Careers
Profile of career opportunities in computational electromagnetics software development.
Career Profiles
Careers in computational electromagnetics (CEM) can be sorted into three main catagories:
Engineering
- Product specification, where personnel
determine which new features should be added to the product and also
how to go about doing this. A detailed knowledge of the product
and underlying architecture is required.
- Kernel development, where CEM specialists
work to add new numerical methods to the product and to optimise
existing ones. They also ensure that the computational engine
runs smoothly and optimally on as many hardware platforms as possible,
including processor architecture, networking technologies and operating
system specifics in their considerations.
Application Engineering
- Marketing, where engineers work with the
product on a daily basis, creating material to promote the strengths
and abilities of the product but also to educate customers about the
finer detail of working with a CEM tool.
- Support, where engineers assist customers
who have questions about the product. Support engineers know the
usage of the software very well and are experts at exploiting its
features.
- Consulting projects, where engineers work
on large simulation projects for customers without the skill or
resources to do so themselves. Models are created and verified
before simulations are done to find answers to customer
questions.
CAD Environment Developing
- CAD development, consists of a team of
programmers who leverage the latest programming technology to create a
3D CAD environment for the creation of simulation models, specification
of simulation parameters and visualisation of results.
