would be considered a big plus)
• Familiar with the full software development lifecycle from Requirements to final delivery.
• Software development environments, version control, Linux, scripting languages such as Tcl/Perl/Python
• Someone with industry experience developing scientific software
