Device Engineer

At Nexperia Manchester, we are looking for a Device Engineer to join our Technology Development organisation and help develop the next generation of power semiconductor technologies. If you have a strong foundation in semiconductor device physics, experience with TCAD simulation and an interest in turning modelling and experimental data into better device performance, we want to hear from  return, we offer the opportunity to work on advanced semiconductor technologies used in billions of electronic devices worldwide, collaborate with experienced engineers and scientists across multiple disciplines, and build your technical career through structured learning, mentoring and involvement in innovative development projects.

Please note, this Device Engineer role is primarily site based in Manchester. Limited travel may be required for project, supplier or collaboration activities. We are not looking to offer visa sponsorship for this position.

What you will doAs a Device Engineer, you will support the development and optimisation of advanced semiconductor device technologies from early concept through to silicon evaluation and technology qualification. Using simulation, electrical characterisation and reliability data, you will help improve device performance, robustness, manufacturability and reliability while working closely with colleagues in TCAD, process integration, process development, product engineering and reliability.

Duties will include:

Performing TCAD simulations to evaluate device concepts and design optimisations

Investigating electrical performance and physical device behaviour

Supporting technology development projects from concept through silicon evaluation

Analysing electrical characterisation and reliability data Correlating modelling and simulation results with silicon measurements

Supporting experimental planning, technical investigations and root cause analysis

Collaborating with cross-functional teams to solve technical challenges

Preparing technical reports and presenting findings in project reviews

Improving modelling methods, engineering workflows and technical documentation

What you will need
