NVM Characterisation Engineer

On our pitch at X-FAB Dresden we are currently looking for a NVM Characterisation Engineer (m/f/d) to complete the team. 

Your pitch: 

• Develop and execute test programs to evaluate the performance of semiconductor/ Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) devices under various operating conditions.
• Perform bench-level electrical measurements to extract device characteristics, analyse bit cell behavior, and assess reliability performance.
• Analyse measurement data, compile detailed reports, and support ongoing characterisation campaigns.
• Investigate and troubleshoot failures or abnormal electrical behaviors in measured devices.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including Technology Development, Design and Production to ensure alignment between electrical performance and product specifications.
• Support NVM technology development by delivering comprehensive insights into device models, specifications, and design rules.
• Create documentation of test programs, characterisation results, and modeling data in accordance with procedures.
• Identify areas for improvement and proactively implement solutions to enhance workflow efficiency and test accuracy.

Your skills:

• Bachelor/Master in Electrical, Electronics Engineering, Material science, Physics or equivalent
• Understanding of semiconductor device physics and process integration principles.  
• Experience in device characterisation, reliability testing, and test program scripting is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with electrical measurement systems and parametric analysers (e.g., HP 4156, Keithley 4200, Keysight B1500) is an advantage.
• Hands-on experience with electrical characterization techniques such as I-V, C-V, HCI and memory endurance testing is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and present findings clearly.
• Able to work independently as well as collaboratively in a fast-paced, cross-functional team environment.
• Recent graduates with excellent academic records and hands-on internship experience are highly encouraged to apply. We provide a supportive environment with on-the-job training to help you build your expertise and launch your career in the semiconductor industry.
