Senior SiC Device Design Engineer at Coherent

Join Coherent in Stockholm as a Senior Device Design Engineer, leading cutting-edge SiC power semiconductor innovation!

As a Senior Device Design Engineer at Coherent, you will be crucial to advancing SiC MOSFET technology. Your primary responsibilities will involve the development and optimization of TCAD models for SiC power MOSFETs, along with the evaluation and analysis of device performance and fabrication technology.
If you possess expertise in semiconductor device design and a deep understanding of device physics and fabrication processes, this role is for you!

Be a key player in the future of cutting-edge device development. Welcome with your application!

Purpose, Offer and Benefits

With a history as a small start-up and now part of a global tech company, we offer you an innovative environment with state-of-the-art technology. You will be part of a team developing technologies for a sustainable future for the automotive, IT, and energy sectors.

Here you will:

• Make a difference! There is no "this is how we have always done". Instead, we promote innovation, trial-and-error, and learn from every prototype, experiment, and discovery.
• Work with experienced and committed colleagues who collaborate, share best practices, knowledge, and support each other.
• Implement research into real products that will be manufactured and sold worldwide.
• Contribute to a more sustainable future! Our SiC technology minimizes energy loss in power electronics used in electric vehicles, solar energy, or industry.

Coherent is proud of its values as represented in I CARE: Integrity, Collaboration, Accountability, Respect, Enthusiasm, and these permeate both strategies and the daily work.

Your Responsibilities

As a Senior Device Design Engineer, your main work tasks are:

• Developing device designs for SiC power MOSFET products
• Creating TCAD simulation models and structures for MOSFET products and key technologies
• Evaluate and analyze device performance and fabrication technology, correlating results with TCAD models and simulations.
• Designing CAD layouts for development and product batches
• Maintaining and developing device design and modelling tools, software, and licenses (e.g., TCAD Sentaurus, SPICE)
• Supervising and supporting junior device design engineers
• Documenting work, progress reporting, and providing instructions, quality, development, and delivery reports
• Creating intellectual property (patents and trade secrets) related to developed products
• Preparing presentations for internal and external use

The Bigger Picture

You will be part of a team consisting of other engineers, reporting to the Device Team Manager.
The position is full-time and requires a certain operational proximity to the facility in Kista Stockholm, but free working hours are applied and the possibility to work from home on certain occasions, is possible. For this role there is also the possibility of working at the Coherent office in Germany, in Eching just outside Munich.

Our Expectations

We attach great importance to your personal qualities, but to be relevant for this role it is required that you:

• Hold a PhD in semiconductors, microelectronics or equivalent.
• Have over 5 years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing.
• Have expertise in semiconductor device design modelling.
• Possess hands-on experience with TCAD modelling.
• Have very good knowledge of semiconductor physics.
• Experience in power semiconductors and SiC technology is advantageous.

In order to succeed and thrive in the role, we see that you are innovative, a problem solver, methodical, result-oriented, and a team player. It is also important that you always strive to achieve the highest quality in your work, and that you have a systematic and organized way of working.
