Job description

Production Engineer II - Process

The position will be part of the Corvallis Production Engineering Team. They will support High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) systems, including both 55-gallon and 360-gallon filtration systems, as well as their principal auxiliary systems. They will be responsible for owning and improving standard production processes and developing new production processes according to internal and customer demand. They will document procedures, own process data charts, investigate and resolve excursion events, and generally move HVM production forward to meet the company’s goals. This role involves collaborating across multiple functional groups, independently managing competing priorities, exercising sound engineering judgment, and driving manufacturing improvements that require coordination across teams.

• Own production processes for frequent, repeatable EUV photoresist batches on our HVM systems for worldwide customer delivery.
• Maintain flexibility to support and streamline standard and non-standard formulation production runs.
• Perform hands‑on analytical measurements of in‑process samples and other simple wet‑bench chemistry, including use of laboratory fume hoods and inert gloveboxes.
• Communicate and engage with a diverse team of chemists, engineers, and technicians.
• Document data and ensure data integrity, demonstrating good quality control metrics.
• Independently analyze production data using statistical control methods, determine appropriate corrective actions, prioritize response activities, and lead implementation with affected stakeholders.
• Create and update controlled documentation of each process step.
• Improve data tracking protocols, including quality control metrics.
• Lead qualification of manufacturing changes by coordinating activities across Operations, Quality, Equipment Engineering, and other functional teams.
• Use quality management systems to escape process deviations to material review board.
• Develop and update process and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID) and work with equipment engineers to ensure capital projects fulfill Inpria's scale-up needs.
• Establish Theory of Operation based on P&ID and work with engineering to implement controls.
• Develop control plans to enable programmable control of equipment.
• Create and modify equipment with logic controllers and enable recipe control through control systems.
• Coordinate and engage in engineering efforts to develop and modify equipment to enable experiments or batch production.
• Independently prioritize engineering activities to balance production support, process improvements, and project commitments.

• Work in cleanroom environments and practice clean handling procedures to minimize contamination.
• Provide evening, overnight, and/or weekend engineering support, pending business needs.
• Other duties as assigned.

Key Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Chemistry, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
