• Connect with corporate EHSS and site Process Hazard Analysis engineers to ensure process safety requirements are met.
• Work with strategic suppliers to ensure priorities are aligned to operations objectives and area(s) strategy/roadmap.
• Engage externally with Suppliers and/or industry consultants to collect benchmarking data/knowledge
• Develop sophisticated models for unit process and module level control/road mapping.
• Maintain and develop expertise in multiple process, hardware, or technology areas.
• Support module, process and hardware optimization for peers.
• Knowledge and/or passion in exploration/implementation and applying AI concepts/LLM/AI Agents into work is required.

Minimum Qualifications

• Min: Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field
• 5-7 + years Experienced trouble shooting, experimental design and data analysis skills
• Solid Understanding of hardware used for semiconductor processing
• 5- 7 + years proven experience in semiconductor manufacturing areas like Etch, Films, or Planarization
• Solid Understanding of process control, statistics for engineering, and Statistical Process Control (SPC).
• Solid Understanding of solid-state device physics and process integration.
• Solid Understanding of semiconductor metrology, defect analysis, probe and test methodologies

Preferred Qualifications

• Preferred: Master's Degree or PhD
• Experience and/or interest in developing Agentic AI workflows into current or future processes.
