About the role

Keysight Technologies in Santa Clara, CA, is seeking a PhD-level optics/software engineer to design and automate advanced optical simulations. You will work with CODE V, LightTools, Zemax, and RSoft to build production-grade tools. You will implement AI-assisted workflows, integrate simulations, and collaborate with application engineers and software teams to enable end-to-end optical studies.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
