Device Engineer
NexperiaJob Title
Device Engineer
Role Summary
As a Device Engineer in Technology Development at Nexperia Manchester you will develop and optimise power semiconductor devices from concept to silicon evaluation and qualification. The role uses TCAD, electrical characterisation and reliability data to improve device performance, manufacturability and robustness. This position is primarily site-based in Manchester; limited travel may be required and the role does not provide visa sponsorship.
Experience Level
Mid-level. No specific years of experience stated; the role expects relevant industry or research experience with TCAD and device physics.
Responsibilities
The role supports technology development projects and cross-functional engineering activities. Key responsibilities include:
- Perform TCAD simulations to evaluate device concepts and design optimisations.
- Investigate electrical performance and physical device behaviour.
- Analyse electrical characterisation and reliability data and correlate with simulation results.
- Support experimental planning, silicon evaluation and root cause analysis.
- Collaborate with process integration, product engineering and reliability teams to solve technical challenges.
- Prepare technical reports and present findings in project reviews.
- Improve modelling methods, engineering workflows and technical documentation.
Requirements
Essential skills and experience expected for successful applicants.
- Understanding of semiconductor device physics and fabrication principles.
- Experience with TCAD simulation tools (university research or industry experience).
- Strong data analysis and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to interpret technical results and communicate findings effectively.
- Collaborative approach and proactive learning mindset.
- Nice-to-have: knowledge of power semiconductor devices (e.g. MOSFETs).
- Nice-to-have: experience using data analysis tools such as Python and exposure to electrical characterisation techniques.
- Nice-to-have: familiarity with semiconductor reliability concepts and experience in experimental planning or structured root-cause analysis.
Education Requirements
Minimum: Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Semiconductor Engineering, Materials Science or similar. Preferred: Master’s or PhD. (Degrees and advanced academic qualifications are specified; no explicit equivalent-experience language was provided.)
