About the Job

Requirements

  • A Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline, or a Master's degree with 3+ years of relevant experience working in semiconductor device modeling and characterization.
  • Strong foundational knowledge of semiconductor device physics, especially as it relates to compact modeling across various device types.
  • Proven hands-on experience performing deep-submicron CMOS and BCD device measurements, including use of parametric analyzers, LCR meters, and other precision instrumentation.
  • Skilled in operating manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic probers for device-level test and characterization.
  • Familiarity with both active and passive device structures in CMOS and BCD process technologies.
  • Solid understanding of device noise, mismatch behavior, and how these impact circuit-level performance.
  • Knowledge of the physics of device aging and long-term reliability mechanisms.
  • Experience designing test structures (individual devices and arrays) for silicon characterization.
  • Demonstrated expertise in SPICE model generation, validation, and QA flows.
  • Excellent verbal communication and technical writing skills, with the ability to clearly document results, methodologies, and model behavior.

Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of device lab operations, ensuring equipment is optimized and running flawlessly.
  • Perform a broad range of silicon device characterization.
  • Extract accurate SPICE and aging models.
  • Help shape the foundation of next-generation semiconductor technologies.

Desired Qualifications

  • Ability to stress-test devices to evaluate post-stress behavior and safe-operating-area (SOA) limits.
  • Prior exposure to digital and analog design flows and broader design methodologies.
  • Experience running simulations in Cadence ADE.
  • Knowledge of test-structure layout across multiple technology nodes, including advanced CMOS and BCD/HV for analog and mixed-signal products.
  • Strong coding ability in Python, Perl, or similar scripting languages to support analysis and automation.
