EDA Software Engineer – Photonic & Electronic Circuits
Keysight Technologies SAles Spain SL., Sauk Trail Beach, Wisconsin, United States
Overview
Keysight is at the forefront of technology innovation, delivering breakthroughs and trusted insights in electronic design, simulation, prototyping, test, manufacturing, and optimization. Our ~15,000 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do.
About the Team Keysight EDA is pioneering Electronic-Photonic Design Automation (EPDA), a new generation of tools that allows photonic ICs to be designed, simulated, and validated using electronic-style EDA workflows.
Our EPDA program brings together electronics, photonics, and software engineering to solve one of the industry’s hardest problems: How to design photonic chips with the same rigor, scalability, and automation as electronic ICs.
The team spans Belgium and India and is growing fast as EPDA becomes a core pillar of Keysight’s advanced EDA portfolio.
At Keysight Belgium, you will work in a modern, multicultural high-tech environment with 22+ nationalities, strong R&D culture, profit sharing, pension and health insurance, and a collaborative engineering mindset.
About The Role We are hiring software engineers with strong electronic design, simulation, or EDA backgrounds to build the next generation of Photonic IC design tools.
This role focuses on building circuit-level design, simulation, and verification software that enables photonic devices (lasers, modulators, waveguides, detectors) to be treated like electronic components inside EDA flows. You will not be doing optical lab work. You will be building the EDA software, models, and flows that photonic chip designers use every day.
Responsibilities
Design and implement EDA software for photonic IC simulation, verification, and layout
Develop circuit-level models of photonic components that integrate with electronic simulation engines
Build and maintain Process Design Kit (PDK) infrastructure for photonic foundries
Enable co-simulation of electronic and photonic circuits
Integrate EPDA modules into Keysight’s broader EDA platform
Work with R&D teams across Belgium and India to define architecture, APIs, and workflows
Debug, validate, and optimize simulation accuracy and performance
Qualifications Required Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related
Solid experience in C++ and/or Python
Experience in circuit simulation, modeling, or EDA tools
Understanding of SPICE-like simulators, RF simulation, or CAD tools
Experience working with complex engineering software systems
Comfortable working in distributed, multi-site R&D teams
Desired Qualifications:
Experience with EDA tools (Cadence, Synopsys, Ansys, Keysight, etc.)
Knowledge of photonic components (waveguides, modulators, lasers, detectors)
Experience with PDKs, design flows, or foundry data
Background in RF, mixed-signal, or high-speed electronics
Understanding of numerical simulation or physics-based modeling
Careers Privacy Statement
Keysight is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
