Principal Device Design Engineer
Core
Develop cutting-edge switching power MOSFETs for 12V to 80V applications, managing the full product cycle from architecture conception to final characterization.
Role type
Principal Device Design Engineer (Power Semiconductor)
Builds
Novel device structures and proprietary process flows for manufacturable power switching devices
Domain
Power electronics / Semiconductor device physics / TCAD simulation
Deliverable
production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work -> physical/clinical work (Note: This is a hardware device role, but the specific deliverable category 'physical/clinical work' is not a standard fit for semiconductor design. Re-evaluating based on standard categories: The role builds physical devices. The closest standard category in the prompt list is 'product features' or 'infrastructure' but neither fits perfectly. However, the prompt asks to choose from a specific list. Let's look at the list again: 'production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work'. None of these perfectly describe 'semiconductor device design'. 'Product features' is the closest if we consider the device as a feature, but 'research' or 'infrastructure' might be better. Actually, the role is about designing the physical device. Let's select 'product features' as the device is the product feature being built, or perhaps 'research' if it's novel. The text says 'develop novel device structures'. Let's go with 'product features' as it's a product development role.
