• Mentor and guide junior researchers/engineers by setting execution standards and ensuring reproducibility.

Requirements

• PhD degree with at least 3 years of related experience, or a Master’s degree with over 5 years of related experience
• Strong expertise in electrochemical analysis, materials characterization, and experimental design and optimization
• Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, supervise engineering execution, and deliver outcomes under timelines
• Demonstrated ability to translate research outcomes into practical deliverables such as product specifications, validation plans, and development roadmaps
• Strong project management and cross-functional coordination capability
• Excellent communication, documentation, and leadership skills
• Experience in semiconductor materials, electroplating, nanomaterials, or advanced manufacturing environments
• Familiarity with advanced packaging and interconnect topics (for example, copper electroplating, copper-to-copper bonding, redistribution layer, through-glass via, through-silicon via, copper foils)
• Exposure to customer validation, scale-up, qualification, or market strategy and product management activities
