(Senior) Process Development Engineer (m/f/d)

About the role

As (Senior) Process Development Engineer (m/f/d), you will play a key role in advancing wide band gap technologies such as SiC and GaN, driving innovation from process development to industrialization. Working closely with production, quality, and global partners, you will contribute to the continuous improvement of our wafer fabrication capabilities and support the next generation of efficient, high-power devices.

This is your new job

• Develop modules and wafer fabrication processes for discrete wide band gap products like SIC MOSFET and GaN HEMT on site in Hamburg and for other locations
• Continuously increase know-how in wide band gap wafer processes
• Investigate competitor processes and technologies
• Build up and maintain internal contacts
• Conduct process optimization projects, setting up new manufacturing processes in own wafer fabs or in foundries abroad.

You will be assigned to projects that develop new or altered wafer manufacturing processes by creating, optimizing and combining unit processes together with the engineers in production and quality.

This is you

• Bachelor or Master’s degree in an Engineering field, preferably in Microelectronics or Semiconductor Physics
• Ideally several years of experience in this field
• Knowledge of semiconductor devices with special focus on SiC MOSFET and GaN HEMT
• Experience with implementing semiconductor manufacturing processes especially for wide band gap materials into industrial environment
• Hands-on experience in wafer processing with the required equipment
• Fluent in English and German, both written and spoken
• Good organization and planning skills
• Team player with a strong drive to achieve success
• Willingness to travel

This is your department and colleagues

You will be part of a dynamic, international, and multidisciplinary product development team, working closely with experts across product, process, production, and quality engineering. Together, the team drives the development of innovative semiconductor solutions, from concept to industrialization.

With a strong focus on collaboration, the team ensures that development outcomes are successfully transferred into operations, delivering robust, clearly defined, and scalable manufacturing processes. As part of the wider development organization, the team plays a key role in creating technologies and products that meet evolving customer demands.

This is what Nexperia offers

You will work on the wide band gap technology for the future progress in e-mobility, artificial intelligence or renewable energies in a strong and growing team of experts.

Good to know

Main site for development is the fab in Hamburg but depending on the assigned project, travelling is part of the job.

D&I Statement

As an equal-opportunity employer, Nexperia values diversity not just because it is the right thing to do but because diverse teams perform better. We are dedicated to being inclusive, and a proof point of this dedication is that we were the main partner of the very first Dutch Paralympic Team NL House during the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible to all, and we consider all applicants fairly, as well as providing a safe work environment and reasonable adjustments where requested.

In addition, we offer our colleagues the possibility to join employee resource groups such as the Pride Network Group or global and local Women’s groups. Nexperia is committed to increasing women in management positions to 30% by 2030.
