Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Device and Process Integration Engineer

The Advanced Materials and Microsystems Group (G81) aims to leverage physical properties at the small scale to develop enabling novel materials, custom microelectronics, and multifunctional microsystems. Our activities range from developing new approaches to materials discovery, pioneering work on specialized microelectronic process technologies, embedding electronic devices in fibers and fabrics, and creating new materials and new processes for additive manufacturing. Our system application space is equally broad, encompassing low-cost picosatellites fabricated in a silicon foundry, additive manufacturing of radiation shields for protecting electronic systems, persistent monitoring of wide areas of ocean using arrays of sensors and hydrophones, and specialized microchips to test and validate cooling solutions for highly integrated high-performance microprocessors. Our high-impact work is enabled by the Microelectronics Laboratory, the Defense Fabric Discovery Center, and other cleanroom facilities at the Laboratory.

The group seeks an engineer/scientist to conduct research and development to advance the state-of-the-art in ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor devices from first-of-a-kind demonstrations to prototypes suitable for technology transfers for applications relating to RF electronics (communications, radar), power electronics (radio frequency, power conversion, sensors, etc.), and other related electronics components for extreme environments. In this role, this individual will serve as a (1) technical subject-matter expert, (2) lead and execute technical projects, (3) contribute to technology roadmaps to establish future generations of the Laboratory's special-purpose device technologies. Duties will require familiarity and leadership in device design, understanding of epitaxial growth processes, fabrication (process development and integration), packaging, test, evaluation and analysis.  In addition to technical skills, the candidates should excel in multidisciplinary teamwork, clear and effective communication, independent problem-solving, and meeting program goals and project schedule deadlines.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Familiarity with device and process simulation tools (e.g., Synopsys, Silvaco), finite element modelling (COMSOL), and / or compact models generation
