Job summary

fab2 is seeking an R&D Device Engineer in Austin, TX to bridge process development, electrical test, and integration. You will define transistor architectures and drive diagnostic analysis to improve performance, scaling, power, cost, and production time.

In this hands‑on, high‑ownership role, you will extract device parameters, run tests, and contribute to models used across the team. The position emphasizes hands‑on experimentation and cross‑functional collaboration.

Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a closely related field.
• Rigorous understanding of advanced CMOS/MOSFET device physics and solid‑state electronics fundamentals.
• Experience with semiconductor device measurement (I-V/C-V) and probe station operation.
• Strong data analysis and scripting skills to accelerate testing and learning cycles.
• Ability to translate complex device physics concepts for cross‑functional partners.

Responsibilities

• Design device architectures and tailor novel transistor structures to meet device specifications.
• Execute tape‑outs and test key designs.
• Perform electrical characterization (I-V/C-V) on transistors and MOSCAPs across process splits to establish baseline device behavior.
• Dissect complex electrical and physical data to pinpoint bottlenecks and inform material and flow improvements.
• Extract core device parameters to construct foundational technology performance models.
