- Develop, transfer, and optimize process recipes across platforms, focusing on consistency, yield, and throughput.
- Analyze process data, troubleshoot recipe or equipment issues, and clearly document findings and results.
Requirements
- Pursuing a bachelor's degree or higher in engineering.
- Ability to learn quickly and troubleshoot technical problems.
- Hands-on experience with wafer fabrication tools, including etch, deposition, patterning, and metrology tools such as AFM, SEM, and thin-film measurement systems.
- Recipe development and optimization experience in thin-film deposition, dry etch, or lithography.
- Strong foundation in semiconductor devices and fabrication.
- Hands-on cleanroom experience and a track record of developing nanofabrication recipes from scratch.
Nice-to-haves
- Familiarity with data processing in Python.
- Mechanical or maintenance experience with fabrication tools.
Compensation and Benefits
- Hourly pay equivalent to an annualized range of $108,000–$126,000, depending on experience and education; actual earnings vary with hours worked.
- Housing stipend, daily lunches, dinners three times per week, stocked office kitchen, learning and development opportunities, commuter benefits, paid time off, visa sponsorship, medical, dental and vision insurance, 401(k), and life and disability insurance.
