TL;DR · Module Process Engineer IV, Dielectric Deposition (CVD / ALD)

The Module Process Engineer IV - (E4) - Dielectric Deposition (CVD / ALD) joins the engineering team to serve as a technical authority in dielectric deposition technologies. This role involves leading technical discussions with customers to identify High Value Problems and implementing Continuous Improvement Projects to improve KPIs, reduce defects, and optimize process Cpk. The engineer will perform root cause diagnosis using advanced analytics, equipment constants, and tool sensor data to resolve complex process issues. Key responsibilities include mentoring junior engineers, generating technical reports, and leading the adoption of new service technologies like FabVantage. Candidates must possess deep expertise in CVD and ALD processes, a strong Wafer Fab background, and proficiency in data analytics to solve manufacturing, yield, and integration challenges within the semiconductor industry.

What you'll do

  • Lead technical discussions with customers to define and implement Continuous Improvement Projects.
  • Increase Customer Service Agreement value through defect reduction, cost-of-ownership improvement, and output optimization.
  • Identify and drive opportunities for service renewals, upselling, and market penetration.
  • Demonstrate and lead the adoption of new service technologies through customer demos and joint development programs.
  • Resolve complex equipment and process issues using advanced analytics and systematic root cause diagnosis.
  • Generate comprehensive technical reports and present findings based on tool sensor data and on-wafer results.
  • Serve as a technical authority in dielectric deposition, providing guidance on integration and yield challenges.
  • Mentor and lead junior-level engineers by providing technical direction and knowledge transfer.

What we're looking for

  • BS in Engineering, Physics, or Chemistry (or equivalent).
  • 7+ years of experience in dielectric deposition process engineering.
  • Strong Wafer Fab and semiconductor equipment experience.
  • Proven technical expertise in dielectric deposition unit processes and Wafer Fab operations.
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate complex ideas, anticipate objections, and persuade senior stakeholders.
  • Ability to travel domestically as assigned <50% per month.
  • Experience with two or more deposition technologies (preferred).
  • Broad understanding of adjacent disciplines with advanced integration knowledge (preferred).
