Technology Development Engineer, Sr Staff

This SkyWater Technology Development Sr Staff Engineer will design, develop, and support superconducting offerings in a technologist-level role.

Responsibilities:

• New device development, transfer, and integration in a manufacturing environment.
• Liaison with Design Enablement, process integration, and reliability groups on matters relating device construction, manufacturing design rules, and PDK development for superconducting technologies.
• Lead cross-functional teams to deliver device design, test chip layout, and product characterization.
• Provide process and device simulations to support new technology development.
• Serve as a subject matter expert to customers and SkyWater colleagues for technology elements, test setup, design rule constraints, and device performance targeting.

Minimum Qualifications:

• MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related field with Master's and 5+ years experience, or PhD with 3 years experience.
• Comprehensive knowledge of superconducting device and interconnect performance, optimization, and yield limiters relevant to interposer process flows.
• Expertise in cryogenic device characterization to meet process control and modeling requirements.
• Familiarity with device, process, interconnect, and IC modeling such as TCAD, COMSOL, field solvers for RC extraction, Spectre, Verilog, Cadence Virtuoso ADE, or comparable software.
• Experience in dealing with both internal and external customers. Able to articulate thought processes in both technical and business settings.
• Knowledge of DOE, SPC, and 6-sigma concepts and applications.
• US Citizenship Required: This position will require the holding of or ability to obtain government security clearance which requires U.S Citizenship.

Preferred Qualifications:
