About the role

  • Define on-wafer and packaged device characterization plans, including DC, capacitance-voltage (CV), small-signal RF (S-parameters), noise, and large-signal measurements (e.g., load-pull, pulsed I-V)
  • Develop and refine accurate, physics-based compact models for GaN HEMTs using industry-standard modeling tools and techniques (e.g., MVSG, ASM-HEMT, Angelov)
  • Utilize TCAD and circuit simulation tools (e.g., Keysight ADS, Cadence AWR/Spectre, Synopsys, Silvaco) to perform simulations, analyze data, and validate model accuracy against hardware measurements
  • Collaborate with the PDK Team and provide support for both internal and external customers
  • Work closely with process engineers to link device performance to fabrication parameters
  • Conduct in-depth analysis of test data, identify device or measurement issues, and propose solutions for performance and yield improvement
  • Prepare detailed technical reports, documentation, and application notes for model usage and limitations
  • Research and develop novel modeling solutions and characterization techniques, and mentor junior engineers or team members.

Requirements

  • 15+ years of experience in semiconductor device characterization and modeling, specifically with RF GaN HEMT technologies
  • Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field
  • Deep theoretical and practical understanding of GaN device physics and materials science
  • Proficiency with RF characterization equipment (network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, load-pull systems, probe stations)
  • Expertise in industry-standard RF simulation and modeling tools (Keysight ADS, Cadence AWR, TCAD tools, etc.)
  • Strong programming and data analysis skills (e.g., Python, MATLAB, C++) for automation and data interpretation.

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
  • Total Rewards package
