Business Group
You will be joining Intel's Design Technology Platform (DTP) organization, a critical pillar that empowers Intel Foundry customers to produce cutting-edge products for the marketplace. The Compact Device Modeling Group (CDMG), within DTP, focuses on co-optimizing Intel's state-of-the-art process technology and design tools to enable the development of innovative, high-performance products. As part of this team, you will contribute to the modeling solutions that allow design teams to deliver leadership products for data-centric applications faster and with greater precision.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with technology leaders and PDK teams to ensure modeling capabilities align with roadmap requirements.
• Drive readiness and validation of simulation and modeling solutions to meet PDK delivery milestones.
• Develop compact device models (e.g., FinFET, GAA) for transistor modeling, including layout-dependent effects and circuit performance impacts.
• Conduct statistical modeling, simulation, and data analysis using Python scripting and other relevant tools.
• Implement innovative methodologies for device targeting benchmarking circuits, self-heating effects, and Open Model Interface (OMI) modeling.
• Collaborate across multiple teams and geographies to achieve seamless integration and optimized solutions.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline with 6+ years of industry experience in the semiconductor field; -OR- Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline with 4+ years of relevant industry experience; -OR- Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline with 2+ years of experience.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience with compact modeling techniques for advanced nodes such as FinFET and GAAFET.
• Proficiency with commercial simulators (e.g., HSPICE, Spectre) and extraction tools (e.g., ICCAP, MBP).
• Experience in Python scripting for data analysis and automation.
• Experience in statistical modeling, RF simulation, and EM simulation.

Preferred Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline with 3+ years of industry experience in the semiconductor field.
• Strong background in Device physics and RF modeling.
• Experience in RF structure design, RF De-embedding and EM simulation.
• Experience collaborating across teams and geographies, with experience leading technical initiatives.
• Experience with machine learning algorithms and their application in compact model development.
• Strong understanding of process flows, circuit design, and simulation methodologies.
