Senior Advanced MEMS Design Engineer - Integration
About The Position
This position supports silicon-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor technologies for medical, commercial, industrial, automotive, defense, and space applications. This role combines innovative research with practical engineering applications, contributing to advancement of cutting-edge sensor technologies. As a Senior Advanced MEMS Design and Integration Engineer, you will own the development and optimization of cutting-edge semiconductor technology nodes. You will work at the intersection of device design, process technology, electrical characterization, and yield engineering, tuning fabrication conditions to meet strict electrical and reliability targets. You will report directly to our Senior Semiconduct Engineering Manager, and you’ll work out of our Richardson, TX location on a Hybrid work schedule.
Requirements
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Engineering Physics, or a related field (M.S. or Ph.D. preferred for advanced R&D).
- 7+ years of hands-on experience in semiconductor fabrication, process integration, device engineering, MEMS development, and device characterization.
- 7+ years of experience with process integration and design, especially for MEMS pressure sensors.
- 4+ years of experience in statistical analysis and data mining tools (MiniTab, SPC, JMP, Python, etc.).
- 5+ years of experience with semiconductor fabrication processes (diffusion, implant, wet, photolithography, plasma, metal deposition, parametric testing, saw).
Nice To Haves
- Deep understanding of semiconductor device physics, the interaction of various semiconductor unit processes, and device testing.
- Strong project management, interpersonal, and cross-functional leadership capabilities to align multiple engineering modules toward a common product goal.
Responsibilities
- MEMS Sensor Design and Development: Develop sensor chip design for pressure, air flow, liquid flow, magnetic, chemical, and electrochemical sensing.
- Process Flow Definition: Develop, document, and optimize integrated front-end and back-end process flows for new technology nodes.
