This opportunity is addressed to engineers with a background in Electronics or equivalent scientific background.
Responsibilities- The selected candidate will join the HW team working on MEMS-based products and will collaborate with ASIC, system, FPGA, PCB, firmware, software, packaging, process and test engineers.
- Translate product and system requirements into MEMS sensor and package specifications, architectures and verifiable design requirements.
- Design, model and simulate control loops of MEMS sensing structures.
- Desing the analog circuits to control the MEMS sensor.
- Define and develop package concepts for MEMS devices, considering mechanical support, stress management, thermal behavior, vacuum or controlled atmosphere, interconnections, sealing, contamination control and compatibility with assembly processes.
- Assess the interaction between MEMS structures and package through mechanical, thermal and multiphysics modeling, and drive sensor-package co-design to minimize performance degradation.
- Coordinate interfaces with foundries, packaging suppliers and assembly partners, supporting process selection, design rules, tolerancing, prototype fabrication and industrialization.
- Define and support verification plans, prototype characterization, environmental and reliability testing, failure analysis and interpretation of results at die, package and product level.
- Contribute to design reviews, risk analysis, design-for-manufacturing, design-for-test, yield improvement and qualification activities.
- Generate and maintain sensor and package design documentation, models, interface specifications, verification reports and requirements traceability.
- Master’s degree in Electronics, Microelectronics, Physics, Materials Science or a related discipline, with relevant experience in MEMS development.
- Knowledge of MEMS sensing principles, micromechanics, electrostatic or other transduction mechanisms, and the main performance and error sources of MEMS sensors.
- Experience in the design, modeling and simulation of control loops for MEMS structures using finite-element, multiphysics and dedicated MEMS design tools.
- Knowledge of microfabrication technologies, materials, process design rules, tolerances and their impact on sensor performance, yield and reliability.
- Knowledge of MEMS packaging technologies and constraints, including die attach, bonding, interconnections, sealing, cavity or vacuum packages, thermo-mechanical stress, outgassing and reliability.
- Ability to perform sensor-package co-design and to evaluate the interaction of the MEMS device with ASICs, electronics, assembly processes and the operating environment.
- Familiarity with laboratory instrumentation, prototype characterization, environmental testing, statistical analysis and failure-analysis techniques.
- Ability to work autonomously and within multidisciplinary teams, with a structured approach to problem solving and requirements management.
- Ability to deliver results within schedule, quality and cost constraints.
- Good written and spoken English; knowledge of additional languages is a plus.
