Job Summary

Under the general supervision of the Process Engineering Manager, coordinates and directs development, sustaining, and continuous improvement activities (output, yield, cost reduction) focused on front end (wafer level) dry etch.

Defines processing and equipment requirements and specifications, and reviews techniques and methods applied in the manufacture, fabrication, and evaluation of next generation III-V infrared sensors.

The selected candidate will work with a team of technicians, maintenance/equipment personnel, operations management, development and yield engineering.

A strong understanding of infrared detector processes and materials is desirable, specifically involving dry etch, along with appropriate metrology techniques.

Seeking candidates who exhibit a self-driven sense of urgency, effective collaboration, tolerance of ambiguity, and demonstrated ability to exercise objective technical judgement.

Applicants must be either a U.S. citizen OR Perm Resident.

Detailed Description

• Strong hands familiarity w/ both process and equipment (advanced troubleshooting and RC/CA) involving dry etch (ICP/RIE), ancillary processes (dielectric deposition, including ALD & PECVD), and in situ metrology.
• Strong preference on experience w/ PlasmaTherm Versaline toolsets, including critical subsystems (gas delivery, vacuum pumps & valves, electrodes, etc.)
• Proven ability of tying theoretical principles (ab initio) to functional process & equipment improvements in support of production & development roadmaps.
• Design, execute, and status production and development experiments. Present technical findings to key technical and non-technical stakeholders. Formal DOE creation, execution, and analysis is a plus.
• Experience with Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Design of Experiments (DOE/ANOVA), including statistical analysis.
• Responsible for strong documentation and ownership of area work (process and equipment) instructions, job aids, training/certification, and production/operational standards.
• Apply structured problem solving (Kepner Tregoe, DMAIC, 8D, or similar) to excursions, capacity constraints, and yield improvements.
• Strong understanding of key process inputs and outputs, ability to collaborate and troubleshoot alongside upstream and downstream process owners and modules.
• Experience w/ MES systems in a medium volume, high mix, semiconductor manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated understanding of material/chemical safety data and ability to follow safety protocols & regulations (ex/ LOTO).
• Experience w/ phase gate release methodologies (NPI, phased LRIP).
• Partner w/ external vendors to specify, evaluate, and justify capital processing and metrology equipment. Facilitate gated release into production.

Desired Background

• M.S. or equivalent in a STEM field, min. 2 years of direct semiconductor processing experience.
• Ability to work in a cleanroom environment wearing full coverall garments for extended periods.
