You’ll partner across integration, equipment, and operations to deliver robust, scalable solutions that meet aggressive performance and yield goals.

Responsibilities

• Technically innovate: Drive strategic and tactical decisions at a project and platform level, contribute to feasibility studies, and proactively engage technical challenges before they become problems.
• Operational focus: Relate wafer performance to hardware performance and drive solutions to improve key film metrics such as uniformity, conformality, quality, selectivity, and electrical or optical performance.
• Impact results: Lead initiatives to ensure projects meet technical and operational requirements and program KPIs.
• Influence: Interact with and lead cross‑functional teams to influence technical and strategic decisions; build strong relationships with suppliers.
• Drive project roadmaps: Execute development and maturity timelines, deliver meaningful thin‑film improvements, and communicate status and plans with a focus on technical fundamentals and model‑based problem solving.

Minimum Qualifications

• Master’s degree with 2+ years of experience in Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field, OR PhD research with relevant industry experience.
• Hands‑on experience with thin‑film deposition and process troubleshooting.
• Working knowledge of ALD, epitaxy, or plasma‑based deposition fundamentals.
• Experience using data‑driven methods such as DOE, SPC, and basic materials characterization.
• Ability to work independently and clearly communicate technical results.

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in semiconductor thin‑film deposition or manufacturing.
• Experience applying AI, coding, automation, or data science in process development.
• Proven ability to deliver results through cross‑functional teamwork.
