Senior Staff Device Characterization Engineer
About The Position
Join Renesas’ Technology Development team as a Senior Engineer, contributing to power device development and semiconductor device characterization. The role oversees and maintains test equipment; performs wafer-level and packaged-part measurements; develops software to support device development and modeling; collaborates with team members to debug test chip programs; and upgrades lab hardware and software as testing requirements change. Testing includes process and device characterization, EPROM testing, device raw I-V curves, reliability testing such as HCI and HTRB, transient manual measurements such as gate charge and reverse recovery, and S-parameter measurements. Equipment and software include HP4062/4073 testers with EG2080, EG4090, and TEL Precio XL probers using custom RMB code; HP8753 and Cascade full-temperature probers with HP IC-CAP; and an Agilent B1500 with a manual probe station.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
- At least 10 years of hands-on experience in semiconductor device characterization.
- Familiarity with HP RMB or SPECS.
- Familiarity with Unix systems.
- Proficiency with electronic lab equipment, including automated probers, semiconductor parameter analyzers, and S-parameter systems.
- Experience in semiconductor layout using tools such as Cadence Virtuoso.
- Knowledge of the underlying device physics of tested devices.
Nice To Haves
