Job Summary:
An exciting opportunity exists at Raytheon for a Senior Principal Microelectronics Product Engineer to join our process development and integration engineering team within the Advanced Microelectronics Solutions (AMS) Department. The successful candidate would lead the department's product and process integration activities related to our GaAs PHEMT process technologies.
The role of microelectronics product engineer has responsibility for the successful processing of compound semiconductor wafers to produce integrated circuits with performance, yield, and cost meeting the needs of internal, DoD, or external customers. The ideal candidate will have intimate knowledge of the performance requirements of microelectronics products, how they are modeled and designed to function within the process technology, and the fundamental device physics driving their performance. They will identify opportunities and lead initiatives to improve product yields and reduce performance variation of integrated circuits. In addition, the successful candidate will successfully engage the customer community (both internal and external) to help craft long-term improvements to support next-generation customer applications.
What You Will Do:
* Process flow construction in the Manufacturing Execution System
* Review of product performance data trends and relationships to processing history
* Lead failure investigations of performance and yield drivers
* Establish the relationships between physical process/tool outputs and device/product performance and yield
* Team with materials, process, equipment, design, and layout engineering teams to solve a wide array of technical problems
* Interface with the customer or next-higher integration communities -- both to support field returns or the qualification of new products in production or emerging technologies
* This 1st shift role will be 100% on-site and based in Andover, MA.
Qualifications You Must Have:
* Typically requires a Bachelor's Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience, or an advanced degree in a related field and minimum 7 years' experience in Engineering/other technical positions
