TL;DR · Process Technician III

As a Process Technician 3 within the Global Products Group, you will support process development, product development, and research and development for etch and deposition products. You will work alongside Process Engineers to prepare wafer fabrication equipment for tests, perform experiments, collect data, and submit samples. Your daily responsibilities include operating advanced tools using specific recipes to capture measurements such as thin film, CD, and wafer disposition performance, while also analyzing chemistry properties. You will create records, charts, and schematics to identify yield optimization areas and provide technical troubleshooting for application lab tools. This role requires a technical degree or certificate in fields like semiconductors, electronics, chemistry, or mechanics. Candidates must be able to work in a clean room environment wearing personal protective equipment while communicating effectively in English.

What you'll do

  • Prepare wafer fabrication equipment for testing, experimental setups, and sample submissions.
  • Operate processing equipment using specific recipes to collect experiment results and measurements.
  • Analyze chemistry properties, thin film thickness, and critical dimension data.
  • Create records, charts, and schematics of test results to identify yield optimization areas.
  • Provide technical assistance to process development teams and engineers during R&D projects.
  • Troubleshoot and improve application lab tools and experimental setups.

What we're looking for

  • Associate degree, Technical Certificate, or Diploma in semiconductors, electronics, chemistry, mechanical, or a related field.
  • Ability to work in a clean room environment while wearing personal protective equipment and a cleanroom suit.
  • Foundational communication skills in English, including reading and writing.
  • Ability to work on a shift schedule.
