• Optimise processes to reduce cost, variability and improve process capability
• Work with process integration and process development teams to create new solutions
• Run root cause and failure mode analyses and drive vendors toward solutions
• Carry out fundamental research for next-generation products
• Maintain a technology development pilot manufacturing line
• Support process transfer to production facilities (some domestic and/or international travel may be required)

Required profile

• Aptitude for a research and development environment
• Analytical and creative problem solving, with root-cause or model-based troubleshooting
• Ability to work independently and multi-task across several projects
• Minimum education: a Master's or PhD in Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Materials, Physics, Chemical Physics, Chemistry or Semiconductor Engineering, or a Bachelor's degree in a related field with 3 years of relevant experience

Required skills

• Working knowledge of statistics, preferably statistical process control
• Basic academic knowledge of thermodynamics, transport phenomena, dry etch processing, kinetic theory or basic plasma physics
• Data science basics, Python coding or scripting (desirable)
• Strong computer skills, including MS Office
