Req ID: 408945

Siemens EDA D2S Bangalore group, a part of Semiconductor Manufacturing Division of Siemens EDA, is looking for a committed Product Engineer to support, define and improve software solutions in the semiconductor manufacturing domain of Mask Data Preparation (MDP). The Product Engineer for Calibre Semiconductor Manufacturing Products leads the process of compiling requirement specifications for data preparation software and production tape-out flows for the semiconductor manufacturing – covering the applications from layer extraction and Boolean operations, through resolution enhancements and optical proximity correction (OPC), verification and mask process correction and data preparation and interacts with engineering during implementation and testing for new functionality. The Product Engineer works closely with the software development team, the product team as well as a team of product engineers in related product lines.

The primary roles and responsibilities include:

Support key customer engagements such as benchmarks, feature evaluation, tool/flow deployment etc.

Develop and deliver training materials to customers and field.

Develop Product Requirement Documents (PRDs), from customer requirements and industry trends, that describe product features with sufficient detail that Software Development engineers can develop new features accurately

Work closely with R&D, QA, and field to bring features to production, including testing and characterizing new features, filing defect reports and enhancement requests, developing materials to track and communicate development.

Promote MDP products by creating materials that characterize new features, write application notes, and conference papers to communicate new feature flows to customers, field, and industry.

Travel to customer sites when required to provide technical support and to receive customer feedback. Participate in and sometimes lead telecom meetings with customers and/or with internal Siemens’ personnel.

Develop an understanding of the markets Siemens EDA products serve by doing literature research and by attending technical conferences.

Develop test cases and test methodology to test existing and new product functionality and to troubleshoot problems or failures identified with internal testing or by customers.
