BEOL Optical Process Engineer — Data-Driven Yield

Applied Materials, Inc.; Singapore; On-site; SGD 60,000 - 100,000; Full time

Job summary

Applied Materials in Singapore is seeking a skilled Process Engineer to develop and optimize BEOL optical processes in a high-volume semiconductor manufacturing environment. You will design experiments, collect data, and collaborate with process module engineers to improve yield and reliability.

This role requires hands-on experimentation, analytical thinking, and the ability to translate technical insights into practical solutions; travel and relocation considerations apply.

Qualifications

• Experience in BEOL optics or semiconductor fabrication preferred.
• Demonstrates depth and/or breadth of expertise in own specialized discipline or field.

Responsibilities

• Active participation in the development, optimization, and qualification of BEOL Optical processes to meet performance, yield, and reliability requirements.
• Partner with process module engineers (e.g., etch, deposition, lithography) to improve device and yield performance in high-volume manufacturing.
• Work with cross-functional teams including end customers, FEOL/BEOL Integration, Device, Defect Reduction, Reliability, Quality, and external customers to support milestones and resolve technical queries.
• Design, execute, and analyze results from Design of Experiments (DOE) to solve complex process engineering issues, perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and implement mitigation plans for yield or performance problems.
• Design, collect data, analyze and compile reports on a wide range of complex process engineering experiments for multiple products, within safety guidelines
• Utilize techniques to characterize hardware, define methods and apply new technologies to characterize hardware, and/or perform hardware characterization on a wide range of complex systems for multiple products, within safety guidelines
