• Conduct process engineering research, development, characterization, and evaluation for advanced
semiconductor processes and equipment.
• Develop, optimize, and sustain semiconductor manufacturing processes to improve yield, performance, reliability,
and cost.
• Review existing processing techniques and identify opportunities for process improvements and optimization.
• Develop new process formulations and define equipment/process requirements based on application needs.
• Plan and execute experiments, collect process data, and analyze results to drive process development.
• Compile and interpret experimental and production data to establish process windows, specifications, limits, and
variables.
• Apply Design of Experiments (DOE), Statistical Process Control (SPC), and statistical analysis methodologies for
process optimization.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to evaluate process compatibility with equipment and product
requirements.
• Support customer demonstrations, technical evaluations, and process application development.
• Work with internal teams and customers to understand technology roadmaps, process flows, technical
requirements, and business challenges.
• Contribute to next-generation semiconductor product and process development activities.
• Troubleshoot complex process and equipment issues and develop data-driven corrective actions.
• Prepare technical reports, presentations, process documentation, and recommendations.
• Provide technical guidance and direction to process technicians and junior engineers.
• Work effectively in a highly collaborative, matrixed, and cross-functional environment.
Minimum Qualifications
• Master’s degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or a related technical discipline
with 6+ years of relevant experience; OR
• PhD in a relevant technical discipline with 3+ years of relevant experience; OR
• Equivalent combination of education and relevant industry experience.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor process engineering and experimental methodologies.
• Hands-on experience in process development, process optimization, or semiconductor manufacturing.
Preferred Qualifications
• Hands-on experience working in semiconductor laboratories and/or semiconductor manufacturing environments.
• Experience with semiconductor equipment, surface preparation, process characterization, and analytical
techniques.
• Strong knowledge of SPC, DOE, statistical analysis, and structured problem-solving methodologies.
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or other scientific computing/programming languages.
• Experience with statistical analysis tools such as JMP, Minitab, or similar platforms.
• Experience with ALD, CVD, PECVD, PVD, plasma physics, RIE, ALE, ICP, or CCP.
• Knowledge of material synthesis, thin-film deposition, and material characterization.
• Experience with semiconductor process integration, process design, deposition, etch, dielectric films,
conductor/metal films, or related technologies.
• Experience working with semiconductor customers, suppliers, partners, or cross-functional engineering
organizations.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and technical problem-solving skills.
What You’ll Gain
• Opportunity to work on advanced semiconductor technologies and next-generation process development.
• Exposure to complex process engineering and material science challenges.
• Collaboration with experienced engineering, technology, and customer-facing teams.
• Opportunity to make a direct impact on semiconductor manufacturing performance, yield, and innovation.
• A collaborative environment that encourages technical ownership, continuous learning, and innovation.
