Principal TCAD Device Engineer

As a Principal TCAD Device Engineer, you will drive process and device modeling for advanced memory technologies. You will use innovative TCAD and AI tools to build devices, guide experiments, and fix complex device and circuit issues. This role partners closely with process integration, characterization, and design teams to accelerate learning and improve technology outcomes.

• Perform process and device simulations using advanced TCAD tools.
• Design virtual DOEs to guide process experiments and device optimization.
• Use AI and Python-based automation to enhance TCAD workflows.
• Analyze device and circuit issues during technology development.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to connect modeling with silicon results.

• PhD in Electrical Engineering or Physics with 4 years of semiconductor industry experience, or MS with 6 years, or BS with 8 years.
• Strong background in MOSFET device physics and semiconductor process integration.
• Hands‑on experience with TCAD process and device simulation tools.
• Knowledge of CMOS or memory process flows and sub‑10nm device physics.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work across disciplines.

• Experience with DRAM, emerging memory, or 3D NAND technologies.
• Familiarity with advanced CMOS architectures such as FinFET, nanosheet, or HKMG.
• Experience with thermal or stress modeling using FEM tools.
• Knowledge of electrical device characterization and test structure design.
• Experience using AI tools and Python scripting to automate simulations.

• Medical, dental, and vision plans in all locations enabling team members to select the plans that best meet their family healthcare needs and budget.
• Benefit programs that help protect income if unable to work due to illness or injury, and paid family leave.
• Robust paid time‑off program and paid holidays.
