Job description

Join JRC's Semiconductor Technology Team!

We are seeking a technically commanding Senior Manager of Semiconductor Technologies to manage our core development efforts in radiation-hardened microelectronics. Reporting directly to the Vice President of Semiconductor Technologies, this role oversees the strategic direction and technical execution of our next-generation LEAP Standard Cell Library and leads the development of proprietary simulation software for predicting reliability and radiation-induced error rates.

What You'll Do

  • Mentor, manage, and grow a high-performing multidisciplinary team of device physicists, circuit designers, and software engineers.
  • Serve as the subject matter expert on Semiconductor Device Physics for radiation effects, including TID, SEE, and SEU.
  • Define the technical strategy and roadmap for Radiation Hardened LEAP Standard Cell Libraries across multiple advanced foundry technology nodes.
  • Interface regularly with government and DoW customers, DIB customers and strategic partners, and attend relevant conferences. Contribute to BD pipeline assessments and capture tracking. Provide hands-on assistance with technical content of capture proposals and work seamlessly with the contracts and proposal execution teams.
  • Direct the development and enhancement of proprietary software tools used for analyzing circuit reliability and radiation-induced error rates.
  • Oversee advanced library characterization and simulations to optimize Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) in harsh environments.
  • Manage relationships with external foundry partners to influence Multi-Product Wafer (MPW) execution and interface directly with customers to ensure technical quality control.

What You Bring

  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field with 2+ years of direct industry experience, OR a Master's degree with 6+ years of direct industry experience, OR a Bachelor's degree with 8+ years of experience.
  • Must be eligible to obtain a U.S. security clearance due to the nature of defense-related projects.
  • Deep foundational knowledge of semiconductor device physics and semiconductor design methodologies and principles.
  • Hands-on experience with standard cell design, circuit design, and layout, and associated design tools (e.g. Virtuoso, Spectre, HSPICE)
  • Demonstrated experience being involved in test-chip designs and MPW execution.
  • Proficiency in design flows including DRC/LVS, timing analysis, and power integrity.
  • Extensive experience with semiconductor device & design simulation tools, specifically for library characterization.
  • Demonstrated track record of managing or leading engineers for a minimum of 5 years.
  • Demonstrated end-to-end track record of steering execution of complex technical projects from initial concept/feasibility phase through completion.
  • Outstanding communication and presentation skills

Bonus Points

  • Ph.D. with 5+ years, Master's with 9+ years, or Bachelor's with 10+ years of direct industry experience.
  • Proven leadership running and scaling highperforming multidisciplinary engineering teams while owning technical strategy and roadmaps.
  • Demonstrated success shaping governmentfocused proposals/contracts and contributing to BD pipelines and strategic captures.
  • Direct RHBD experience mitigating SEU/SEE, plus proficiency in C++, Python, and TCL for advanced simulation and automation.
  • Handson work with advanced FinFET and GAA nodes (e.g., Intel 18A) and a strong ability to rapidly learn new physics and technology platforms.
