Job description

Salary Range

Salary range for position: $135,000 - $165,000, commensurate with experience.

Position Summary

Develop and improve wafer fab MEMS processes. Own tools and processes run on them, minimizing yield loss and maximizing process performance. Provide production support engineering for a specific product or group of products (inkjet print heads) during and after transfer from design to production. Sustain products with cost reduction and yield improvement efforts. Interface with other engineers to solve technical problems. Work closely with R&D and manufacturing engineering to qualify new tools and processes for volume production.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Develop and improve wafer fab processes working on a variety of MEMS process engineering disciplines (Photolithography, Wet Etch, Thin Films, Sputtering, PECVD, Laser Dice, Ash and Wet Strip, Bond, CMP, Dry Film, AOI, Automation Systems, FDC ...)
• Use and run wafer metrology tools to analyze problems, failures and other technical issues.
• Use good problem solving and project management skills to solve the wide array of technical product problems.
• Communicate especially well and motivate others outside and inside the department to resolve problems and accomplish work through various company resources.
• Organize technical problem solving strategies clearly and present them effectively to all concerned parties.
• Use statistical process control (SPC), design of experiments (DoE), and yield data to help resolve or correct all identified problems.

Supervisory Responsibilities

None

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Material Science, Chemistry, or Physics with a minimum of 8 years relevant experience. Experience should include process and design engineering work in a MEMS wafer fab.
• Must have related experience in semiconductor, MEMS manufacturing.
• Ability to find root causes of wafer fab problems.
• Excellent problem identification and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to apply advanced mathematical concepts (exponents, logarithms, quadratic equations, permutations).
• Ability to apply mathematical operations to such tasks as frequency distribution, determination of test reliability and validity, analysis of variance, correlation techniques, sampling theory, and factor analysis.
• Ability to respond to common inquiries or complaints from internal resources and customers.
• Ability to carry out data analysis using JMP, Minitab. Green or Black Belt preferred.
• Must have excellent written, verbal and presentation skills, in order to effectively present information to subordinates, customers and management.

Physical Demands

• Standing, walking, using hands to finger, handle or feel, and talk or hear under one-third of the time.
• Sitting one-third to two-thirds of the time.

Work Environment

• Works in wafer fabrication and clean room environment.
• Exposure to moderate noise levels.
• May potentially handle hazardous waste in accordance with the safe work practices defined in Hazardous Communication and Hazardous Waste training programs.
