Full Job Posting

Own deposition processes for dielectric, metal and barrier/liner films (e.g., SiN, Ti, TaN, TiW, Cu seed) on PVD or PECVD platforms.
Develop and optimize recipes for thickness, uniformity, stress, refractive index, step coverage, resistivity, composition and defectivity.
Run designed experiments (DOE) and use statistical methods to characterize process windows and set robust specs.
Sustain high-volume production: monitor SPC charts, respond to out-of-control events, disposition material and drive corrective actions.
Lead root-cause investigations into yield, reliability and defect excursions using 8D, FMEA and fishbone methods.
Qualify new tools, chambers, chemistries, targets and precursors, including chamber matching and fleet transfers.
Partner with equipment engineering on preventive maintenance, chamber seasoning and uptime improvement.
Support technology transfer of new nodes and device structures from R&D into manufacturing.
Drive cost reduction through consumable life extension, throughput gains and precursor or gas usage optimization.
Write and maintain process specs, control plans, OCAPs and change-control documentation.
Work with suppliers on hardware, materials and process issues; present results to cross-functional teams and management.
Own yield for assigned products or technologies, tracking line, die and final test yield against targets.
Run split lots and DOEs to verify fixes and quantify yield gain.

Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics or Chemistry
Hands-on process experience with PVD and/or PECVD in a wafer fab or advanced R&D cleanroom
Working knowledge of vacuum systems, plasma physics, gas-phase and surface chemistry, and film growth mechanisms.
Strong statistical analysis skills, including SPC, DOE, hypothesis testing and regression.
Proven structured problem solving, such as 8D or 5 why’s
Clear communication of technical findings to engineers and management.
Must be a US citizen

Background in new product introduction (NPI) or technology ramp to high volume.
Machine learning or advanced analytics applied to manufacturing data.
Hands-on experience analyzing large manufacturing datasets with JMP, SQL, Python or similar tools.
Background in metallization and interconnect (barrier/seed, Cu, Co, Ru) or back-end-of-line processes and integration.
