Our ~15,000 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do.\nOur award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.\nAbout the Role\nWe are seeking an experienced Senior Software Engineer to help shape and advance the core architecture of a next-generation semiconductor design platform. In this role, you will play a key technical part in expanding data representations, system-level APIs, and high-performance execution engines optimized for complex 3D Heterogeneous Integration (3DHI) and programmatic workflows. You will partner with domain experts across physical layout, schematic verification, and simulation to enhance flexible, high-throughput systems that bridge high-level design intent with multi-physics verification engines. If you thrive on solving complex system modeling challenges, scaling software infrastructure, and guiding technical decision-making within a collaborative engineering environment, this position offers the opportunity to drive meaningful impact on our advanced EDA architecture.\nResponsibilities\nArchitectural Strategy & Technical Ownership: Drive key technical decisions, platform design, and long-term architectural evolution for core packaging engines, balancing system trade-offs across backend infrastructure and data representations.\nProgrammatic & Interoperability Interfaces: Design and maintain scalable APIs, data-exchange layers, and execution pipelines that support code-first design flows, automated layout/schematic generation, and advanced multi-agent execution frameworks.\n Integration Frameworks: Help architect extensible, decoupled integration interfaces to enable smooth, low-latency interoperability with both internal solvers and third-party simulation tools (multiphysics, SI/PI, and DRC/LVS engines).\nHeadless Infrastructure & Performance Optimization: Optimize high-throughput runtime engines for automated design-space exploration, batch execution, and deterministic performance in programmatic, headless operational environments.\nDesign Rule & System Verification: Develop robust validation loops, constraint-checking mechanisms, and system-level observability to ensure programmatically generated designs consistently satisfy physical and manufacturability requirements.\nCross-Functional Collaboration & Technical Mentorship: Partner closely with domain specialists, systems leads, and engineering teams to establish design standards, review complex codebases, and guide execution across the platform.\nQualifications\nRequired\nBachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related technical field. \n8+ years of software development experience, including 2+ years in software architecture\nStrong expertise in C++ and/or Rust.\nDemonstrated experience architecting complex data structures for large-scale engineering applications.\nStrong background in building low-latency, high-throughput backend services, or multi-threaded/concurrent data engines.\nDemonstrated ability to drive consensus on complex technical design trade-offs, author clear architecture specifications, and guide large feature initiatives across cross-functional engineering teams.\nDeep commitment to software quality, including automated test frameworks, deterministic build environments, CI/CD pipelines, and rigorous code-review practices.\nPreferred Qualifications\nStrong proficiency in Python, with experience in C++/Rust integration\nExperience designing validation frameworks, rule-checking engines, and telemetry to track state changes and catch constraint violations early.\nFamiliarity with programmatic interaction patterns or multi-agent execution frameworks designed to handle complex, iterative automation loops.\nFamiliarity with electronic design and packaging abstractions, such as schematic connectivity, physical layout hierarchies, netlisting, or multi-die 2.5D/3D packaging concepts.\nThe level of role will be based on applicable experience, education and skills; Most offers will be between the minimum and the midpoint of the Salary Range listed below.\nCA pay range: MIN $129,450- MAX $215,740\nNote: For other locations, pay ranges will vary by region\nThis role is eligible for our Keysight Results Bonus Program\nUS Employees may be eligible for the following benefits:\nMedical, dental and vision\nHealth Savings Account\nHealth Care and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts\nLife, Accident, Disability insurance\nBusiness Travel Accident and Business Travel Health\n401(k) Plan\nFlexible Time Off, Paid Holidays\nPaid Family Leave\nDiscounts, Perks\nTuition Reimbursement\nAdoption Assistance\nESPP (Employee Stock Purchase Plan)\nRestricted Stock Units\nCareers Privacy Statement\nKeysight is an Equal Opportunity Employer\nKeysight Technologies Inc. is an equal opportunity employer.
