Job summary

Silicon Desert Staffing seeks a senior front-end process engineer to develop FEOL steps for CMOS, BCDMOS, and power devices. You will design process flows, run TCAD simulations, and build/ analyze experiments to meet manufacturability and performance targets.

You’ll support early test‑chip builds, debug issues, define layout rules, and plan mask sets. A graduate degree and 5+ years in the field are required; a hands‑on, cross‑functional role awaits.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Graduate degree (MS or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of all FEOL process modules (silicon, epitaxy, diffusion, etch, lithography, thin films).
• Experience in process integration for CMOS, BCDMOS, or discrete power devices.
• Solid foundation in semiconductor device physics.
• Ability to design process flows to meet manufacturability and electrical performance targets.
• Experience correlating electrical test results with process and cross‑sectional data.
• Familiarity with failure analysis methodologies and interpretation of FA results.
• Understanding of power‑device packaging, assembly, and reliability considerations.
• Experience with backend processes (e.g., BGBM, STM).
• Proficiency in DoE methodologies and data analysis tools (e.g., JMP, Spotfire).
• Experience with TCAD simulations and layout interpretation.
• Strong cross‑functional communication skills and ability to drive technical solutions.

Responsibilities

• Develop and improve front-end semiconductor process steps used to build advanced CMOS, BCD, and power devices.
• Design FEOL process flows and run TCAD simulations.
• Build and analyze experiments to optimize manufacturability, electrical performance, and reliability.
• Work with cross‑functional teams to optimize modules for manufacturability and reliability.
• Support early test‑chip builds, debug issues, define layout rules, and help plan mask sets.
• Hands‑on, technical process‑integration role from concept through early silicon.
