Design Engineer

Role Overview

As a Design Engineer within the SBR Business Unit, you will drive the development and maintenance of new technologies and products. You will lead cross-functional teams through the entire product lifecycle—from business analysis and validation to characterization and production release—ensuring high-quality results are delivered in a timely manner.

Key Responsibilities

1. Technology & Product Leadership

• Lead and drive new technology/product development from concept to mass production.

• Collaborate with Marketing, PIE, PE, FAE, and FAB teams to ensure alignment with business goals.

• Develop and maintain strategic process technology roadmaps for rectifiers and advanced power components.

• Proactively research advanced technologies and address patent-related opportunities.

2. Design, Simulation & Layout

• Define new product specifications and perform competitive benchmarking.

• Evaluate theoretical concepts and device structures through TCAD simulation.

• Execute mask layout design, including test structures and Design of Experiments (DOE), to verify device performance and models.

• Manage the full mask tape-out process, including layout review and release.

3. Process Optimization & Quality Control

• Create and maintain DFMEA, mask layouts, and core process documentation.

• Optimize existing processes to enhance manufacturability, yield, and overall product performance.

• Coordinate mask/process changes and conduct risk analysis to safeguard product quality.

• Partner with PE teams to resolve yield and quality issues through Failure Analysis (FA).

4. Project Management & Stakeholder Interface

• Act as the principal interface between Fabs, Marketing, and Engineering teams to ensure seamless process implementation.

• Lead regular meetings with foundries to manage project schedules, resolve technical bottlenecks, and track execution.

• Provide technical support for New Product Announcements (NPA) and present data-driven insights to management.

Qualifications

• Technical Expertise: In-depth knowledge of semiconductor device physics, layout design, process development, and reliability characterization.

• Domain Knowledge: Solid understanding of process technologies required for rectifiers and related power devices.

• Software Skills: Proficient in mask layout tools and TCAD for process/structure/device simulation.

• Project Management: Proven ability to lead complex projects and drive systematic troubleshooting within a team environment.

• Soft Skills: Self-motivated, proactive problem solver with strong verbal and written communication skills.
