Job content

BelGaN is a new company with a vision to become a leading 200mm automotive-qualified GaN (Gallium-Nitride) foundry in Belgium, at the heart of a “GaN Valley” ecosystem in Europe and beyond.

BelGaN will transform into a dedicated GaN-focused semiconductor technology company. BelGaN will innovate, develop, and bring to market an extensive roadmap of state-of-the-art and novel GaN technologies.

To realize this and be successful, BelGaN is planning to significantly expand its R&D team and is looking for multiple talented semiconductor engineers and technical managers, both juniors and seniors, for a variety of technical and business domains. Experience in GaN is a strong asset, but we are also looking for engineers & technical managers with background in other semiconductors (e.g. Si, SiC) or related domains (e.g. electronics circuits and power applications), that want to make the transition to the exciting and expanding world of GaN. Also, young engineers soon graduating with a MSc or Phd degree in solid state physics, micro/nano-electronics, power IC circuits or power electronics, or adjacent fields in chemical/physical/electronic sciences, technologies, and products, will be considered.

We are planning an intense and high-quality training program on GaN science and technology.
