Plasma ETCH Process Engineer
About the role
Sustain and improve plasma etch processes to achieve safety, quality, cycle time, cost, and yield objectives within a semiconductor manufacturing environment. Develop and qualify process recipes, analyze process and equipment data, drive root-cause investigations, and implement corrective actions to improve manufacturing performance and product reliability.
Partner closely with equipment engineering, manufacturing, metrology, yield enhancement, and integration teams to resolve technical issues and support production goals. Lead process characterization activities, execute experiments, and manage process changes through established change-control and qualification procedures.
A G4 engineer works independently on moderately complex technical problems, provides technical guidance to technicians and junior engineers, and contributes to continuous-improvement initiatives across the factory.
