Staff Engineer Wafer Technology and Device Development (f/m/div)

#WeAreIn for jobs that
impact everyone's life. Join the thinkers, builders, and problem-solvers behind
tomorrow’s technology. As a Staff Engineer Wafer Technology & Device
Development, you'll have the opportunity to merge creativity with your
technical expertise by shaping the future of technology, driving groundbreaking
projects, and bringing new ideas to life. Are you in?

Your role Key responsibilities in your new role

Gallium Nitride is a real game changer for
decarbonization and digitalization: converting power far more efficiently than
other semiconductor materials. Joining our team, you'll design future GaN HEMT
concepts hands-on, from TCAD simulation and calibration to manufacturable power
products, making a real impact on energy efficiency and CO2 reduction.

- Device concept engineering of future advanced
GaN HEMT cell structures : explore
new device architectures, layer stacks and field-management concepts for power
transistors
- Simulate the Figures of Merit (FoM) of GaN power
transistors , such as
Ron*A, Ron*Qg, Ron*Qoss etc.
- Provide the first simulated electrical
characteristics of new GaN HEMT concepts  as the basis for developing behavioral SPICE models
- Calibrate TCAD models on experimental data , using both static and dynamic measurements
- Run mixed-mode simulations combining TCAD and
SPICE  to optimize
devices for target applications such as IBC (intermediate bus converters), buck
and boost converters and other power conversion topologies
- Design power device products  by translating simulation results into robust,
manufacturable products in close collaboration with process, design, modeling,
reliability and application teams
- Document and present results , and give clear recommendations to technology
development, product engineering and management

Your profile Qualifications and skills to help you succeed

- A master or PhD degree in Physics, Electrical
Engineering, Power Electronics  or a comparable technical discipline
- 3+ years of relevant industry or research experience  in TCAD simulation, device engineering
or technology development , ideally in the field of power semiconductors
- Solid understanding of semiconductor device physics , with GaN and HEMT structures knowledge (2DEG
formation, polarization, trapping, field plates, p-GaN gate) as a strong plus

Hands-on experience with TCAD tools  (e.g.
Synopsys Sentaurus, Silvaco Atlas or similar), including mixed-mode simulation and
calibration against measured static and dynamic data
- Scripting skills  (e.g. Python, Matlab) for automation and data
analysis
- Knowledge of SPICE and compact modeling  of power
converter topologies (buck, boost, IBC) is an advantage
- A structured, analytical problem-solving
approach and an ownership mindset , with the ability to work in an
international, cross-functional team
- Fluent English skills; German (or motivation
to learn) is an advantage

We offer competitive
salaries and additional benefits based on your performance, experience and
qualification. The employment is in accordance with the collective salary and
wage agreement for employees of the electrical and electronics industry,
employment group G ( https://www.feei.at/aktuelles/mindestloehne-und-gehaelter-eei/ ). The monthly salary is
paid 14 times p.a. We offer a higher compensation depending on your expertise
and skills.
