Description
The Process Engineer will use their knowledge of device physics to develop advanced processes to their fullest extent, working in close collaboration with silicon and color foundries, image characterization, modeling, and pixel design.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and optimize semiconductor process modules for advanced CIS platforms
- Work closely with silicon, color, and packaging foundries to define and refine process flows
- Design and manage silicon split lots aligned with project objectives and schedules
- Analyze and interpret wafer-level and bench-level data to extract device and process insights
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve overall image sensor performance and manufacturability
- Utilize device and process simulation tools to explore physical mechanisms and guide development
Qualifications:
- 2+ years of experience in silicon-based device technology (e.g., CMOS, CIS), including advanced process development; CIS-specific experience is a plus but not required
- Solid understanding of semiconductor device physics (e.g., photodiodes, MOS devices, junction behavior)
- Ph.D. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Materials Science
- Hands-on experience with process or device simulation tools (e.g., TCAD) is a plus
- Prior experience in CMOS or CIS development is a plus
- Experience in the development, support, or application of process/device simulation tools is a plus
Annual base salary for this role in California, US is expected to be between $120,600 - $155,000. Actual pay will be determined on a number of factors such as relevant skills and experience, and the pay of employees in the similar role.
