Process Engineer

Description

The Process Integration Engineer is responsible for developing production ready, repeatable, high yielding processes for state-of-the-art highly specialized devices in the fields of high-speed communications. A successful candidate must possess extensive hands-on knowledge of dielectric deposition, metal deposition, CMP, dry-etch, wet-etch and photolithography. The perfect candidate can analyze all process systems and implement effective changes to enhance production. This is an opportunity to work with a highly motivated, high performance technical team on highly differentiated, disruptive technologies.

Essential Responsibilities

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential responsibilities.

• Develop and execute integration plans and schedules with established manufacturing tools and processes.
• Strong understanding of all major process modules (etch, films, litho, etc.) and understand their interactions in an integrated process flow. 
• Correlate output device parameters to inline factory measurements, metrics and processes. Provide reports and data-driven proposals for process changes or performance improvement projects. 
• Work closely with Operation and Process Engineering Development organizations. 
• Actively drive partners to meet milestones and resolve technical roadblocks. 
• Analyze metrology results and disposition lots based on data and pass/fail criteria.
