Principal Device Design Engineer

We are seeking a Principal Device Design Engineer to develop cutting-edge switching power MOSFETs for 12V to 80V applications. You will participate in the full product cycle from the conception of the architecture through final product characterization. This will involve the development of novel device structures optimization for performance and ruggedness using TCAD simulation and development of test and characterization methods to demonstrate device capability and limits. You will interface with process integration engineers to develop cost-effective manufacturable designs and consult with IC design teams developing the MOSFET drivers. If you like problem-solving and challenging the status quo wed like to hear from you.

What Youll Do

• Develop high-performance power switching devices based on fundamental physical principles and available manufacturing capabilities
• Develop proprietary process flows and identify critical design parameters and process variation sensitivities that affect manufacturability
• Develop simulation experiments to identify critical process and design parameters and center them for reliability performance and manufacturability
• Work closely with fab process engineers toward the development of new process recipes and design rules
• Develop intelligent process and layout experiments for engineering lots to minimize development cycle time
• Execute test mask and product mask layouts with support from CAE team
• Identify testing requirements and techniques for new technologies and advise during characterization and testing
• Analyze measured data on devices and test structures to optimize device design and process
• Provide engineering support for existing power semiconductor products to maintain yield and performance
