Principal Engineer Technology Development (iv) in München bei Infineon Technologies AG

Have you heard of Infineon´s ambitious master plan to develop our next automotive microprocessor-microcontroller generation? Do you want to shape the future of smarter, safer and connected cars by solving complex technical challenges? Then we have a great opportunity for you!
As a Principal Engineer for Technology Development, you will act as a key driver in our growing Automotive Microcontroller Team to define the technology platforms for our next product generations.

With this position, you will enter our "Technical Ladder" career path. The Technical Ladder is a special career path for those who share innovative ideas, demonstrate comprehensive technical knowledge, show thought leadership, possess problem solving abilities and are able to create business value.

In your new role you will:

• Own the technology platform interface for our product architecture team to the Silicon Foundries for our existing and next product generations based on advanced CMOS technologies
• Actively driving the quality and device/interconnect reliability management based on a profound understanding of CMOS device physics and state-of-the art fabrication techniques
• Engaging into the technology assessment and product ramp-up phases as key technical expert for standard advanced CMOS technologies as well as embedded Non-Volatile memory (eNVM) technologies
• Ensure the technology platform competitiveness with respect to costs and KPIs by actively engaging in the Silicon Foundry Ecosystem
• Closely cooperate with different teams, such as platform architects, technology & reliability experts, foundry interfaces, product development & ramp-up teams and central design enablement
• Own and drive differentiation strategies within our broad range of advanced CMOS technologies, wrt. availability, safety, security, and automotive quality
• Expert consulting of line and project management incl. clear technical direction setting wrt. to lean development and cost-awareness

You have a clear notion of how innovation contributes to the commercial success of the company, you constantly gain new insights by questioning existing assumptions and you inspire others for your ideas explaining even complex issues in a clear and convincing manner. Furthermore, you accept responsibility for decisions and for their positive or negative outcomes taking on new challenges without knowing the right path to an eventual solution in advance. If you remain aware of the big picture even in complex situations and take decisions despite uncertain circumstances, then you should join our team!

Beyond, you are best equipped for those tasks if you have:

• A degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related field
• Minimum 5 years of experience in technology development of advanced CMOS technologies, including embedded NVM
• A technical leadership position and experience in Silicon Foundry engagement and/or technical management is necessary
• A deep understanding of CMOS devices including flash-based and alternative eNVM concepts and their integration challenges
• Expert knowledge in reliability and variability effects and their modeling techniques
• Hands-on experience in product ramp-up incl. ownership for quality, reliability and yield
• The Passion to find solutions for the complex technology-design interdependencies of advanced CMOS technologies and digital and mixed signal/high-speed building blocks
• The ability to understand product platform requirements and trade-offs from a holistic point of view
• Remarkable technical leadership capabilities combined with good communication skills
• The ability to work in cross-functional teams and a multicultural environment
• Fluent English is a must; German is appreciated
