Technology Development Principal Engineer
Global Mission:
You will be responsible for developing technologies for integrated circuit manufacturing. This role involves taking part in setting the foundation of new technologies and defining test structures to evaluate process and device performances. You will also propose improvements and assist engineers in process optimizations.
Key Responsibilities:
* As a technologist with experience, you will be involved in initial technology conception, resulting technology specifications, underlying design rules, and process architecture definition. You will also define mask generation equations and become the owner of technology-related design- and generation-rules.
* As a leader of new technology developments, your primary role will be to define and adapt smart test structures to assess process response and device characteristics. You will analyze and interpret characterization results of devices and test structures to derive tunings and improvements.
* As a partner of process engineering, you will provide guidance-inputs to process engineers in their process optimization tasks.
Requirements:
* Master's degree in Science or Engineering.
* A minimum of 5-8 years of experience in a similar position, preferably built upon practical experience in lithography-etch-metrology areas.
* Good understanding of both design and manufacturing environments.
* Strong motivation in all aspects of technology development related to IC manufacturing, from definition to release to mass production.
* Solid background in IC manufacturing, process integration, and general device-physics.
* Experience with embedded-NVM, TCAD process and device simulations, and/or spice device modeling would be beneficial.
* Effective hands-on experience with test structures interpretation and conception, including own layout skills.
* Familiarity with statistical data analysis and problem-solving techniques.
* Strong personal initiative, self-learning capabilities, and a multicultural mindset.
* Excellent communication skills in English (written and verbal).
