R&D Semiconductor Integration Engineer - Sherman, TX, United States
Originally posted 19 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role is responsible for integrating individual process steps into robust fabrication flows for III-V semiconductor devices, working with Device Design and Process Engineering to scale products to high-volume manufacturing.
What you'll do
- Define new unit process requirements and targets, and design and integrate wafer fab process flows. - Partner with Design, Process Engineering, Layout, Program Management, and Test to hit manufacturing yield targets. - Define and create test structures and layouts to fabricate and characterize new device technologies and demonstrate volume manufacturing margins. - Perform DC, small signal RF, and optical testing and characterization of devices, set up test plans, and analyze data. - Characterize wafer fab design rules relative to device performance and establish design rules for process margin and product yield. - Work with manufacturing to specify and verify critical in-line and PCM process control metrics, and create documentation required to transfer process technology to manufacturing.
What you'll need
- Minimum M.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field with 5 years of relevant experience, or Ph.D. with 2 years of relevant experience. - Deep knowledge and understanding of III-V semiconductor devices and materials, including physics, TCAD simulation, fab process, testing, and modeling. - Previous experience as a process or integration engineer in III-V electronics or opto-electronics. - Familiarity with DC, small signal RF, and optical testing and metrology of test structures. - Experience with New Product Introduction (NPI) and/or Product Lifecycle Management processes.
