For over three decades, Silvaco, 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) software, EDA (Electronic Design Automation) software, proven design IP (intellectual property), and world class support to engineers and researchers across the globe. Silvaco 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. Our 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. Silvaco is looking for a software engineer to join our HPC team. Working within the TCAD group, this Software Developer will help Silvaco develop and deliver high-performance computational products. As a member of the TCAD group, you will design, implement, evaluate, and improve the latest algorithms for solving particle and field based PDE solvers on heterogeneous hardware (CPU, MPI, CUDA/GPU) for the solution of the dynamics of large plasma systems. You will also provide recommendations and support to internal engineering teams. The successful candidate will have expert software engineering skills, expertise in implementing mathematical methods and algorithms, and a knowledge of computational plasma physics.

ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES; include but not limited to: *Identify and implement numerical solvers and techniques *Identify potential improvements in the existing solution techniques *Provide accurate and effective written documentation *Communicate complex ideas and results effectively, both orally and in writing

QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIRED EXPERIENCE

*MSc (with relevant experience) or Ph.D. in Computational Science, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, or Physics *Hands on experience in computational plasma physics, and the Particle-In-Cell method *Strong proficiency in C/C++, Python, and software design *Experience with parallel programming, in particular MPI and secondarily OpenMP *Familiarity with device based computing, in particular CUDA and secondarily HIP *Experience with Linux and Windows operating systems *Strong mathematical fundamentals, including linear algebra and numerical methods *Experience in discretization using FDTD and Lagrangian methods *Good understanding of mathematical properties and limitations of spatial discretization techniques like finite difference, finite-sized particles, finite volume, finite element especially in the context of complex meshes with a large dynamic range of cell sizes. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE * Good communication and organization skills, with a logical approach to problem solving, good time management and task prioritization skills The US base salary range f or this full-time position is $155,925 to $175,617. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location, and the range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position across all US locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location, role-related knowledge and skills, depth of experience, relevant education or training, and additional role-related considerations.
