Intel TCAD Software Research Engineer/Scientist in Hillsboro, Oregon

Job Description

Join Intel-and build a better tomorrow. Intel is undergoing an exciting transformation, with a vision to create and extend computing technology to connect and enrich the lives of every person on Earth. So, join us-and help us create the next generation of technologies that will shape the future for decades to come.

We are looking for more great software engineer leaders who can help us push computing capabilities even further. You will be working in a dynamic team which develops and applies software tools, scripts, and physical models to find the research path and guide the development of Intel transistors and the process technologies which make them.

There are openings for tool developers on our team for two specific areas, including a software development and maintenance of the simulators and also applications engineers that use the tools to aid technology development. Based on your profile and background you will be considered for one role of the other. See qualification for more details.

As a TCAD Software Research Engineer/Scientist your responsibilities are dependent on the subgroup and will include but not be limited to:

  • Applications . Creating software simulation flows, developing physical models, and analyzing the fundamental device and process issues encountered in cutting-edge technology development. Working on a team running device simulation, circuit simulation, and process simulation to deliver software capabilities, calibrate models, perform design-technology co-optimization (DTCO), and invent novel devices and innovative processes. Areas of expertise applicable include advanced process or device physics and modeling, applications of process or device simulations to evaluate transistor flows or architectures.

  • Device modeling. Development, calibration, and support of advanced semiconductor device simulators. Area of expertise applicable include advanced device transport, quantum effects, electronic structure, novel device and memory operation, optoelectronics, mesh generation, C++ software development, software architecture and numerical methods for device problems.

  • Process modeling. Development, calibration, and support of advanced semiconductor process simulators. Areas of expertise applicable include Defect-coupled diffusion/activation, FEM based stress simulation, C++ software development, software architecture, Numerical methods for process simulation, solid modeling, and mesh generation.

  • Collaboration. All positions will collaborate directly with the experimental research, process, and design teams to define experiments and present recommendations that achieve the scaling path for the logic, memory, and analog devices in advanced-node, industry-leading products.

Qualifications
