What is a semiconductor device modeling?

A Semiconductor Device Modeling job involves developing mathematical and computational models to simulate the electrical, thermal, and physical behavior of semiconductor devices. Engineers in this role use tools like TCAD, SPICE, and numerical solvers to analyze device performance, optimize designs, and support technology development. They work closely with process engineers, circuit designers, and researchers to improve semiconductor fabrication and ensure accurate representation of device behavior under various conditions.

What are the typical daily tasks for someone working in semiconductor device modeling?

Professionals in Semiconductor Device Modeling typically spend their days developing and refining computer models of electronic devices, running simulations to predict device behavior, and analyzing data to optimize designs. Collaborating closely with design engineers, process engineers, and fabrication teams is common to ensure models accurately reflect real-world device performance. Additionally, you may be responsible for documenting your findings, preparing technical reports, and presenting your results to cross-functional teams. This dynamic role often requires multitasking between project requirements and ongoing collaboration to meet tight development timelines.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in semiconductor device modeling, and why are they important?

To excel in Semiconductor Device Modeling, candidates generally need advanced knowledge of semiconductor physics, device operation principles, and a degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with simulation tools such as TCAD, SPICE, and MATLAB, as well as programming skills in Python or C++, is highly valuable. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective teamwork set top performers apart in this role. These qualifications are crucial because device modeling directly influences product design, manufacturing efficiency, and the innovation of new semiconductor technologies.

Job description

Summary
AOI is a leading supplier of high-speed transceivers used in fiber optical communications. We are looking for a highly motivated Semiconductor Laser Design and Modeling Engineer. Responsibilities include design, modeling, and simulations of InP and GaAs based high-speed and high-power semiconductor lasers. The candidate is responsible for creating models and software to develop next-generation new optoelectronics products in a young & dynamic RD team.
Responsibilities
  • Apply in-house design packages, commercial software, and self-written scripts to create high-speed or high-power laser device modeling and simulations, including optical waveguide, DC, RF, and thermal simulations.
  • Design process flow and photomask with device fabrication engineers.
  • Coordinate design verification with in-house Growth, Processing, Packaging, Characterization, and Reliability teams.
  • Analyze experimental results to improve the design or model.
  • Work as a team to propose new laser designs and provide supports to design optimizations.
  • Provide regular written and oral reports on design tasks and progresses.

Qualifications
  • Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Optics or other related fields; or M.S. degree with 5+ years relevant laser design experiences.
  • 2+ years of work experience in semiconductor laser design is preferred.
  • Education can generally be substituted for required specialized experience.
  • Preferably having previous design experiences in one or more of the following areas: high-speed laser, electro absorption modulated laser (EML), vertical cavity surface- emitting laser (VCSEL), and high power laser.
  • Mastery of Matlab or other programming languages.
  • Fully understand theories of semiconductor laser, photodetector, and other optoelectronic devices.
  • Knowledge of basic semiconductor device fabrication process is a plus
  • Self-motivated, careful, detail-oriented, and ability to think logically.

Location
This position will be on-site based in Sugar Land, Texas.
WHY AOI?
In addition to competitive salary, AOI offers
  • Flexible and competitive health (medical, dental, vision) plans offer the employee with the right options to meet individual and family needs
  • Employer matching on 401(k) deferrals
  • Generous PTO policy, with unused PTO payout at end of the year
  • Relocation package available within US
  • Immigration sponsorships (Must be currently authorized to work in the US)

We do not accept unsolicited proposals from third-party recruiters or agencies. Contacting hiring managers directly may result in disqualification of submissions.
