Role Overview

GaN HEMT R&D Process Development Engineer, Senior

Summary

In order to expand the GaN HEMT technology offerings, MACOM’s Advanced Semiconductor Technology group is looking to hire a Process Development Engineer with focus on Thin Film, Etch, Lithography and Process Integration. The engineer will have a solid understanding of semiconductor processing and he/she will be able to develop novel processes that will advance MACOM’s GaN HEMT technology. We are looking for a technically creative person, highly motivated individual, who is excited to work in a dynamic environment.

Key Responsibilities

• The candidate will own a range of GaN HEMT R&D projects in the fab, develop various unit processes focused on etch, thin films, lithography, metrology and oversee engineering lot fabrication.
• Will work closely with engineers that own other processing areas, including photolithography, wet processing, implantation, backend processing, test and assembly.
• Will schedule, launch and disposition wafer fabrication lots in the Fab to meet specific development schedules and drive projects aimed at bringing new products into production.
• Interface with fabrication engineers, program managers, circuit designers, reliability engineers, and other R&D engineers. While this activity will require coordination with Fab Operations as part of the New Technology Development (NTD) process, the execution of the experimental plan will be undertaken by this engineer, so hands on process development is essential.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or equivalent
• Should have previously demonstrated organization skills, the ability to multi-task and set priorities to meet goals in a fast-paced environment.
