Senior C Engineer (with C++)

Scope of the role

• Maintenance and development of an analog / mixed-signal simulator - work on a mature product, 80% of the code is C and around 20% is C++.

80% of the tasks are maintenance (inside the existing C code), about 20% is new functionality development

• Algorithms simulating electrical phenomena - working with algorithms that translate an electronic circuit into the digital world: reflections in long lines, disturbances, noise, electrical states on a PCB. Part of these topics is solved with matrix methods and systems of equations
• Taking over a product area and international cooperation - working hours: Polish timezone, with two afternoon meetings per week with the team in the US (West Coast), code reviews and architecture discussions,
