Senior Process Development Engineer

Senior Process Development Engineer

At RiseTech, we’re building the next generation of semiconductor manufacturing tools, powered by our proprietary deposition technology.

Our mission: unlock new architectures, devices, and manufacturing possibilities for the semiconductor industry through precision engineering, advanced process control, and smart materials.

The Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Process Development Engineer to join our growing technical team and drive experimental process development around our proprietary deposition systems.

You’ll design experiments, prototype, optimize, and help scale a technology that sits at the intersection of microfabrication, electrochemistry, material science and additive manufacturing.

What You’ll Do

• Design, execute, and analyze DoE-based experiments to optimize microfabrication parameters.
• Work closely with our Head of Production and R&D team to translate concepts into manufacturable processes.
• Supervise and mentor lab technicians and interns in daily operations.
• Operate and coordinate maintenance of 3D printers, laser micromachining systems, and microfluidic setups in our in-house cleanroom facility.
• Develop SOPs and ensure lab safety and best practices.
• Troubleshoot process challenges and propose creative, data-driven solutions.
• Collaborate across mechanical, electronics, and process control teams for system integration.

What We’re Looking For

• MSc or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in R&D, process development, or prototyping (ideally in MEMS, microfabrication, or precision manufacturing).
• Experience with 3D printing, laser machining, or microfluidics.
• Strong experimental and analytical mindset.
• Proficiency with CAD and data analysis tools (SolidWorks, MATLAB, Python, etc.).
• Independent, proactive, and comfortable in a fast-paced lab environment.
• Fluent in English (Italian is a plus).

Why Join Us

You’ll get a chance to build a new semiconductor technology platform from the ground up.

At RiseTech, you’ll work hands-on with complex systems, see your ideas take physical form, and grow into a key technical leader as we scale.

If you love solving hard problems, working across disciplines, and pushing the limits of what’s possible in advanced manufacturing — we’d love to hear from you.
