About The Role

As a Senior Thin-Film Process Engineer, you will develop, optimize, and sustain semiconductor manufacturing processes, with a focus on thin-film deposition. You will help improve product quality, manufacturing yield, productivity, and cost performance while managing process risk. Working closely with equipment, integration, manufacturing, and materials teams, you will investigate process issues, qualify changes, and ensure stable, high-quality output. You will also monitor process health and develop proactive plans to address bottlenecks that could affect fab cycle time or production turns.

Qualifications

Employer will accept a master’s degree in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field, plus five years of experience in the job offered or a related occupation.

Position Requires Experience Or Knowledge In The Following Areas

• CVD, ALD, or PVD thin-film deposition, including process qualification, fab-to-fab transfer, and tool-to-tool matching.
• DRAM semiconductor fabrication and process integration, including understanding downstream process interactions.
• Advanced data analysis using JMP or Python, and process control using SPC and FDC systems.
• Applying physics, chemistry, and mathematical principles to analyze deposition processes.
• Design of Experiments (DOE) for multivariable process optimization across multichamber systems.
• Defect analysis and corrective and preventive actions to improve manufacturing yield.

Responsibilities

• Create, develop, and optimize process solutions that improve product quality, yield, productivity, and cost while reducing manufacturing risk.
• Identify, diagnose, and resolve process-related problems using appropriate analytical methods, including failure analysis, FMEA, 8D, SPC, and FDC.
• Coordinate and conduct process, equipment, and material evaluations; assess results and implement approved improvements at the process step.
• Lead or participate in yield-improvement and cost-optimization activities, using data-driven analysis to identify opportunities and verify outcomes.
• Manage new process baseline qualifications and support process transfers and matching activities to establish stable, repeatable manufacturing performance.
• Collaborate with, manage, and audit material suppliers to advance quality, cost, and risk-mitigation objectives.
• Monitor assigned process health, maintain high-quality output, and develop redundancy plans for potential bottlenecks affecting fab cycle time or production turns.
• Communicate findings, risks, and recommendations clearly to cross-functional partners and support effective implementation of process changes.
