TL;DR · Photolithography Process Engineer

As a Photolithography Process Engineer within the Wireless Semiconductor Division, you will develop and sustain new and enabling unit processes in high volume Si MEMS production facilities. You will collaborate with Technology Development and Equipment Engineering teams to manage layer and process tool ownership, specifically focusing on ASML i-line steppers and high-topography exposure systems for silicon-based technologies. Your daily responsibilities include managing CD and overlay SPC charts, monitoring defects, and performing experimental design and data analysis to improve yield and quality. You will utilize tools such as JMP, Minitab, Spotfire, and Excel/Access while leveraging expertise in TEL_ACT8 and PAS5500 equipment. The role addresses technical challenges involving new materials, advanced process control, and thick resist processing for MEMS devices, ensuring robust manufacturing through rigorous characterization and statistical validation of complex device architectures.

What you'll do

  • Develop and characterize robust photolithography processes for high-volume Si MEMS production.
  • Manage CD, overlay SPC charts, and monitor layer defects for manufacturing lines.
  • Operate ASML i-line steppers and high-topography exposure systems for MEMS technologies.
  • Implement monitoring methodologies like FDC and SPC to detect equipment performance excursions early.
  • Perform experimental design and data analysis to support process development and improvements.
  • Identify and resolve yield and defect issues through clear communication across the organization.
  • Manage long-term improvement projects to meet organizational goals for quality, yield, and cost.
  • Oversee new material integration and advanced resist processing for R&D requirements.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in EE, ME, ChE, Materials Science, Physics, or Chemistry with 8+ years of related experience.
  • Master's degree in EE, ME, ChE, Material Sciences, Physics, or Chemistry with 6+ years of related experience.
  • PhD in EE, ME, ChE, Material Sciences, Physics, or Chemistry with 3+ years of related experience.
  • Expertise in photolithography and proficiency with a wide variety of photolithography tools.
  • Experience with ASML i-line steppers, PAS5500 equipment, and TEL_ACT8 track systems is highly desirable.
  • Proficiency in Statistical Process Control (SPC) and data analysis using JMP, Minitab, Spotfire, or Excel/Access.
  • Knowledge of silicon-based MEMS devices, Wafer-Level Packaging, TSVs, or thick resist processing is desired.
  • Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required.
