Senior IC Foundry Engineer

Job Title

Senior IC Foundry Engineer

Role Summary

Join the IC Product Engineering team in Israel to drive yield and performance improvements for advanced-node ICs. The role combines parametric data analysis, cross-functional collaboration (build, backend, layout, analog, operations, test, reliability, characterization), and direct engagement with foundry engineering teams.

Primary objective: identify and contain process excursions, optimize product integration, and deliver robust manufacturing performance.

Experience Level

Senior - typically requires 5+ years of experience in process, integration, device engineering, or semiconductor manufacturing.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include leading technical efforts with foundries and implementing data-driven process controls.

• Drive yield and performance improvements across advanced process nodes.
• Serve as NVIDIA's technical interface to foundry partners; lead technical communication and drive issues to full containment.
• Collaborate across multiple domains (layout, analog, test, reliability, operations) in a matrix environment for product optimization.
• Analyze IC parametric measurements and large datasets to identify yield limiters and process excursions.
• Develop data pipelines and automated monitoring/alerting frameworks to detect process drift.
• Present technical findings and recommended mitigations to engineering and operations stakeholders.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, experience, and behaviors.

• 5+ years of proven experience in process, integration, device engineering, or semiconductor manufacturing.
• Strong knowledge of FAB processes, integration flows, device behavior, and quality metrics.
• Outstanding problem-solving skills and experience with data analysis and correlation methodologies.
• Experience working with large datasets and developing data pipelines for engineering use cases.
• Proficiency with scripting/programming (Python or similar) for data analysis and workflow automation.
• Strong communication and presentation skills; ability to lead technical discussions with internal teams and external partners.
• Ability to multitask, prioritize under pressure, and take high ownership and accountability.

Nice-to-have:

• Hands-on experience with FAB support systems (inspection tools, OSAT) or silicon technology operations.
• Experience with data analysis tools (e.g., JMP) and visualization tools (e.g., Tableau or custom Python dashboards).
• Experience building or applying ML models for yield prediction, defect classification, or process control.
• Familiarity with semiconductor data platforms and data ecosystems.

Education Requirements

B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Materials, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
