Senior Engineer I-Design (MEMS) - United States
$70,304 - $205,000 USD yearly
Originally posted 10 September 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves contributing to the design, development, testing, qualification, and production support of MEMS timing technology for various applications. You will help develop and sustain high-performance timing devices from early-stage technology development through production and customer delivery.
What you'll do
- Design, characterize, and analyze MEMS resonators and related technologies.
- Perform simulations, laboratory evaluations, debugging, characterization, and root-cause analysis of new and existing devices.
- Participate in the full product development lifecycle, from concept and design through qualification, release, and production support.
- Develop, refine, and maintain test software and automation used for laboratory characterization and production testing.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including MEMS, ASIC design, process engineering, assembly, test, quality, and product engineering, to bring new technologies and products to market.
- Communicate technical findings, project status, risks, and opportunities to project and engineering leadership.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's and Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical field.
- 5 years of relevant engineering experience.
- Understanding of MEMS design and underlying fundamentals.
- Experience with Python programming for data analysis, automation, or engineering applications.
Nice to have
- Ph.D. in a relevant engineering or technical discipline.
- Direct experience designing, modeling, fabricating, and/or characterizing MEMS resonators.
- Experience with relevant simulation and analysis tools, such as COMSOL, MATLAB, and Cadence.
- Experience using Python and LabVIEW for laboratory characterization, test automation, or production device evaluation.
- Experience analyzing large-scale device test data and developing statistical, machine-learning, or classification models.
- Familiarity with semiconductor manufacturing, wafer-level processing, assembly, production testing, or product qualification.
