Principal Device Design Engineer

Job Description

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.

Qualifications

• Expertise in one or more of the following areas: Power Semiconductor Devices, Semiconductor Device Physics, Semiconductor Device Reliability, Semiconductor Manufacturing, Materials Science, TCAD modeling and simulation, Device layout
• Understanding of switched-mode power applications, implications of packaging and PCB parasitics during switching, implications of package and PCB materials on thermal characteristics, influence of / requirements for MOSFET driver
• Demonstrated track record of commercially successful power MOSFET developments, direct experience in advanced Switching Power MOSFET structures
• M.S. or Ph.D. in relevant field with 7+ years’ experience in power semiconductor device engineering
