Full Job Description
In this role, you will play a critical part in defining and validating future DRAM device and cell technologies. As a Device Engineer, you will characterize memory arrays, analyze electrical behavior and failures, and influence process and material decisions that directly impact yield, quality, and performance. Your work will shape the electrical foundation of next-generation DRAM products.

Responsibilities:
  • Define and drive electrical specifications for DRAM, Advanced DRAM and emerging memory technologies, translating product requirements into device-level targets for performance, reliability and scaling
  • Design, implement, and interpret experiments to optimize cell and access device performance. This includes running materials experiment, developing new integration schemes and defining new characterization methodologies
  • Develop physical and electrical models (TCAD and compact modeling) to identify performance, yield and reliability limiters, using advanced materials characterization, device physics insight, and statistical data analysis
  • Create and or improve stress methodologies to evaluate device reliability (e.g., TDDB, leakage, variability, endurance) and establish robust design margins.
  • Analyze array-level behavior using probe, parametric, and backend data to root-cause variability, optimize distributions, and improve yield, quality, and cost
  • Collaborate with process integration, design, and product engineering teams to translate device insights into technology and product improvements, enabling best-in-class memory solutions


Minimum Qualifications:
  • MS with 5+ years of industry experience or PhD with hands-on research in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Material Science and Engineering or related field
  • Strong expertise in semiconductor device physics including CMOS, diodes, and related devices
