Process Engineer

Join one of two dynamic teams: Process Development or Defects & Productivity, with a current focus on the Process Development team. This role supports the development of advanced dry etch processes, aiding in customer tool-of-record selections through process development, optimization, and DOE-driven tuning to meet specifications and performance targets. The equipment is projected to enter production in 3-5 years if selected.

Responsibilities

• Conduct experiments for customer projects and provide detailed reports and presentations regularly.
• Support the development of advanced dry etch processes to achieve customer tool-of-record selections.
• Execute process development, optimization, and DOE-driven tuning to meet customer specifications, performance targets, and device integration requirements.
• Collaborate with Process Technicians and Analytical Team members on the process development cycle.
• Work on advanced process nodes (2nm, 14A, 10A, and beyond) in FEOL and BEOL dry etch modules.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in dry etch/plasma etch processes in semiconductor (experience with Applied Materials, TEL, Lam preferred).
• 5-15 years of experience as a Process Engineer in semiconductor manufacturing.
• Proficiency in process improvement, manufacturing engineering, tooling, thin film, experimental processes, and statistical process control (SPC).

Qualifications

• Experience from SCREEN, ASML, Kokusai would be comparable (wet etch experience acceptable with more years).
• Experience in deposition, lithography, and working within a clean room environment.

Work Environment

The Process Engineer will work at the office, closely collaborating with a team in a clean room lab facility, though daily work will not be primarily in the clean room. The environment is characterized by a strong team dynamic, with a stable, tight-knit division and high retention of Process Engineers. The division is known for working on advanced technology nodes and provides a collaborative atmosphere energized by cutting-edge technology development.

Pay

The pay range for this position is $100,000 - $160,000/yr. Individual compensation offered within this range will depend on qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors.

Benefits

• Benefits from HR (inquire with Kelsey Hitachi for details).
• RSU note.
• Bonus program.
