MEMS Design Engineer - Sr

INVENSENSE, INC. • San Jose, CA

60d • $120,000 - $145,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

The MEMS Design Engineer will take MEMS devices from sensor architecture to mass production. This hands-on role includes mechanical modeling and design, device characterization and debugging, test development support, and cross-functional collaboration. The successful candidate is detail-oriented, experienced in MEMS design, and comfortable working across teams and geographies.

Requirements

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field; or M.S. with relevant industry experience
• 3-5 years experience designing MEMS gyroscopes, accelerometers, resonators, or similar electrostatic MEMS devices
• Strong theoretical understanding of electrostatic actuation, capacitive sensing, and multi-degree-of-freedom (multi-DOF) mechanical modeling
• Experience with finite element modeling of MEMS (e.g., ANSYS)
• Experience laying out MEMS devices using L-Edit or similar layout tools
• Hands-on experience characterizing and debugging MEMS sensors with spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and related equipment
• Proven problem-solving skills and the ability to drive projects to completion
• Strong interpersonal, teamwork, and written/verbal communication skills
• Willingness to learn and collaborate across disciplines

Nice To Haves

• 3–5 years of MEMS motion sensor industry experience (if not already covered by minimum experience)
• Proficiency in data analysis with Python or equivalent scripting languages
• Familiarity with electronics and integrated circuits
• Experience with MEMS fabrication processes and wafer-level/package-level considerations
• Experience with package modeling for MEMS sensors

Responsibilities

• Develop next-generation device architectures and specifications using FEA and other design tools (e.g., ANSYS)
• Perform bench-level testing and debugging of MEMS devices using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and related instrumentation
• Support test-program development by collaborating with test engineers and providing theoretical foundations for routines
• Perform system-level modeling and simulation of MEMS and CMOS using MATLAB or equivalent tools
• Prepare invention disclosures and contribute to patent filings
• Support customer requests and technical reviews
• Collaborate with cross-functional and international teams to drive designs to production
• Perform other duties as assigned
