Cryogenic CMOS & Quantum Device Modeling Engineer

GlobalFoundries inc.; Oregon; Hybrid; USD 98,000 - 176,000; Full time

Job summary

GlobalFoundries seeks a Device Modeling Engineer with a core background in semiconductor device physics to develop, extract, validate, and deploy predictive models from room temperature to cryogenic temperatures. This role will translate measured behavior into simulation-ready compact models for transistors, superconducting, and photonic elements, enabling cryoCMOS PDKs and advanced quantum designs.

The candidate will plan parameter extraction, validate models with test data, and integrate

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Physics, Applied Physics, or a related field.
• Minimum 5 years of experience applying semiconductor device physics to device modeling, transistor compact-model development, parameter extraction, device characterization, or closely related work.
• Strong background in semiconductor device physics and understanding of transistor compact modeling and MOSFET electrical behavior.

Responsibilities

• Develop and calibrate physics-based compact models for CMOS and related transistor technologies across room-temperature and cryogenic regimes.
• Develop, calibrate, and validate models for superconducting and photonic elements using measured data and appropriate modeling frameworks.
• Plan parameter-extraction and model-validation workflows using electrical characterization data.
• Correlate model behavior with data and device physics; identify limitations and drive corrective actions.
• Define device and test-structure requirements to extract, validate, and improve models for cryogenic design.
• Integrate model files within PDK and EDA environments, including regression testing and release readiness.
• Analyze temperature-dependent device behavior, variability, and reliability; provide engineering guidance.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to establish model requirements and delivery priorities.
• Communicate model assumptions and validation results through technical reports and reviews.
