Job summary

AT&S Leoben is seeking a Senior Expert R&D in Substrate & Packaging Industrialization to advance integration concepts for high‑precision assemblies. You will translate concepts into stable processes through hands‑on experimentation.

Join an international team focusing on feasibility, prototyping, and scaling with DoE, collaboration across R&D and production, and a clear pathway for new technologies.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Materials Science, Electronics or a related technical field.
• Five+ years experience in substrate, PCB or advanced packaging manufacturing or process development.
• Experience across R&D, engineering, DoE and production interfaces in a collaborative environment.
• Experience in IC substrate manufacturing, HDI technologies, integration or prototyping is an advantage.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing and assembly processes in substrate or packaging environments.
• Ability to translate technical concepts into feasible and stable process solutions under real production conditions.
• Understanding of process sensitivities and tolerances in high‑precision assemblies.
• Structured, hands‑on and solution‑oriented approach with implementation focus.
• Fluency in English.

Responsibilities

• Evaluate integration approaches for high‑precision alignment within substrate and manufacturing environments.
• Assess compatibility with existing process capabilities, materials, and infrastructure.
• Support prototyping and DoE in development of integration approaches.
• Identify process limitations, tolerances, and constraints affecting implementation.
• Support and execute DoE-based experiments to validate approaches under realistic conditions.
• Identify process sensitivities and critical parameters affecting stability and yield.
• Iteratively refine processes based on experimental results and learnings.
• Contribute to identification of required process adaptations and infrastructure needs.
• Support internal decision‑making with feasibility assessments and technical input on process integration.
• Contribute to defining implementation pathways for new technologies.
