Key Responsibilities

- Spearhead the design and microfabrication of novel semiconductor devices and integrated circuits (ICs), translating theoretical models into tangible, high-performance components.

- Develop, optimize, and sustain critical fabrication processes—including advanced photolithography, thin-film deposition (PVD, CVD, ALD), and plasma etching techniques.

- Execute complex process flows within a state-of-the-art cleanroom facility, ensuring strict adherence to contamination control protocols and safety standards.

- Conduct comprehensive material and device characterization using a suite of advanced metrology tools, such as SEM/TEM, AFM, and parametric analyzers.

- Design and rigorously test integrated circuits, investigating process variations, defects, and their impact on device performance and overall yield.

- Utilize TCAD simulators to model and predict device physics, informing process development and reducing iterative cycles.

- Research and evaluate novel materials and device architectures to drive innovation and secure a competitive technological edge.

- Create, document, and refine detailed process flows and standard operating procedures for new and existing manufacturing technologies.

Core Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a closely related field is required. A Master's or PhD is highly preferred.

- A minimum of 5 years of direct, hands-on experience in a semiconductor fabrication environment (a fab or R&D lab).

- Demonstrated expertise in core semiconductor processes: lithography, etch, thin-film deposition, and CMP.

- Proficiency with TCAD simulation tools (e.g., Silvaco, Synopsys Sentaurus) and IC layout editors (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Tanner L-Edit).

- Hands-on experience with device characterization and failure analysis using tools like wafer probers, SEM, TEM, and AFM.

- A solid theoretical foundation in semiconductor physics, material science, and cleanroom protocols.

Desired Attributes

- Proven ability to lead process integration efforts and troubleshoot complex yield-related issues.

- Experience with statistical analysis and design of experiments (DOE), utilizing software such as JMP or similar tools.

- A track record of innovation... perhaps demonstrated through publications or patents.

- Exceptional problem-solving skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a highly collaborative, cross-functional team.
