Nice To Haves

Proficiency in electrical test tools, scripting of measurements, and data processing
In-depth knowledge of standard electrical test methods and procedures to measure fundamental properties of semiconductor devices
In-depth knowledge of device physics (e.g., emerging non-volatile memory technologies)
Proven experience working on device integration and product development (e.g. test vehicle development experience is preferred)
Proven hands-on lab experience with design of e-test experiments, scripting and troubleshooting
Self-motivated, excellent written and oral communication skills
Experience in customer interactions

Responsibilities

Define and build e-test protocols tailored to specific technologies under evaluation, leveraging your device characterization expertise to ensure solutions precisely meet customer specifications.
Drive physical understanding of device behavior — interpreting e-test results to uncover root causes and guide the optimization of device stacks and architectures.
Lead cross-functional collaboration with process, integration, materials, and hardware engineers to improve yield, enhance process uniformity, and resolve critical integration challenges.
Architect and maintain data pipelines and databases, providing clear visibility into device and integration run sheets to keep programs on track.
Be a technical anchor for the team — executing critical activities with precision and urgency, sharing knowledge across disciplines, and fostering a culture of curiosity and continuous improvement.
