The successful candidate will solve complex manufacturing problems, influence cross-functional decisions, and mentor engineers and technicians in support of safe, stable, and continuous operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Own assigned semiconductor process modules, layers, and equipment sets in a high-volume manufacturing environment, ensuring safe, stable, capable, and documented operations.
• Lead continuous-improvement initiatives that increase yield, process capability, equipment utilization, throughput, and cycle-time performance while reducing defects, variability, and manufacturing cost.
• Partner with Manufacturing, Equipment, Process Integration, Product, Quality, Facilities, and Development teams to achieve safety, quality, delivery, and cost objectives.
• Lead structured investigations of yield excursions, process deviations, equipment events, and reliability concerns using 8D, FMEA, 5-Why, fault-tree analysis, or equivalent methods; implement and verify sustainable corrective and preventive actions.
• Use statistical process control, design of experiments, process capability analysis, and data visualization to establish controls, optimize process windows, and identify systematic sources of variation.
• Develop, qualify, and transfer new processes, materials, equipment, and manufacturing capabilities from development into volume production, including risk assessment, acceptance criteria, control plans, and release documentation.
• Define and maintain process specifications, recipes, operating procedures, reaction plans, change controls, and troubleshooting guides; ensure consistent execution across shifts and engineering groups.
• Review process and equipment performance indicators, prioritize improvement opportunities, and lead initiatives that deliver measurable operational and financial impact.
• Mentor engineers, technicians, and manufacturing personnel through technical guidance, training, and knowledge sharing.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Microelectronics Engineering, or a related technical discipline; a master’s degree is preferred.
• 8+ or years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, MEMS or BiCMOS fabrication, process sustaining, integration or process development.
• Demonstrated ownership of one or more semiconductor process areas, such as thin-film deposition, epitaxy, ion implantation, diffusion.
• Strong knowledge of semiconductor process integration, equipment interactions, process controls, and high-volume manufacturing practices.
• Demonstrated success leading complex root-cause investigations and implementing durable corrective actions.
• Working knowledge of SPC, DOE, FMEA, process capability analysis, and data-driven decision-making.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and lead cross-functional technical efforts in a dynamic manufacturing environment.
• Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, including the ability to present complex technical information clearly to technical and nontechnical audiences.
• Proficiency with analytical and visualization tools such as JMP, Spotfire, Klarity ACE, or equivalent platforms.
