A well-funded deep-tech semiconductor company with long-term customers is seeking a Device Lab Engineer to be a core contributor to the R&D team by executing comprehensive electrical characterization of novel high-power and high-frequency transistor devices. This role is essential for turning raw measurement data into actionable insights for device design and process optimization.

Main Tasks:

• Execute and maintain a wide variety of electrical characterization measurements (DC, AC, pulsed, RF, load-pull) on fabricated semiconductor devices.
• Design and build custom measurement setups and procedures as required for novel device architectures and performance metrics.
• Process, analyze, and summarize large datasets from device measurements, identifying trends and anomalies.
• Prepare detailed reports and presentations on measurement outcomes and device performance for the R&D team and management.
• Maintain, calibrate, and troubleshoot sophisticated lab equipment, ensuring an efficient and reliable measurement environment.

Key Qualifications:

• 4+ years of hands-on experience with electrical characterization of semiconductor devices (e.g., transistors, diodes, passive components).
• Proven proficiency in operating and troubleshooting advanced lab equipment (e.g., Source-Measure Units, Network Analyzers, Power Supplies, Wafer Probers).
• Strong skills in data analysis and reporting using tools like MATLAB, Python, Excel, JMP or similar.
• Solid understanding of semiconductor device physics and electrical measurement techniques.
• Familiarity with high-power or high-frequency measurement methods is a plus.
• Proven ability to work effectively and accurately in a fast-paced R&D lab environment.
• Excellent analytical skills and a methodical approach to problem-solving.
• An M.Sc. or B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Engineering, or similar disciplines, with relevant experience.

Useful Qualifications (Nice to Have):

• Experience with automated measurement scripting
• Experience in the characterization of wide band-gap materials (e.g., GaN, SiC, metal oxides).
• Experience with thermal or reliability testing of semiconductor devices.
• Familiarity with cleanroom protocols and basic microfabrication concepts.

Personal Qualifications:

• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and committed to data integrity and quality.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a small team.
• Proactive problem-solver and a goal-oriented team player open to new challenges.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
