About the role
Career Opportunity
This role offers the opportunity to apply advanced AI/ML methods to semiconductor device-modeling challenges within a cross-functional technology-development environment. The engineer will work with device physicists, compact-modeling experts, characterization engineers, PDK developers, and circuit designers to create scalable, production-relevant modeling solutions.
Summary of Role
GlobalFoundries is seeking a Level 6 AI-Enabled Device Modeling Engineer with strong artificial intelligence, machine-learning, and scientific-computing skills. The engineer will independently develop and deploy AI-enabled methods that combine device physics, measured silicon data, compact-model simulations, and TCAD results to accelerate model extraction, improve predictive accuracy, and create scalable modeling workflows for CMOS, cryogenic, photonic, superconducting, and other emerging devices.
Essential Responsibilities
Develop, optimize, and validate machine-learning methods for semiconductor device modeling, including parameter extraction, surrogate modeling, model calibration, inverse modeling, and prediction of device characteristics.
Build reproducible data pipelines that combine measured device data, compact-model simulations, TCAD results, and relevant process or test metadata.
Train, validate, and compare AI/ML models using appropriate baselines, holdout datasets, error metrics, uncertainty analysis, and physics-based constraints.
Apply methods such as neural networks, Gaussian processes, optimization, sensitivity analysis, and physics-informed machine learning to device-modeling problems.
Automate model fitting, feature extraction, hyperparameter optimization, regression testing, visualization, and reporting using Python-based workflows.
Work with device, characterization, compact-modeling, PDK, EDA, and circuit-design teams to translate technical requirements into usable AI-enabled modeling solutions.
Document datasets, assumptions, model architecture, training methods, validation results, limitations, and recommended usage to support traceability and knowledge transfer.
Lead focused proof-of-concept demonstrations and transition successful AI/ML methods into maintainable device-modeling and design-enablement workflows with appropriate testing, documentation, and stakeholder review.
Other Responsibilities
Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.
Work and collaborate on other projects and/or assignments as needed.
