Who We’re Looking For

As a Senior Simulation Engineer – Electromagnetic Specialist in Delivery, you are a problem solver and a builder who is passionate about creating practical solutions that enable customers to make better engineering decisions. You are someone who can grasp and apply advanced engineering concepts across multiple industries, and you excel at working directly with customers (and often side-by-side with them on-site) to build models that are integrated into AI-tools that are both useful and used.

You bring strong expertise in electromagnetic modeling and analysis. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with industry-standard simulation tools and a strong foundation in electromagnetic theory applied to real-world applications. Coding skills in Python and/or Java, or the ability to quickly learn programming languages, is an advantage.

With at least 3-5 years of industry experience (post Bachelors, Masters or PhD) in a commercial, non-research environment, you’re ready to hit the ground running. You’re comfortable setting up simulations independently, interpreting results with depth, and making informed decisions based on solid engineering judgement.

This Role

In this role, you’ll work closely with our Data Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, and customers to understand and define the engineering and physics challenges we are solving. You’ll play a crucial role in delivering high-fidelity simulations by, demonstrating skills in one or more of the following areas:

• Low Frequency Electromagnetics

• Magnetostatic and electrostatic simulations

• Motors, transformers, actuators, and inductive components

• Eddy current and EMI analysis

• High Frequency Electromagnetics

• RF/microwave components, antennas, and radar/RCS modeling

• S-parameter and EMC analysis

• Signal integrity and power integrity modeling

• Optics/Photonics

• Optical system design, imaging, and ray-tracing analysis

• Integrated photonics, waveguides, and photonic circuit modeling

• Beam propagation, laser optics, and optical component optimization

Additional Skills and Attributes

Programming & Automation:

• Advanced Python and/or MATLAB coding skills desired for simulation automation and post-processing

Performance & Problem-Solving:

• Identify and implement improvements based on simulation results to enhance system performance

• Strong problem-solving abilities to analyze issues, identify root causes, and recommend solutions quickly

• Demonstrate the ability to scope and effectively deliver projects

Collaboration & Leadership:

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with teams and customers

• For more experienced candidates: passion for and track record of managing, mentoring, and coaching junior colleagues

As the role evolves, there are exciting opportunities for growth as an individual contributor or a technical lead, especially if you’re driven to take ownership of more complex projects and lead the direction of future solutions.

Please note, this role is based in Sinapore, working 2-3 days per week in our new office.
