Foundry Device Engineer, SiC

Job DetailsJob Location: PuneKey Responsibilities and Duties

Device Design & Simulation

Design and layout SiC and GaN power devices for new product introductions, in collaboration with external foundry partners.
Run TCAD and compact-model simulations to predict device performance across process, voltage, and temperature corners.
Define device targets, design margins, and layout rules that hold up against process variability in volume production.
Translate simulation and silicon results into design revisions, and drive those changes through foundry tape-out cycles.

Process Control & Yield Improvement

Monitor product and process performance throughout the manufacturing lifecycle using statistical and electrical data.
Support yield optimization initiatives through DOE, process characterization, and root-cause investigations, and assist with corrective action.
Help define and implement process control plans, SPC monitoring, Cpk/Ppk tracking, and manufacturing health indicators.
Identify and resolve yield, reliability, and device performance issues in collaboration with foundry and cross-functional teams.

Device Engineering & Reliability

Analyze electrical, process, reliability, and parametric data to improve product performance, manufacturability, and process robustness.
Support qualification, reliability assessments, and failure-analysis investigations for SiC and GaN technologies.
Partner with Product Engineering and Test Engineering on screening strategies, guard bands, yield limits, and excursion management.
Evaluate foundry PCNs, process improvements, and technology changes to determine product impact and qualification requirements.

Foundry Engagement

Engage with external foundry partners to build a working understanding of their process technology, capabilities, and constraints.
Participate in regular technical reviews with foundries covering process health, yield trends, and reliability performance.

QualificationsRequired Qualifications

B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Semiconductor Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related technical field.
2–5 years of semiconductor device, process, product, or foundry engineering experience.
Hands-on experience with IC layout tools such as Cadence Virtuoso.
Experience with TCAD simulation, device characterization, and power device modeling.
Strong understanding of power semiconductor device physics and manufacturing processes.
Experience analyzing electrical, parametric, process, yield, and reliability data to make data-driven decisions.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across global, cross-functional organizations.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with SiC and/or GaN technologies.
Direct experience working with wafer foundries or external manufacturing partners.
