About The Position

The Development Engineering Senior Technician supports semiconductor technology development in a fast-paced foundry environment. The role helps execute engineering experiments, troubleshoot material issues, and support technology development programs that contribute to customer and internal R&D success. The technician works with Development Engineers and engineering teams to keep experiments on schedule, evaluate non-conforming material, and support technology validation and process learning. The position provides exposure to more than 100 semiconductor toolsets and process areas including Photolithography, Etch, Thin Films, CMP, and Implant/RTA. The technician also creates and improves technical documentation, supports continuous improvement, and takes on increasing responsibility as their technical knowledge develops. The position requires working A Shift: Sunday through Tuesday and every other Wednesday, 6:00 AM–6:15 PM. U.S. citizenship is required because the position requires holding or being able to obtain a government security clearance.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of technician experience in a semiconductor fab or similar cleanroom/manufacturing environment, or a four-year college degree.
• Basic understanding of semiconductor processing in at least one of these areas: Photolithography, Etch, Thin Films, CMP, or Implant/RTA.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools.
• Ability to work A Shift: Sunday through Tuesday and every other Wednesday, 6:00 AM–6:15 PM.
• U.S. citizenship; the position requires holding or being able to obtain a government security clearance.

• Experience writing or updating engineering specifications, RSC documents, or work instructions.
• Familiarity with Statistical Process Control (SPC) and/or basic data analysis.

Responsibilities

• Communicate with Development Engineers during days and weekends when ATS material requires attention, helping keep experiments and development activities on schedule.
• Assist engineering teams with evaluation and disposition of non-conforming material to maintain development flow and minimize delays.
• Run standard and advanced experiments through the ATS Technician Request system.
• Support technology validation, process learning, and customer development programs through experiment execution.
• Develop proficiency across more than 100 semiconductor toolsets and gain cross-functional exposure to Photolithography, Etch, Thin Films, CMP, Implant/RTA, and other process areas.
• Draft and refine work instructions, process flows, and metrology recipes to improve repeatability, execution quality, and experimental success.
• Identify opportunities to reduce waste, improve efficiency, and enhance process quality in collaboration with operations and engineering teams.
• Take on increasing responsibility and perform tasks with greater autonomy as technical knowledge and confidence develop.
• Perform other duties as needed to support ATS engineering and development priorities.
