Sr. Staff Device Engineer, Logic

**What to Expect** Tesla is seeking a Staff Device Engineer in Austin to define logic CMOS device technology from the design side. This role owns device design, design\-technology co\-optimization (DTCO), and the models and design rules that let circuit design use the technology. The work sits with the design team. You will build design enablement, from TCAD and SPICE models through the process design kit (PDK) and device design rules, and set the device roadmap for advanced logic CMOS, including FinFET and gate\-all\-around (GAA) devices. **What You'll Do*** Define logic device architecture and transistor targets through design\-technology co\-optimization (DTCO) * Own device design for advanced CMOS, including FinFET and gate\-all\-around devices, against performance, power, area, and cost * Build and govern the PDK and device design rules that support technology definition and design enablement * Run TCAD process and device simulation to explore device options and set electrical targets before silicon * Develop device models and correlate them to silicon, including compact models used in SPICE simulation * Partner with circuit design to enable design closure, from model accuracy and design\-rule intent through corner behavior * Use parametric data, design of experiments, and electrical analysis to close gaps between TCAD, SPICE, and silicon * Set the device and modeling roadmap, and lead technical decisions with design and technology development * Mentor device and design\-enablement engineers and set the methods for modeling, design rules, and technology decisions **What You'll Bring*** 10\+ years in CMOS device engineering, with the core of that work in device design, TCAD, or design enablement * Degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience * Hands\-on design of advanced logic transistors, including FinFET or gate\-all\-around devices * Demonstrated DTCO work that turned device physics into design rules, models, and product targets * Experience building or owning PDK content and device design rule governance * Proficiency in TCAD process and device simulation and in SPICE or compact device modeling * Record of correlating simulation to silicon using parametric data, design of experiments, and statistical analysis * Practical skill with modeling and data analysis flows, including Python and standard TCAD and SPICE tools * Proven ability to lead technical direction with design teams without direct authority, and to mentor other engineers * Clear communication of device, model, and design\-rule decisions to design, technology, and leadership audiences Tesla is an Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action employer committed to diversity in the workplace.
