Fab Process Engineer

HP•Corvallis, OR

2d•$93,400 - $143,800•Onsite

About The Position

The process engineer is a team member of the MEMS organization and is responsible for sustaining the existing generation of technology, leading and supporting the transition of products and manufacturing processes from prototype to full production, and for developing new processes in support of new product or technology development. The process engineer is responsible for employing equipment technology, process technology and problem-solving methodologies to improve manufacturing performance, decrease proto cycles of learning, and enable the development of next-generation technology. The process engineer is the technical leader of their respective workcenter, and is expected to partner with world-wide workcenter counterparts, Operations, Integration Engineering and Product Engineering. The process engineer specifies tooling and equipment that is necessary for workcenter Assurance of Supply and throughput requirements and uses the organization's capital expenditure process to purchase the tooling. The process engineer also takes an active role in the MEMS quality system.
