Position Summary Senior Level Semiconductor High Voltage LNDMOS Device Engineer
plays a pivotal role in the design, development, and optimization of high voltage power semiconductor devices. The engineer will advance LNDMOS technology to enable reliable, efficient, and high-performance solutions for automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, and renewable energy systems. Bridging theoretical device physics and practical manufacturing, the engineer ensures delivery of robust products that meet stringent industry standards.
Essential Duties And Responsibilities
Device Design and Development: Lead and execute design of high voltage LNDMOS devices, considering breakdown voltage, on-resistance, charge balance, and ruggedness. Utilize CAD and TCAD simulation tools to model electrical, thermal, and reliability characteristics, iterating designs to achieve optimal performance.
Process Integration: Collaborate closely with process engineers to define and refine process flows for LNDMOS device fabrication. Evaluate and select suitable materials, doping profiles, and process steps to achieve desired device specifications, manufacturability, and yield.
Device Characterization: Plan and conduct electrical, thermal, and reliability characterization of fabricated devices. Analyze test data to validate models, extract key device parameters, and identify areas for improvement.
Technology Innovation: Research and implement new architectures, materials, and device structures (e.g., trench, superjunction, shielded gate) to push the boundaries of LNDMOS performance. Stay abreast of academic and industry advances, proposing innovative solutions for future products.
Failure Analysis and Problem Solving: Investigate device failures using advanced diagnostic tools (SEM, TEM, FIB, EDX, etc.), root-cause analysis, and simulation. Recommend corrective actions and support continuous improvement efforts.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Interface with teams across device design, process engineering, test and characterization, packaging, and product engineering to ensure seamless development and launch of LNDMOS-based products.
Documentation and Reporting: Produce detailed technical documentation, including design specifications, simulation reports, process flows, and characterization results. Present findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Product Qualification and Reliability: Support product qualification cycles by designing and executing reliability tests (e.g., HTRB, TDDB, ESD, UIS) and working with quality teams to meet international standards and customer requirements.
Yield Enhancement and Cost Optimization: Analyze manufacturing data to identify yield detractors and cost drivers, working with manufacturing teams to implement solutions for device and process improvement.
Technical Support: Provide guidance and expertise to application engineers, field teams, and customers for integrating LNDMOS devices into end applications, troubleshooting, and ensuring optimal performance.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
Familiarity with automotive, industrial, or renewable energy power electronics applications.
Proficiency in device and process simulation tools (e.g., Synopsys Sentaurus, Silvaco Atlas).
Strong understanding of semiconductor physics, high voltage breakdown mechanisms, and reliability phenomena.
Hands‑on experience with wafer fabrication, cleanroom protocols, and device characterization equipment.
Familiarity with advanced failure analysis tools and methodologies.
Knowledge of industry standards for device reliability and ruggedness.
Experience with statistical analysis and data‑driven problem solving.
Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills for technical presentations and documentation.
Ability to work independently and as part of cross‑functional teams.
Creative problem‑solver with a passion for innovation.
Results‑driven mindset with a commitment to quality and continuous improvement.
Education & Experience
Master's or Doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field with a focus on semiconductor devices or microelectronics.
Minimum 10 years of direct experience in power semiconductor device engineering, with a strong emphasis on high voltage LNDMOS or LDMOS design and fabrication. Experience with other power devices (IGBT, SiC/GaN MOSFETs) is a plus.
Publications or patents in power devices or LNDMOS technology.
Proven track record of leading device development projects from concept to mass production.
Experience engaging with customers and stakeholders to translate application needs into device requirements.
