$130k - $175kTMS Technology
Senior Software & Systems Engineer - Semiconductor Diagnostics
San Jose, CA | Full-time | $130,000 – $175,000
My client is a specialist engineering company in San Jose that builds multi-million-dollar diagnostic instruments used by leading semiconductor manufacturers. Their tools combine laser scanning microscopy, photon emission analysis, and CAD navigation to identify defects at the transistor level - accelerating silicon debug and improving yield.
This is not a typical software role. You will write real-time control systems that synchronise lasers, precision motion stages, and high-bandwidth electronics, while building the visualisation tools that failure analysis engineers rely on to find faults and validate designs.
If you have a background in scientific instrumentation software and a deep understanding of semiconductor physics, this is one of the most technically challenging and impactful roles available in the Bay Area right now.
Develop and maintain software controlling high-precision optical and electronic instrumentation for semiconductor failure analysis
Design control systems that interface with CAD databases (e.g. Build high-performance C#/WPF GUIs to visualise photon emission data, waveforms, and device maps
Collaborate with hardware engineers and FA specialists to translate complex diagnostics into intuitive tools
Troubleshoot system-level interactions and drive performance optimisation across the full stack
Document architecture, workflows, and test plans
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Semiconductor Device Engineering
5+ years developing control software for scientific or diagnostic instruments in the semiconductor industry
Strong C++ and C# programming skills with WPF experience on Windows platforms
Solid understanding of semiconductor device physics and failure mechanisms
Experience with CAD navigation tools such as Synopsys Avalon
USB, PCIe, FPGA, RS-232/485
Prior experience at companies in the semiconductor equipment space
Real-time data processing and high-performance visualisation for complex datasets
Medical (PPO & HMO), dental, vision, and life insurance - effective first of month after hire
