Senior Device Engineer

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Device Engineer to join our GaN Technology Development team and contribute to the research, design, and development of next-generation advanced GaN-based power devices. In this role, you will help develop innovative device architectures and advance existing technology platforms to enable robust, high-performance GaN devices for power conversion applications.

You will work closely with cross-functional engineering teams and foundry partners, applying semiconductor device physics, TCAD simulation, electrical characterization, and data-driven analysis to help develop scalable, manufacturable GaN technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the design, development, and optimization of enhancement-mode GaN HEMTs for high-power applications.
• Research and evaluate novel device architectures to improve electrical performance, manufacturability, and long-term robustness.
• Assist in planning and executing Design of Experiments (DOE) to evaluate new device structures, layouts, and technology options.
• Perform TCAD simulations to characterize and predict device behavior.
• Support on-wafer electrical characterization to advance technology development.
• Analyze wafer- and package-level electrical data to identify performance limitations and support device optimization.
• Collaborate with foundry partners to evaluate device and process tradeoffs affecting yield, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Document findings, prepare engineering reports, and present results to cross-functional teams.

Required Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field; or M.S. in one of these fields with 4+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Strong foundation in semiconductor device physics, power devices, and wide-bandgap semiconductor technologies.
• Hands-on experience with TCAD tools (e.g., Synopsys Sentaurus, Silvaco Atlas, or equivalent).
• Experience with electrical characterization and data interpretation for semiconductor devices.
• Programming experience in Python, MATLAB, or similar languages for engineering analysis and automation.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, both written and verbal.

Preferred Qualifications

• Research experience with high-power GaN devices (academic or industry).
• Working knowledge of semiconductor reliability mechanisms and their influence on device design.
• Exposure to designing or analyzing DOEs for device development.
• Familiarity with semiconductor failure analysis techniques.
• Publications, patents, conference presentations, or other technical contributions from graduate research.
