Jobbeschreibung

At Nexperia Manchester, we are expanding our Semiconductor Process Engineering organisation with a unique opportunity for a highly capable postgraduate to join our world‑class high‑volume manufacturing fab. This role is not just a job, it is a structured, multi‑year development pathway designed to turn exceptional academic talent into industry‑ready process owners. You will work at the centre of innovation, contributing to new platforms, technologies and manufacturing improvements in a fab that contributes to the production of over 100 billion devices every year. Your work will directly influence product performance, yield, and the future of Nexperia's technology roadmap.

PLEASE NOTE, WE CAN ONLY CONSIDER APPLICANTS WHO HAVE THE RIGHT TO WORK IN THE UK AND WILL NOT CURRENTLY, OR IN THE FUTURE, REQUIRE VISA SPONSORSHIP

What you will do

• Phase 1: Foundation & Fab Readiness - You will become fab‑ready through training in cleanroom behaviour, device physics, statistical process control fundamentals, and structured problem solving, ensuring you are safe, credible and ready to contribute
• Phase 2: Structured Rotations - You will begin in a dedicated technology area before progressing into a structured six‑month introduction. You will then rotate through major process areas, Lithography, Etch, Deposition, Diffusion and Integration, each with clear learning objectives to guide your development. These rotations deepen your understanding of core process principles, include a deliverable Six Sigma project, and build the system‑level thinking needed for long‑term specialisation
• Phase 3: Process Ownership - You will get the chance to contribute to a specific process module or toolset, with growing responsibility for Statistical Process Control reviews, recipe changes, documentation, and yield excursions. This is where you transition from learner to accountable engineer!
• Phase 4: Optimisation & Specialisation - You will lead technical initiatives such as yield improvement, cost reduction, cycle‑time optimisation, or process window expansion, delivering real value whilst getting the chance to coach other aspiring talent within the department allowing you to build on your coaching and mentoring skills

Alongside this structured development, you will also:

• Become involved in the resolution of high‑profile fabrication incidents using structured methodologies such as Six Sigma, 8D and Kepner‑Tregoe
• Plan, execute and analyse engineering trials across diffusion, assembly and life‑test processes
• Develop robust process modules and produce clear, accurate documentation
• Drive experimental design, risk analysis and feasibility studies for new technologies
• Build strong cross‑functional relationships with equipment, yield, design and operations teams

What you will need

Essential Qualifications (All Accepted Pathways)

• Semiconductor or Microelectronics Engineering
• Electrical or Electronic Engineering with a focus on microelectronics, semiconductor devices or solid‑state electronics
• Materials Science & Engineering with a strong foundation in materials, thin films, defects, and
• Physics with emphasis on solid‑state physics, microelectronics, semiconductor devices or cleanroom‑based experimental work
• Chemical Engineering where modules or research relate to etch/deposition chemistry, reaction engineering or process control
• Related engineering disciplines (e.g., Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial) where you have completed semiconductor‑relevant electives, research projects or cleanroom experience

Essential requirements:

• An understanding of semiconductor processing methods, ideally with 'hands‑on' experience of some aspects semiconductor processing within a university or industrial cleanroom environment
• Understanding of semiconductor device principles and how electrical characteristics relate to fabrication process variables
• Strong data analysis capability
• Ability to summarise and communicate complex technical findings clearly to engineering colleagues, enabling effective decision‑making and corrective actions
• Ability to work onsite at Nexperia Manchester, Monday-Friday 37.5hrs per week, with the flexibility longer term to work a shift pattern including two weeks of days and 1 week of nights (12 hours) which includes a 42% shift premium pay

Desirable experience:

• Understanding of electrical test principles used for Power MOSFET products
• Knowledge of silicon substrate and epitaxy requirements for high‑performance, high‑efficiency power semiconductor devices
