New College Grad - Pathfinding Device Integration Engineer
Role Summary
As a Pathfinding Device Integration Engineer in advanced R&D, you will define and evaluate next-generation semiconductor device concepts, integrating device physics, materials, and process flows into manufacturable solutions. The role collaborates closely with device engineering, materials development, process integration, modeling, characterization, reliability, and design teams.
Experience Level
Entry-level — new college graduate (MS or PhD level candidates). No specific years of professional experience required.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include pathfinding, integration ownership, experimental execution, and data-driven analysis to guide technology decisions.
- Identify and evaluate novel device concepts and material systems to enable scaling, performance, power, and reliability improvements.
- Serve as an integration owner, aligning device concepts, materials, and process flows into cohesive technology solutions.
- Design and run experiments in the R&D fab and manage experimental plans.
- Analyze inline, parametric, probe, and characterization data to assess operating and failure mechanisms, variability, and noise sources.
- Perform data-driven analysis across simulation results, material characterization, and silicon data to guide design trade-offs.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with process development, modeling, characterization, reliability, design, and architecture teams.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and competencies:
- Strong foundation in semiconductor device physics and process integration.
- Demonstrated record of innovation (patents, publications, or product-relevant solutions).
- Strong analytical and quantitative problem-solving abilities.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with advanced semiconductor nodes or non-conventional device architectures.
- Understanding of semiconductor design and architecture.
- Experience with materials and device characterization.
- Familiarity with TCAD, physics-based modeling, and statistical analysis.
- Experience in R&D or technology pathfinding environments.
Education Requirements
MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or a related technical field.
