Process Engineer III

What you'll do

• Conduct research, development, and evaluation of process engineering for semiconductor equipment and systems.
• Develop and sustain new processes to reduce production costs and increase manufacturing yields.
• Analyze test data to establish process specifications and determine next steps in development.
• Manage thin film deposition projects including CVD, ALD, and plating for sub 2nm logic nodes.
• Troubleshoot hardware and process problems in collaboration with customer engineers.
• Provide leadership and technical guidance to process technicians during execution activities.
• Present technical results and project updates to internal executives and external customers.

What we're looking for

• A Master's degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or a related field with 6+ years of experience is required.
• A PhD with 3+ years of experience is required as an alternative to the Master's and experience requirement.
• Experience in semiconductor manufacturing, process design, deposition, etch dielectrics, or metal films is preferred.
• Familiarity with laboratory work, semiconductor equipment, surface preparation, and analytical techniques is preferred.
• In-depth understanding of Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Design of Experiments (DOE) is preferred.
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or other scientific computing languages is preferred.
• Knowledge of material synthesis, characterization, and plasma physics is preferred.
• Experience with deposition technologies such as ALD, CVD, PECVD, or PVD is preferred.
