Staff Engineer, TCAD

What You’ll Do

The Samsung TCAD Lab (STL) develops simulation solutions for advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology requirements. The STL was initiated in January 2011 and is based in Silicon Valley. The lab focuses on the development of Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) models and simulation software for deploying advanced manufacturing processes for semiconductor devices and materials. STL supports logic, memory, CIS, and power devices technology development, as well as the development of compact models for advanced logic and memory technology. In addition, the teams of top engineering talent at the lab conduct pioneering TCAD-based device research on extremely low-power applications.

We are looking for a dynamic, self-motivated engineer to develop TCAD models and simulation software. 

Location: Hybrid, working onsite at our San Jose, CA headquarters 3 days a week, with the flexibility to work remotely the remainder of your time the remainder of your time.
