Product Development Engineer (28nm CMOS)

Confidential – Leading Semiconductor Manufacturer

Why This Role

This is a rare opportunity to work at the core of 28nm CMOS technology development, where device physics meets real-world production. You’ll take ownership of process integration, drive yield improvements, and help transition advanced nodes into high-volume manufacturing.

If you enjoy solving complex problems at the transistor and process level—and want your work to directly impact production—this role delivers.

What You’ll Do

Process Integration & Device Optimization

• Develop and refine 28nm CMOS process flows across FEOL/BEOL
• Optimize transistor performance, variability, and reliability
• Work closely with device, design, and fab teams to align performance targets

Yield & Performance Engineering

• Analyze electrical test data, inline metrics, and defectivity trends
• Drive yield improvement through root cause analysis and corrective actions
• Correlate parametric data to process variations and device behavior

Technology Transfer & Manufacturing Ramp

• Support transition from development to high-volume manufacturing (HVM)
• Define process windows, control plans, and production specs
• Partner with manufacturing teams to ensure stable, repeatable output

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Interface with design, modeling, and reliability teams
• Contribute to DTCO/STCO efforts for performance and scaling
• Support failure analysis and long-term reliability improvements

What You Bring

• BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related field
• ~5–12 years of experience in semiconductor process development or integration
• Strong background in:
• CMOS technology (≤28nm preferred)
• Process integration (FEOL, HKMG, silicidation, or BEOL)
• Device physics and electrical characterization
• Experience with:
• Yield analysis, DOE, SPC, and failure analysis
• TCAD or electrical simulation tools (a plus)
• Ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced fab environment

What Makes This Role Different

• End-to-end ownership — from process development to production ramp
• High visibility — direct impact on yield, performance, and business outcomes
• Advanced node exposure — meaningful work at 28nm and beyond
• Technical depth — real device-level problem solving, not just incremental optimization

Ideal Backgrounds

• Process Integration Engineer (CMOS / Logic)
• Device Engineer with strong fab interaction
• Yield / Product Engineer with deep process understanding
• Engineers from leading IDMs or foundries working on sub-40nm nodes
