* Develop novel, high-performance, high-reliability power switching device technology
* Work closely with process engineers toward development of new process flows and design rules
* Design and execute TCAD simulation experiments to center critical process and design parameters
* Identify critical design parameters and process sensitivities which affect yield to pre-defined specifications
* Collaborate with internal CAD team to develop test mask and product mask layouts and parameterized cells (P-Cells)
* Design and analyze process and design split experiments
* Work closely with applications and test engineers to gather characterization data and ensure robust test methodologies
* Help identify testing requirements for new technologies based on specific device architectures and application stresses
* Analyze measured device and test structure data to solve problems and optimize device design and process
* Provide engineering support for existing power semiconductor products

Skills You'll Need

* US Citizenship or Permanent Resident status
* M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or relevant field with 10+ years' outstanding experience in power semiconductor device engineering
