Keysight Design Engineering Software (DES) is Keysight’s advanced software organization building industry\-leading Electronic Design Automation, Computer\-Aided Engineering, and Multiphysics simulation platforms. These tools are used by the world’s leading electronics companies to design, simulate, and validate high\-frequency, high\-speed, and highly complex electronic systems.

Within DES, the R\&D center in Ghent, Belgium develops cutting\-edge physics\-based simulation technology across electromagnetics, photonics, and now thermal modeling. The team is currently expanding its thermal simulation capabilities to support next\-generation PCB, package, and 3D\-IC design.

The environment is international, highly technical, and collaborative, with engineers from more than 20 nationalities working on globally deployed simulation platforms. About the Role
We are hiring a Senior Thermal CAD Software Developer to help build and scale Keysight’s thermal CAD simulation platform for electronic design.
This role sits at the intersection of:* Physics\-based thermal modeling

• High\-performance numerical algorithms


• Large\-scale C\+\+ simulation software

You will not just write code — you will shape how thermal simulation is delivered to electronics engineers designing PCBs, packages, and 3D\-ICs. You will work closely with product managers, R\&D, QA and customer\-facing teams to ensure the solver technology translates into usable, high\-value design tools.
Responsibilities:

• Architect, design, and implement thermal simulation capabilities for Keysight’s EDA platform


• Integrate thermal solvers into PCB, package, and 3D\-IC design workflows


• Develop and optimize numerical algorithms for large\-scale thermal simulations


• Debug and resolve solver accuracy, convergence, and performance issues


• Work with Product Management and Technical Support to translate customer needs into solver and workflow features


• Apply best practices in modern C\+\+ software engineering (modular design, testability, performance, maintainability)


• Contribute to code reviews, CI pipelines, documentation, and quality standards

Qualifications: Required Qualifications* MSc or PhD in Thermal Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, or similar

• Strong background in computational thermal modeling, CFD, or numerical simulation (e.g., OpenFOAM or similar)


• Hands\-on experience developing large\-scale numerical solvers


• Expert\-level C\+\+ (modern C\+\+, not just basic scripting)


• Experience designing robust, high\-performance simulation software


• Strong analytical and problem\-solving skills


• Ability to collaborate across international, multi\-disciplinary teams

Desired Qualifications* Python for scripting, prototyping, or automation

• Knowledge of electronics thermal design (PCB, IC packages, power electronics, 3D\-IC)


• Experience with high\-performance computing (HPC) and solver optimization


• Experience with Git, CI/CD, and modern build systems
