About the Team
Keysight Design Engineering Software (DES) is Keysight’s advanced software division, delivering industry-leading Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and simulation platforms for high-frequency, high-speed, and highly complex electronic systems. Our portfolio spans electromagnetic simulation, system modeling, circuit design, and multiphysics analysis, supporting engineers from concept through manufacturing validation.
Within DES, the R&D center in Ghent, Belgium develops world-class electromagnetic solvers and design-flow technologies for Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) in high-speed digital systems. The team builds the core engines behind SIPro and PIPro, Keysight’s flagship EM-based SI/PI analysis tools used globally by PCB, package, and 3DIC designers.
Keysight Belgium offers a highly international, collaborative engineering environment with deep technical focus, modern facilities, and strong employee benefits.
About the Role
As an Electromagnetic Simulation Engineer (SI/PI EDA Tools) , you will develop the core EM solvers, algorithms, and data-flow engines behind Keysight’s SIPro and PIPro products.
You will work at the intersection of computational electromagnetics, numerical methods, and high-performance software engineering, building simulation engines that model signal and power behavior in today’s fastest, densest electronic systems — from PCB traces to packages and 3D ICs.
Your work directly impacts how leading electronics companies design reliable, high-speed hardware.
Responsibilities
- Develop and improve full-wave and quasi-static EM solvers for SI/PI analysis
- Implement numerical algorithms, matrix solvers, meshing, and field computation methods
- Optimize solver speed, stability, memory usage, and scalability
- Integrate EM solvers into EDA design flows for PCB, package, and 3DIC platforms
- Build data-flow pipelines for simulation setup, execution, and post-processing
- Write high-quality C++ (core engine) and Python (tooling, automation) code
- Contribute to CI/CD, automated testing, and performance benchmarking
- Work with SI/PI engineers, product teams, and UX to define requirements
- Debug numerical issues, convergence problems, and real-world customer designs
