Position Summary

SAS is seeking a highly driven candidate to join the Device Integration team. As a Device Integration Engineer, one will be responsible for optimization of transistor performance and targeting to maximize product yield, reliability, and manufacturability on mass production as well as new and developing 14nm derivative generation. The ideal candidate would have Device physics interaction understanding across all modules - Fin/PC, SD, RMG/MOL, BEOL - in order to work closely with Module Integration and Process Architecture teams to develop ideal transistor performance and targeting conditions on current and next generation technologies. The role will also require detailed SRAM understanding at both design and verification stages.

Role and Responsibilities

Here’s What You’ll Be Responsible For:

• Ensure targeting of transistor focused Electrical Test (ET) trends to Customer/Product Specifications and perform timely root cause study to shifts or abnormalities.
• Analyze process interactions (inline metrology, FDC, etc.) to ET while also understanding ET data effects on Parametric Yield.
• Owns Parametric Yield and Wafer Acceptance Electrical Test (WAT) management for one or more Customer Accounts/Products.
• Execute and analyze experiments to optimize transistor performance/variation with end goal of improving Parametric Yield and ensuring a reliable and manufacturable product.
• Drive Task Force Teams to solve systematic yield, performance, or reliability issues.
• Support unit process (ex: CMP, Etch, etc) or process integration team with evaluation of device impact for key change points (ex: cost/step reduction, throughput improvement, etc.).
• Conduct SRAM performance analysis, measuring speed, power, noise margin, and leakage across process corners and temperature ranges.

Skills and Qualifications

Here’s What You’ll Need:

• Bachelors of Science or Engineering (Electrical, Computer, Chemical, Material Science, or related areas) required. Masters or PhD is a plus.
• 8+ years of semiconductor industry experience is required; 10+ years of experience is highly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience with technology, process & qualification development milestones in order to meet customer and industry specifications.
• Understanding of the interactions between process and Electrical test. Knowledge of process flow.
• Familiarity with unit processes including thin films deposition, etch, diffusion, wet process, CMP, Photolithography, etc.
• Analysis skills, including electrical device characterization, yield analysis, data mining, DOE, and SPC. JMP or Spotfire.
• SRAM design verification using simulation tools to ensure compliance with functional specifications and foundry design rules.
• SPICE modeling/simulation and MHC experience.

The current base salary range for this role is between $131,000 - $174,500. Individual base pay rates will depend on factors including duties, work location, education, skills, qualifications and experience. Total compensation for this position will include a competitive benefits package and may include participation in company incentive compensation programs, which are based on factors to include organizational and individual performance.

This position may include access to controlled information or technology under U.S. export control laws. Employment may be contingent on either the applicant verifying that the applicant falls under the "U.S. Person" definition (including U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents, and those granted U.S. asylum or refugee status) or the employer timely obtaining any necessary export license under federal law. The employer evaluates export licensing on a case-by-case basis and may decline to proceed with a job applicant in its sole discretion, as export license applications can take many weeks to process.

Total Rewards

At Samsung Austin Semiconductor, base pay is just one part of our total compensation package. The base compensation for this role will depend on education, experience, skills, and location.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance and 401(k) matching with immediate vesting
• Onsite café(s) and workout facilities
• Paid maternity and paternity leave
• Paid time off (PTO) + 2 personal holidays and 10 regular holidays
• Wellness incentives and MORE

Eligible full-time employees (salaried or hourly) may also receive MBO bonuses based on company, division, and individual performance.
