What you will do

Imec is the world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies. By leveraging our world-class infrastructure and local and global ecosystem of partners across a multitude of industries, we create groundbreaking innovation in application domains such as healthcare, smart cities and mobility, logistics and manufacturing, energy, and education. In the Compute Device Technology group, we focus on researching and developing the next generation of compute and quantum chips, with a brand new focus on advanced BEOL/MOL (Back-End-of-Line / Middle-of-Line) technologies.

Our team is responsible for delivering critical electrical test data that fuels device innovation. These activities require precise measurements, organized lab operations, and high quality data reporting. In this context, we are looking for a hands‑on and meticulous Electrical Engineer to strengthen our team.

You will be a key contributor to our operations, with a focus on supporting our senior engineers. Your responsibilities will include:

• Taking ownership of advanced BEOL/MOL electrical test topic within the device team.
• Actively contributing to the ramp-up of a new 300mm cryostat, assisting in its setup and commissioning to enable device measurements at ultra‑low temperatures.
• Helping to prepare documentation for new maskset and providing basic electrical reports (Current-Voltage characteristics, Capacitance).
• Performing hands‑on tasks such as dicing wafers, preparing physical sample requests, and managing sample logistics.
• Assisting senior test engineers in their operational tasks, enabling them to focus on complex analysis and development.
• Conducting manual electrical measurements on coupon wafers using our state‑of‑the‑art prober stations.
• Maintaining and improving the standardization of our measurement routines to ensure data consistency and quality.
• You have a Bachelor or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, or equivalent technical field. Relevant professional experience is also highly valued.
• Your English is greatly operational.
• You have good hands‑on experience with semiconductor device test, or/and measurement testers (e.g., probe stations, source‑meter units).
• You are very autonomous, self‑driven person, organized, detail-oriented, and meticulous in your work, especially when handling documentation and standardized procedures.
• Experience with or a strong interest in device characterization at cryogenic temperatures is a plus, as you will be involved in this activity.
• You are eager to learn new technologies, new techniques, and new skills in a world‑class research environment.
• You are a true team player, very motivated to support your colleagues and contribute to achieving common goals in a high‑paced development context.
• Basic programming knowledge in a scripting language (e.g., Python, JMP) for data handling is an important plus.
