About this role

About the Role Seeking a Sr. Staff Design Engineer to develop cutting-edge switching power MOSFETs for 12V to 80V applications. You will participate in the full product cycle—from architecture concept through final product characterization—develop novel device structures, optimize performance and ruggedness, and create test methods to demonstrate device capability and limits. This role works with a team of experienced device and process integration engineers to deliver cost-effective, manufacturable devices for demanding power applications, and carries high visibility with potential business and technological impact. What You'll Do

  • Develop novel, high-performance, high-reliability power switching device technology for one of our fast-growing business units
  • Work closely with process engineers toward development of new process flows and design rules
  • Design and execute TCAD simulation experiments to center critical process and design parameters
  • Identify critical design parameters and process sensitivities which affect yield to pre-defined specifications
  • Collaborate with internal CAD and layout teams to develop test mask and product mask layouts and parameterized cells (P-Cells)
  • Design and analyze process and design of split experiments
  • Work closely with applications and test engineers to gather characterization data and ensure robust test methodologies
  • Help identify testing requirements for new technologies based on specific device architectures and application stresses
  • Analyze measured device and test structure data to solve problems and optimize device design and process
  • Provide engineering support for existing power semiconductor products What We're Looking For
  • Semiconductor Device Physics / Solid State Physics
  • Semiconductor Device Process Integration
  • TCAD process and device simulation (preferably Sentaurus)
  • Conversational proficiency in English
  • Business-level proficiency in Japanese Nice to Have
  • Product and test mask layout (preferably Cadence Virtuoso)
  • Design of Experiments methodology
  • Working familiarity with structural and chemical analysis for microelectronics
  • Working familiarity with power device test and characterization equipment and methodologies
  • Understanding of switched-mode power applications and resulting device stresses
  • Demonstrated track record of commercially successful Power MOSFET developments
  • Semiconductor Device Reliability Physics
  • High Voltage VDMOS device engineering
  • Power semiconductor device product development Compensation & Benefits
  • Hybrid work model: employees have 2 days remote per week with the remaining days in the office Tue–Thu to foster innovation, collaboration, and ongoing learning. The role emphasizes a flexible, inclusive environment with a focus on wellbeing.
