Experience and discipline in process transfer to pilot production line will be critical to a successful and efficient fab ramp-up.

Responsibilities:

• Review and train on existing R&D processes and transfer knowledge to pilot production line. Create a comprehensive checklist to ensure successful transfer of processes and materials.
• Design, collect data, analyze and compile reports on a wide range of complex process engineering experiments for multiple products, within safety guidelines.
• Collaborate with R&D and production process, integration, operations and hardware teams to ensure completing the checklist on time to meet timeline needed to start HVM operations.
• Track and manage schedules, deliverables, and risks for technology transfer and production milestones. Develop, plan and execute process engineering projects, within safety guidelines.
• Coordinate training with R&D transfer engineers. Train engineers in measurement techniques of film properties and guide them in the interpretation of the data, new methodologies, trouble shooting techniques and resolve a wide range of complex process engineering issues/problems for multiple products. Interact with customers to resolve a wide range of complex process engineering issues/problems with limited to no supervision.
• Design and implement new technology, products and analytical instrumentation. Utilize techniques to characterize hardware, define methods and apply new technologies to characterize hardware, and/or perform hardware characterization on a wide range of complex systems for multiple products, within safety guidelines.
