Senior Power Semiconductor Design Engineer

Overview

In this role you will lead design and development of power semiconductor devices (silicon and SiC) for overvoltage and overcurrent protection. You will drive tool-enabled design, modelling, layout, and validation while supporting manufacturing and new product introductions. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to define products, ensure quality, and deliver robust specifications. The role blends hands-on device work with process improvement and qualification, offering meaningful impact at the technology edge and in production transfer.

Responsibilities

• Design and layout semiconductor devices for internal and external wafer fabrication
• Collaborate with product management, sales, and applications teams to define and develop new products
• Apply semiconductor physics, wafer fabrication knowledge, DOE, SPC, DFM, FMEA, and Six Sigma methodologies to optimize designs and processes
• Perform device modelling, simulation, characterization, testing, reliability assessment, and failure analysis
• Prepare engineering documentation, product specifications, and datasheets to support product release and compliance with IATF16949 standards
• Support transfer of products from development into production

Key requirements

• Significant semiconductor product development experience
• Proven experience designing power semiconductor devices in silicon or SiC
• Strong understanding of semiconductor physics
• Knowledge of wafer fabrication processes
• Experience with DOE
• Experience with SPC
• Failure analysis and reliability testing
• Electrical characterization techniques
• Experience with semiconductor CAD/design tools such as Silvaco
• Degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field
