GaN Device Engineer

Our client is India’s first Gallium Nitride (GaN for short) deep-tech semiconductor product company for radio-frequency electronics and power electronics. Their vertical technology integration – from making GaN wafers (materials), using their proprietary semiconductor manufacturing processes to realize GaN components and their design – enables them to develop solutions for compact, efficient and high-power solutions across the strategic, telecom and consumer use-cases.

Job Summary :

We are seeking a highly motivated and driven Device Engineer to join our engineering team. The successful candidate will be responsible for the design, development, characterization, and analysis of gallium nitride devices within our product portfolio. This role requires a strong understanding of device physics, process integration, and electrical characterization to support new product development and continuous improvement initiatives.

Key Responsibilities :

Design and develop GaN transistors as well as eval-boards and reference circuits, including actively interfacing with processing, testing and reliability teams for device improvement and design of test plans

Design and perform electrical characterization and various reliability tests on GaN transistors and eval boards including but not limited to MTTF estimation. This includes design of fixtures, jigs, circuits etc. for reliability testing as well as identifying cause of device failure and degradation.

Collaborate with process engineers to optimize fabrication and integration processes.

Develop device models and simulations to predict behavior under various operating conditions.

Come up with test plans for various reliability and qualification processes for GaN devices, and lead their execution with the respective teams.

Stay up to date with industry trends, technologies, and best practices.

Prepare technical reports, documentation, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
