Principal Electrical Engineer

Job description

We are seeking an experienced Principal Process Technology Engineer to provide technical leadership in semiconductor device and process technology development and product enablement. This role will collaborate with foundry partners and Design, Product Engineering, Reliability, Packaging, and Operations teams to ensure successful product tape-outs and production ramps. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in semiconductor device physics, process and device development, and characterization, and can translate technology capabilities and limitations into practical guidance for circuit and product development.

Key Responsibilities

Serve as the technical interface with foundry partners, driving device and process development, qualification, reliability, and continuous improvement. Lead device and modeling test-chip tape-outs, characterization, and analysis. Lead risk-reduction and enablement activities for new technologies and product development. Drive collaboration across Design, Product Engineering, Packaging, Reliability, and Operations teams.

Provide technical guidance to design teams throughout development and tape-out. Benchmark technology platforms for competitiveness and alignment with product and business requirements.

Qualifications

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field, with 10+ years of semiconductor industry experience. Strong understanding of CMOS and BCD process integration, device physics, and reliability. Extensive experience working with semiconductor foundries and BCD technologies; advanced-node experience is a plus. Experience with PDKs, SPICE models, and device simulation. Experience with device and modeling test-chip tape-outs and characterization using semiconductor parameter analyzers, power device analyzers, and TLP systems.

Excellent cross-functional communication skills, with a proven ability to align stakeholders and resolve complex technical challenges.
