Staff Software Engineer, Simulator Development joins the Power & Thermal Lab team to develop and extend a trace-driven power and thermal simulation engine. The role involves integrating IP-level power macromodels into system-level flows, managing time-indexed simulations across both domains, and generating transient power maps for spatiotemporal hotspot analysis. The engineer will interface with reduced-order thermal models and CFD-calibrated solvers while ensuring overall simulation performance, scalability, and reproducibility. Candidates must possess a strong C++ software engineering background and experience building or extending simulation frameworks. Required skills include expertise in discrete-event or time-stepped architectures, software design, debugging, and performance optimization. Preferred qualifications include knowledge of numerical methods, reduced-order modeling, and data-pipeline integration. This role focuses on solving complex power and thermal challenges within the semiconductor domain by creating coherent, scalable simulation flows for hardware systems.
