Senior Staff Device Engineer

【Background】

This team support SPS FET design for PCP. In the last year, two out of the four device engineers who no longer with the company. We are aslo supporting the new MV FET REXFET2 and REXFET3. The SPS FETs are critical for PCP and we enetering a period of incredible growth for SPS FETs where we are looking at volume sales increasing by 3x in the next 2 years.

【Job Description】

We are seeking a Sr. Staff Design Engineer to develop cutting edge switching power MOSFETs for 12V to 80V applications. You will participate in the full product cycle from conception of architecture through final product characterization. This will involve the conception and development of novel power MOSFET device structures, optimizing those structures for performance and ruggedness, and developing test and characterization methods to demonstrate device capability and limits. You will work in a team of highly experienced device and process integration engineers to develop cost-effective, manufacturable devices for some of the most demanding of power applications. This is a high visibility position with potential to make significant business and technological impacts.

*The full details regarding your position scope as well as any future potential changes in work location and job scope will be provided during the interview process.
