Introduction

GlobalFoundries is seeking a motivated, self-driven engineer to be part of the Ultra-Low-Power CMOS modeling team in GlobalFoundries Bangalore. This team develops, among others, compact (SPICE) models of FDSOI, FinFET and Bulk MOSFETs which are part of the Process Design Kits (PDKs) offered by GF, which are used by customers to design products (chips) for use in various Digital/Analog and RF applications.

Any suitable candidate for this position should have completed their PhD or Masters in Electrical Engineering with emphasis on semiconductor physics or Microelectronics. Strong device physics knowledge is expected, especially in MOSFETs. Knowledge of Fully Depleted SOI and FinFET will be an added advantage. Knowledge of test structures needed for compact model extraction will be valuable. Any hands experience in process development and/or measurements & characterization will be an asset. Knowledge of BSIM families of compact models is a plus. Knowledge of model extraction tools (MBP/ICCAP) will also be a plus. Knowledge of high frequency (RF) characterization and modeling of MOSFETs will be highly desirable.

Typically performs one or more of the following in capacity of either an individual contributor (as directed and/or independently), or as a manager:

• Analyze and represent semiconductor devices with industry standard models.
• Applies knowledge of semiconductor physics to evaluate and analyze test results.
• Works closely with device and other modeling engineers to interpret test results and debug device and measurement issues.
• Prepares reports summarizing results or to make technical recommendations.
• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.
• Work and collaborate other projects and/or assignments as needed.

Your Job

• Leads complex, strategic and business critical projects or initiatives for SPICE model development including Design MOSFET characterization structures for compact model extraction.
• Develop Compact models for FDSOI, FinFET and Bulk technologies.
• Develop Compact models for MRAM and RRAM.
• Develop statistical (Montecarlo, Mismatch and fixed corner) models.
• Deliver Model-to-HW correlation reports, K, CpK Analysis.
• Coaches and mentors team members; influences others as a technical leader.
• Participates in and leads cross-functional teams across sites.
• Limited and supervised contact at engineering and logistical level.
• Chairs conference committees.
• Provides guidance for external programs.
• Initiates projects with suppliers in a very complex environment.
• Serves as consortia project liaison.
• Normally will report to a higher level executive, but may report to a peer level management executive.

Other Responsibilities

Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.

Required Qualifications

• PhD in Electrical or Electronics Engineering 8+ or more years of experience
• Master’s in Electrical or Electronics Engineering + 12 or more years of experience
