R&D Engineering, Sr Staff Engineer

You will join a dynamic engineering team focused on developing and delivering best-in-class lithography and mask synthesis solutions. As a Sr Staff Engineer, you will collaborate directly with customers and internal R&D teams to understand and address technical challenges in mask synthesis and lithography.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

• Collaborating with customers and internal R&D teams to understand and address technical challenges in mask synthesis and lithography.
• Translating customer requirements into comprehensive Product Requirement Documents (PRDs), shaping product direction and roadmap.
• Reviewing and approving functional specifications to ensure alignment with customer needs and technical feasibility.
• Conducting early-stage testing of new features and functionalities during development cycles, providing critical feedback for product refinement.
• Prototyping advanced OPC/RET solutions and partnering with R&D to drive their transition into robust, production-ready tools.
• Supporting field Application Engineers (AEs) and customers in debugging and resolving complex production issues.
• Developing training materials and delivering technical workshops to internal teams and external customers.

By joining our team, you will accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge OPC and RET technologies, enabling customers to achieve higher yields and better device performance. You will also influence product strategy and feature development by consolidating customer feedback and industry trends.

To succeed in this role, you will need:

• A PhD or Master’s degree in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum 3+ years in Lithography, OPC/RET, and mask synthesis.
• Proficiency in Linux/UNIX environments and Python scripting for process automation and prototyping.
• Comprehensive understanding of mask synthesis challenges and workflows in semiconductor foundries.
• Strong analytical skills and a proven track record of solving complex technical problems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Broad knowledge of state-of-the-art RET, ILT, and OPC solutions.
