Support development and production of high-voltage SiC power devices through device characterization, test planning, CP/FT test development, data analysis, wafer probing, root-cause analysis, yield monitoring, and cross-functional issue resolution from silicon bring-up to high-volume manufacturing.
Job Purpose
Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS) is a next-generation power semiconductor leader driving innovation in gallium nitride (GaN) and high-voltage silicon carbide (SiC) technologies. Our products enable faster, more efficient power delivery across AI data centers, high-performance computing, energy and grid infrastructure, and industrial electrification.
The Product Engineer – SiC supports the development and production of high-voltage Silicon Carbide power devices spanning the 650 V to 10 kV range. This role helps ensure robust electrical performance, manufacturability, yield, reliability, and customer quality from initial silicon bring-up through high-volume manufacturing and field deployment.
Key Responsibilities and Duties
- Execute device characterization across the SiC portfolio, including test planning, measurement, and reporting.
- Support the qualification of new technologies and products.
- Develop CP and FT test plans and validate test hardware and test programs.
- Support cross-functional task forces in resolving critical quality and yield issues.
- Analyze CP/FT and characterization data to drive yield and quality improvements.
- Support lot disposition, yield monitoring, and sustaining engineering activities.
- Drive test-limit optimization and continuous-improvement initiatives.
- Perform wafer probing, bench debugging, and root cause analysis.
- Collaborate with Test, Reliability, Operations, and Packaging teams.
Required Qualifications
- B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
- 2–3 years of experience in high-voltage SiC (or discrete power device) product, test, or characterization engineering.
- Experience with semiconductor device analysis and debugging.
- Hands-on bench testing experience with high-voltage discrete FETs, including the use of low-voltage (LV) and high-voltage (HV) power supplies, digital multimeters (DMMs), and oscilloscopes.
- Strong data-analysis skills (SPC, Cpk, yield).
- Familiarity with CP/FT production flows.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with failure analysis and reliability testing.
- Exposure to SiC device physics and reliability mechanisms (gate oxide, avalanche/UIS, short-circuit).
- Knowledge of JMP, Python, or similar data-analysis tools.
What We Offer
- A front-row seat to the future of power electronics through industry-leading SiC and GaN technologies.
- Hands-on ownership across the full product lifecycle, from silicon bring-up to high-volume manufacturing.
- A fast-paced, execution-focused environment with strong mentorship and deep technical expertise across teams.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
