Job description

We are LSP - Light Sensors & Photonics, one of three business units within ams OSRAM, advancing the digitalization of light. At LSP, we go beyond traditional sensing- combining light, silicon, and system expertise to enable digital photonics solutions. Our focus is clear: powering next-generation applications in data centers, AR/VR, mobile and automotive, where light becomes a critical interface for data, perception, and interaction. This evolution marks a shift from components to integrated photonics systems -driving performance, scalability, and innovation in high-growth segments.

• Develop models for MOSFETs, HV MOSFETs, bipolar devices and diodes.
• Create Verilog-A models for electro-optical devices.
• Advance modelling methodologies by implementing optimisation methods for physics-based models, including AI tools.
• Apply Design for X (DFX) principles for manufacturability, yield and variability.
• Develop SPICE and statistical models for active and passive devices.
• Independently define tasks, priorities and approaches, and manage work packages with a high degree of autonomy.
• Prepare design documents.

• A master's degree or PhD in physics or electrical engineering.
• Solid professional experience in semiconductor/device physics, with a strong focus on compact modelling and simulation tools.
• Basic knowledge of semiconductor device physics and processing.
• Foundational knowledge of IC design, CAD tools and SPICE parameter extraction software.
• Extensive knowledge of processes, SPICE modelling and design to coordinate the preparation of design documents.
• In-depth understanding of test structure development and measurement techniques for DC, RF and optoelectronics.
• Knowledge of AI methods used in compact modelling.
• Proficient use of Verilog-A for modelling.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, stakeholder management, communication and self-management skills.
