• Experience in new tool validation is a plus.
• Proficiency in SPC and data analysis software is a plus.
• Strong understanding of DoE and FMEA methodologies.
• Familiarity with metrology tools used to measure glass thickness, surface roughness, and etch depth (e.g., profilometers, ellipsometers, microscopes).

Responsibilities

• Lead the development, qualification, and continuous improvement on newly purchased tools at FAB-2.
• Contribute to prototypes production in FAB-2 or other external facilities using lithography, metal deposition, encapsulation and other microfabrication techniques.
• Monitor process performance using SPC. Identify root causes of defects and implement robust corrective actions.
• Partner with equipment and chemical vendors to optimize parameters to develop the best possible performance.
• Characterize new glass materials and process parameters through DoE to improve process windows and reduce cycle times.
• Maintain strict adherence to environmental and safety protocols, including handling and disposal of hazardous etching chemicals.
