We offer you

Main Responsibilities

As an already experienced technologist joining our technology development team, you will be personally involved in initial technology conception, and resulting technology specifications, underlying design rules and in particular also process architecture and definition of mask generation equations. Ultimately you will become owner of technology related design- and generation-rules.
As active actor of new technology developments, your main role will be to define or adapt smart test structures to assess process response and device characteristics. You will analyze and interpret characterization results of devices and test structures from which you will derive tunings and improvements. Ideally you already have hands-on experience in characterization and even generating and adapting basic test programs.
As partner of process engineering, you will be able to provide guidance-inputs to process engineers in their process optimization tasks.
