Reports to: VP, Semiconductor Technology

Location: San Francisco Bay Area or Salt Lake City

Overview: 

You will be a key member in the sensor team responsible for designing and verifying pressure sensor for medical applications. You will design the state-of-art MEMS pressure sensor to meet to product requirements for cardiovascular procedure. You will be expected to take high level user requirements and create a realizable system that meets these goals. This will include modeling of proposed solutions, verifying the design and assisting process engineers on fabrication. This is a highly cross-functional role, and you will work with others to identify critical aspects of how the design will interact with the overall product. 

Responsibilities: 

· Design MEMS pressure sensor to be used in medical devices.

· Work closely with the system architects, mechanical engineers, and electrical engineers to define constraints and requirements including performance, power and area targets.

· Provide assistance to process engineers on wafer fabrication development.

· Validate the performance of the design. 

· Assist testing team and verification team including test methodology development.

· Participate in strategic planning for new sensing platforms and techniques.

· Partner with external vendors and key opinion leaders to understand and identify technical strategies for improving the safety and performance of the medical devices.

· Collaborate with the other Engineering teams, Quality, and Regulatory functions on knowledge transfer and document generation.

· Actively contribute to product innovation and intellectual property (IP) by generating ideas and demonstrating their feasibility through proof-of-concept studies.

· Collaborate with specialists from cross-disciplinary design and technology teams.

Minimum Experience: 

· 5 years of experience working with MEMS sensor design.
