Because this role involves a combination of collaborative/in-person and independent work, it will take the form of a hybrid work format, with time split between working onsite and remotely.

Our employees work on the world’s most advanced electronics – from detecting threats for F-35 pilots to illuminating the night for soldiers. Spanning air, land, sea, and space, we are developing the technology of tomorrow, delivered today. Drawing strength from our differences, we’re innovating for the future. And you can, too. We put our customers first – exemplified by our mission: “We Protect Those Who Protect Us®.” Sound like a team you want to be a part of? Come build your career with BAE Systems.

Within the BAE Systems MMIC and Foundry Capabilities group, based in Nashua, NH, we design and fabricate high performance GaN and GaAs microwave and millimeter-wave Integrated Circuits (ICs) for the Space and Defense markets. We are looking for a senior semiconductor device characterization and modeling engineer to contribute to the development of our GaN and GaAs fabrication processes and the modeling of transistors at the heart of our GaN and GaAs ICs. Job responsibilities will include the following:

Set up wafer probers and test equipment to characterize transistors and related semiconductor devices for state-of-the-art GaN and GaAs process technologies

Calibrate test systems and execute test plans for a wide range of high-frequency on-wafer measurements over temperature including static and pulsed current-voltage, CW and pulsed S-Parameter, load- and source-pull, noise parameter, and intermodulation/mixer measurements

Contribute to the development of test structures and test chips for device and technology characterization, modeling, and validation

Work with our process development team on the development and production release of next generation GaN and GaAs processes

Develop, extract, validate, and document predictive compact transistor simulation models that accurately account for geometric, bias, temperature, and statistical variation from DC to W-band
