In this role you will work on a desktop application for use by circuit engineers. This will be a GUI front end to a complex engineering application. The GUI will present 2-D graphics, diagrams, line drawing. Use of tabbed dialogs, entry forms, wizards, tear-out editors, text editor cross probing. Our patent-pending techniques will be applied to graphics processing involving maps and layout. You will have lots of leeway to suggest and develop new approaches, as much of the GUI is slated for re-implementation from the ground up.

• Min 3 years experience working on complex applications in C++.
• Experience drawing 2D diagrams such as schematic, layout, object placement.
• Qt familiarity is required, with experience in any modern GUI environment (Java, Qt, etc).
• Must be clear thinking, logical, inventive, able to sort out essential parts to create a clean use model.
• Math background is helpful.
• Background in circuit applications is a bonus but not required.

In this role you will work on a desktop application for use by circuit engineers. The application makes heavy use of many graph traversal techniques on multi-dimensional circuit networks. You'll have opportunity to work heads-down on algorithms, as well as periods of refinement from feedback by technical users in the field. You will be exposed to select beta customers, who are design engineers in the electronics industry. You have an inherent fascination with optimizing search, traversal, parallel processing, and reduction problems. In this position you will frequently take ideas all the way from whiteboard to implementation and regression tests.

• Min 3 years experience working on complex applications in C++.
• Math background, applications in graph traversal, graph isomorphism.
• Experience in multi-threading, multi-processing, processor farms is a plus.
• Experience in performance and memory profiling techniques, based on Linux.
• Extensive use of searching, caching, sorting large data sets.
• Background in circuit applications is desired but not necessary.

Talented, bright engineer with hands-on practical approaches to problem solving. In this role you will interface directly with customers, tailoring existing software products to users technical applications. The users are mostly circuit design engineers and technical management. Your responsibility can easily grow to large portions of a successful product. You will have lots of latitude to invent new solutions, either in script, methodology, or C++ where applicable. On a daily basis we use PERL, Tcl, shell scripts, and C++ to tackle challenging problems both internally as well as for our technical user base. As an Applications Engineer you will be exposed to our existing users, both locally and worldwide, and will be rewarded for helping us win new accounts.

• Min 3 years experience writing Tcl or PERL scripts, at least 1 year applicable to electronics applications.
• Proven skills in communicating technical concepts through written documentation.
• Background in circuit design, preferably at the transistor level.
• Familiarity with schematic entry, electronics diagram tools.
• Knowledge of analog and digital simulation practices.
• Working knowledge of Linux.
• Passion for winning new business by demonstrating inventive solutions.

Here's what you will be working on:

• Interfacing with individual engineer users, mostly through email, regarding technical applications of company's software.
• Investigating customers' circuits (usually full-chip netlists) for design reliability based on specific application criteria: Low power, mixed signal, high performance digital, etc.
• Occasional on-site customer visits, local to Silicon Valley area, to review workflow, circuit methodology, assisting CAD engineers and end users.
• Providing feedback to software developers, focused on the usability and new technical applications of company's products.
• Creating script-based tests for engineers to run on their own circuits.
• Debug, modify, extend, re-use existing script code for new applications. MUST have proven debugging skills.
• Add to library of technical material such as user manual, app notes, online help guides.
