Principal Engineer Device Modeling & Characterization

Job Title

Principal Engineer Device Modeling & Characterization

Role Summary

Join the Ultra-Low-Power CMOS modeling team in Bengaluru to develop compact (SPICE) device models and support characterization activities used in Process Design Kits (PDKs) for digital, analog and RF applications.

The role focuses on device characterization, compact-model development, model validation/correlation and supporting PDK-ready model deliverables.

Experience Level

Senior (Principal-level). No explicit years-of-experience stated.

Responsibilities

Accountable for device characterization, compact-model development and verification for advanced CMOS technologies.

• Design MOSFET characterization test structures for compact-model extraction.
• Develop compact models for FDSOI, FinFET and Bulk MOS technologies.
• Build statistical (Monte Carlo) and fixed-corner models.
• Perform model-to-hardware correlation and produce correlation reports.
• Run circuit and model simulations using HSPICE and Spectre.
• Support safe work practices and comply with Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements.

Requirements

Key technical skills and attributes. Degree requirements are listed separately below.

• Must-have: Strong device physics knowledge, especially MOSFET behavior and compact-modeling fundamentals.
• Must-have: Experience with HSPICE and Spectre simulation environments and model validation.
• Experience producing model-to-hardware correlation and statistical model workflows.
• Effective communication, collaboration and self-directed work habits.
• Nice-to-have: Knowledge of FDSOI and FinFET technologies, test-structure design for model extraction, process development, measurement/characterization experience.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with BSIM model families, Python scripting, ICCAP, and RF/high-frequency MOSFET characterization and modeling.

Education Requirements

PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a closely related field is listed as a required qualification. The posting also references a Master’s in Electrical Engineering or related field as suitable in other sections. Fields mentioned include electrical/electronics engineering and semiconductor/device physics.
