Job Summary
Under the general supervision of the Process Engineering Manager, coordinates and directs engineering, sustaining, and continuous improvement activities (output, yield, cost reduction) focused on front end dry etch. Defines processing and/or equipment requirements and specifications, and reviews processing techniques and methods applied in the manufacture, fabrication, and evaluation of III-V infrared sensors.
The selected candidate will work with a team of technicians, maintenance/equipment personnel, operations management, development and yield engineering.
A strong understanding of infrared detector processes and materials is desirable, specifically involving dry etch, along w/ appropriate metrology techniques.
Looking for candidates who exhibit self-driven sense of urgency, effective collaboration, tolerance of ambiguity, and demonstrated ability to exercise objective technical judgement.
Detailed Description:

• Strong hands familiarity w/ both process and equipment (advanced troubleshooting and RC/CA) involving dry etch (ICP/RIE), ancillary processes (dielectric deposition, including ALD & PECVD), in situ metrology.
  • Strong preference experience w/ PlasmaTherm Versaline toolsets, including critical subsystems (gas delivery, vacuum pumps & valves, electrodes, etc.)
• Proven ability of tying theoretical principles (ab initio) to functional process & equipment improvements in support of production & development roadmaps.
• Provide sustaining & development engineering support and continuous yield improvement in cleanroom or controlled environment.
• Design, execute, and status production and development experiments. Present technical findings to key technical and non-technical stakeholders. Formal DOE creation, execution, and analysis is a plus.
