Staff IC Foundry Engineer
Work on integrated circuits at the heart of modern power systems.
About the role
As a Staff IC Foundry Engineer, you will develop integrated circuits at the heart of modern power systems, focusing on power systems.
What you'll do
- Investigate, analyze, and resolve silicon yield, reliability, and process-related issues across IC product lines.
- Serve as the primary technical interface with semiconductor foundries, driving issue resolution and managing technical communications.
- Develop a deep understanding of foundry process technologies, with emphasis on BCD processes and associated device characteristics.
- Design, execute, and analyze Design of Experiments to identify root causes, optimize process windows, and improve yield and product performance.
- Perform statistical analysis of wafer fabrication, parametric, electrical test, and yield data.
- Collaborate closely with design, product, test, reliability, and foundry engineering teams to drive process and product optimization.
What you'll need
- Master's degree in electrical engineering, Power Electronics, Materials Science, Physics Engineering, or related technical discipline.
- Strong knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes and IC fabrication technologies.
- Experience with BCD process technologies, including understanding of device structures, process integration, and yield mechanisms.
- Proven experience investigating yield excursions and performing root-cause analysis.
- Hands-on experience designing and analyzing DOE experiments.
- Strong proficiency in statistical data analysis and data mining tools.
Skills: silicon yield, foundry process technologies, BCD processes, Design of Experiments, root-cause analysis, process optimization
