TL;DR · R&D Fab Process Engineer

As an R&D Fab Process Engineer within the Wireless Semiconductor Division, you will develop and sustain new and enabling etch processes in state of the art MEMS production facilities. You will support new development and existing volume manufacturing by exploring new materials and applications, optimizing processes, and rolling developed processes into high volume manufacturing. Your daily work involves conducting experimental design and data analysis to support process changes while identifying and resolving yield and defect issues. You must possess strong knowledge in Dry Etch Fundamentals, Statistical Process Control, and DOE methods. Key responsibilities include maintaining well controlled etch processes for silicon based micro fabrication technologies. You will utilize strong analytical skills and documentation habits to communicate results across the broader engineering organization and equipment maintenance groups.

What you'll do

  • Develop and sustain new and enabling dry etch processes for silicon-based micro fabrication technologies.
  • Roll out newly developed processes into high-volume manufacturing environments.
  • Conduct experimental design and data analysis to support process changes and improvements.
  • Identify and resolve yield and defect issues within the unit process area.
  • Maintain well-controlled etch processes to meet technical requirements for new technology development programs.
  • Apply Statistical Process Control (SPC) and DOE methods to drive robust manufacturing solutions.
  • Document new process developments and improvements clearly for the broader engineering organization.

What we're looking for

  • BSc or higher in EE, ME, ChE, Materials Science, Physics, or Chemistry and 5+ years of experience.
  • MSc or higher and 3+ years of experience (preferred).
  • Experience as a Dry Etch Engineer in a manufacturing environment.
  • Strong knowledge of Dry Etch fundamentals and manufacturing.
  • Strong fundamentals in Statistical Process Control and experiment design (DOE) methods.
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to use data to drive robust solutions.
  • Strong documentation skills for new process development and process improvements.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with engineering, operational, and equipment maintenance groups.
