Responsibilities

The candidate will own a range of GaN HEMT R&D projects in the fab, develop various unit processes focused on etch, thin films, lithography, metrology and oversee engineering lot fabrication.
Will work closely with engineers that own other processing areas, including photolithography, wet processing, implantation, backend processing, test and assembly.
Will schedule, launch and disposition wafer fabrication lots in the Fab to meet specific development schedules and drive projects aimed at bringing new products into production.
Interface with fabrication engineers, program managers, circuit designers, reliability engineers, and other R&D engineers. While this activity will require coordination with Fab Operations as part of the New Technology Development (NTD) process, the execution of the experimental plan will be undertaken by this engineer, so hands on process development is essential.
