MEMS Development Engineer

The MEMS Development Engineer will play a key role in the development of the MEMS chip — the core component of Si-Ware's MEMS-based products. This role spans the full development lifecycle, from design and modeling through fabrication support, wafer-level testing, and failure analysis.

• Contribute to MEMS design and development activities, including system-level design and parameter/specification extraction
• Perform MEMS modeling using analytical and numerical techniques, including FEM-based simulation as needed
• Create and refine layouts using L-Edit and other layout tools
• Contribute to MEMS tapeouts.
• Develop platforms and tools for MEMS data processing and manipulation

• Perform wafer-level and die-level testing and characterization of fabricated MEMS devices.
• Carry out electrical characterization using lab instrumentation such as impedance analyzers to extract key device parameters.
• Use lab imaging and inspection tools, including optical microscopy and related metrology equipment, for physical and structural analysis of dies.
• Support the setup and operation of bench characterization stations for evaluating MEMS performance.
• Assist in failure analysis activities to help identify root causes of performance and yield issues.
• Investigate MEMS performance issues and contribute to solutions that enhance and stabilize chip performance.
• Provide up-to-date reporting on MEMS performance status.

• Serve as the technical interface with the MEMS foundry supplying the MEMS chips.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams throughout the development process.
• Communicate technical status and progress to project managers.
• Coordinate with suppliers and support procurement and purchasing activities.
• Citizenship:
  This role is open to Saudi Nationals in line with local employment regulations.
• Education:
  
  BSc or MSc in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics Engineering or a strictly related engineering degree.
• SCE Membership:
  Engineer membership in the Saudi Council of Engineers (Engineer Grade category) is mandatory for this role.

• Basic knowledge of MEMS characterization, design, and fabrication technologies is preferred.
• Programming proficiency in MATLAB/Octave, C, or Python is preferred.
• Familiarity with Excel is preferred (experience with Macros is a plus).
• Familiarity with scripting languages is preferred.
• Ability to visualize and interpret data to guide engineering decisions is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment and the ability to build bench characterization setups for measuring MEMS component performance is a plus.
• Familiarity with the L-Edit layout tool is a plus.
• Experience with physical characterization tools (e.g., SEM, AFM) is a plus.
• Familiarity with FEM simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, COMSOL) is a plus.

• Self-starter with strong quantitative analysis and problem-solving skills.
• Team-oriented with effective verbal and written communication skills.
• Creative and innovative mindset with a proactive, initiative-taking attitude.
• Ability to communicate proactively across teams and perform under pressure.
• Comfortable working in the dynamic, fast-paced environment of a growing high-tech product company.
• Excellent documentation skills.
• Very good command of English (written and spoken).
