🛠 Tech Stack
💼 About This Role
You'll design, fabricate, and characterize advanced semiconductor devices in a hands-on cleanroom environment, collaborating closely with teammates to optimize materials integration for high-power and RF applications. Your work directly supports Diamond Foundry's mission to cool the world's hottest chips with diamond wafers.
🎯 What You'll Do
- Design semiconductor materials and device structures for fabrication feasibility.
- Collaborate on cleanroom fabrication of devices and test structures.
- Drive design-fabrication-characterization iteration cycles based on experimental results.
- Execute electrical characterization to understand carrier dynamics.
- Analyze device measurement data to identify performance-limiting mechanisms.
📋 Requirements
- MSc or PhD in Materials Science, Physics, or Electrical Engineering with 4+ years experience.
- Hands-on semiconductor microfabrication including layout (L-Edit, KLayout) and cleanroom ownership.
- Deep understanding of semiconductor device physics including transport and reliability.
- Strong expertise in device characterization and experimental data analysis.
✨ Nice to Have
- Experience with device modeling or simulation (TCAD, COMSOL, ANSYS).
- Proactive, self-directed approach in a collaborative team environment.
🚩 Heads Up
- Mentions 4+ years but title is 'Principal' which typically requires 10+ years.
