The Opportunity
In our R&D BiMOS semiconductor chip groups at Hitachi Energy Semiconductors, we are developing advanced power semiconductor devices across multiple voltage classes. Our high-quality products are manufactured at both internal and external production sites, providing solutions for customers worldwide in a variety of applications, including industrial, renewable energy, traction, and e-mobility.
We are currently seeking a motivated R&D Semiconductor Chip Specialist to contribute to the development of next-generation power semiconductor technologies. In this role, you will focus on silicon-based devices (with a strong emphasis on power diodes) while also expanding into broader device concepts such as IGBTs and MOSFETs.
This position is ideal for candidates with a solid technical foundation in semiconductor device physics and simulation, who are eager to enhance their expertise within a collaborative, high-tech R&D environment.
How You’ll Make an Impact
- Contribute to the development of next-generation power semiconductor chips, with a strong focus on silicon power diodes and related device technologies.
- Support the end-to-end technology and product development cycle, from concept and simulation to validation and reliability assessment.
- Apply and further develop TCAD simulation models to understand device behavior and optimize performance, yield, and cost.
- Collaborate closely with process engineers, characterization, and reliability teams, ensuring alignment between design and manufacturability.
- Take ownership of individual work packages or sub-projects, contributing to overall project goals and timelines.
- Drive continuous improvement through data-driven analysis, modeling, and optimization approaches.
- Actively contribute to knowledge sharing within the team while building a strong systems-level understanding of semiconductor devices and processes.
Your Background
- Master’s or PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a focus on semiconductor device physics.
