Engineer, RF Characterization Device Modeling
About The Position
The Device Development and Modeling Engineer will be a member of the team responsible for the characterization and modeling of pSemi's patented high-performance UltraCMOS™ process technology. This is a hands-on R&D position that combines laboratory-based device characterization, data analysis, and semiconductor device modeling. The successful candidate will work closely with device, modeling, process, and design engineers to generate high-quality measurement data, investigate device behavior, support technology development activities, and contribute to model extraction and validation. This role offers the opportunity to gain extensive experience with advanced semiconductor measurement techniques, RF device characterization, and next-generation device development in a collaborative research and development environment.
Requirements
- Understanding of semiconductor device physics, microelectronics, RF engineering, or IC design.
- Experience with laboratory measurement equipment and characterization techniques including DC IV, CV, and S-parameter measurements.
- Knowledge of RF device modeling and model extraction concepts.
- Knowledge of RF and analog circuit concepts.
- Experience with S-parameter calibration and de-embedding techniques.
- Understanding of FET, SOI, CMOS and HBT device operation.
- Programming experience in Python, MATLAB, or similar scientific computing environments.
- Experience with Keysight ADS, Cadence Virtuoso, IC-CAP, or similar EDA tools.
- Experience analyzing technical data using engineering tools and software.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with attention to detail.
- Ability to work effectively in a collaborative R&D environment.
Responsibilities
- Design and execute characterization plans for semiconductor devices using advanced wafer-level DC and RF measurement systems.
- Perform hands-on laboratory measurements and data collection to support device development, technology characterization, and model generation activities.
- Analyze characterization data to investigate device behavior, identify performance trends, and understand non-ideal or non-classical effects.
- Collaborate with device, process, modeling, and circuit design engineers to evaluate new technologies and resolve technical challenges.
- Develop and maintain measurement automation scripts and data analysis tools to improve testing efficiency and data quality.
- Support the specification, evaluation, and implementation of advanced characterization equipment and measurement methodologies.
- Troubleshoot measurement systems, test structures, and experimental setups to support root-cause analysis of technical issues.
- Contribute to device development, model validation and model extraction activities through data review and statistical analysis.
- Capable to perform basic model extraction of passive and/or active devices.
- Document experimental procedures, measurement methodologies, and technical findings through reports, presentations, and internal knowledge-sharing resources.
- Maintain device and modeling documentation and support updates to internal technical databases and websites.
