The Senior RD Engineer is responsible for the development of software products for semiconductor analysis. In this role, the Senior RD Engineer will use advanced technical and problem-solving skills to help the team tackle complex issues, satisfy customer requirements, and accomplish development objectives.
Innovation in semiconductor design and manufacturing enables smaller device architectures with higher performance and energy efficiency for powering the smart product revolution. The physics associated with shrinking geometries, especially in the emerging 3-D IC, FinFET and stacked-die architectures, brings out design challenges related to power and reliability, affecting design closure. ANSYS simulation and modeling tools offer the sign-off accuracy and performance needed to ensure power noise integrity and reliability of even the most complex ICs, considering electromigration, thermal effects and electrostatic discharge phenomena.
Key Duties and Responsibilities
Performs development activities that may require extensive analysis in areas including user experience, software design and solver research.
Employs best practices and helps to maintain them through technical reviews and mentoring
Performs complex bug verification, release testing and beta support for assigned products.
Researches problems discovered by QA or product support and develops solutions
Researches and understands the marketing requirements for a product, including target environment, performance criteria and competitive issues.
Works independently with minimal supervision and may take on some planning and mentoring responsibilities.
May be responsible for managing interns or co-ops but typically does not have direct reports.
