Research Engineer - Advanced

Job Title

Research Engineer - Advanced (OPC Modeling & Simulation Platform)

Role Summary

Develop modeling, simulation, and model-calibration software for OPC (optical proximity correction) workflows within a product engineering team. Deliver scalable modeling platforms, high-performance/distributed computing components, database-backed workflows, and engineering user interfaces.

Collaborate with product, research, and engineering teams to translate complex modeling challenges into robust, production-ready software.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting does not specify exact years; typical candidates are mid-career (approximately 3+ years of relevant experience).

Responsibilities

Primary duties include:

• Design and implement modeling and simulation features for OPC workflows.
• Build scalable, database-backed platforms and components for distributed or high-performance computing.
• Develop and improve user interfaces for engineering and data‑intensive applications (desktop or web).
• Translate research and modeling algorithms into maintainable software delivered through standard engineering processes.
• Write clean code, participate in code reviews, and contribute to CI/CD and collaborative development practices.
• Support data pipelines, model calibration, and performance optimization as needed.

Requirements

Must-have:

• Experience with modeling, simulation, or model-calibration workflows.
• Proficient in Python and/or C/C++ with the ability to write clean, maintainable code in a team setting.
• Familiarity with Unix/Linux development environments and common workflows.

Nice-to-have:

• Exposure to distributed computing, high-performance computing, or large-scale data processing.
• Experience with ML infrastructure, model-training workflows, or scalable machine-learning platforms.
• Familiarity with TCL or scripting languages and GUI frameworks (PyQt/PySide) or web-based UI technologies.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
