Microelectronics Process Technician Senior
About The Position
Operate, monitor, and maintain thin film and thick film manufacturing equipment in support of production, engineering, and development activities. Perform thin film deposition processes including sputtering, PVD, and related vacuum-based coating technologies. Perform photolithography, etching, and related wafer fabrication processes. Execute thick film processes including screen printing, drying, firing, curing, and inspection of hybrid microelectronic circuits and assemblies. Set up, qualify, and optimize manufacturing processes to meet product quality, yield, and throughput requirements. Monitor critical process parameters and identify deviations affecting film thickness, adhesion, conductivity, resistance, line resolution, and overall product performance. Conduct metrology and inspection activities including profilometry, sheet resistance measurements, optical microscopy, dimensional measurements, and visual inspections. Assist engineers in process characterization, capability studies, Design of Experiments (DOE), and process improvement initiatives. Collect, analyze, and document manufacturing data to support yield improvement, root cause investigations, and corrective actions. Support New Product Introduction (NPI), process transfers, prototype builds, and product qualification efforts. Interpret process specifications, drawings, travelers, work instructions, and manufacturing documentation. Identify opportunities to improve equipment uptime, process capability, product yield, and operational efficiency. Maintain cleanroom and contamination-control standards throughout manufacturing operations. Communicate equipment, process, and product concerns through established escalation channels. Support Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, 5S, and continuous improvement programs. Ensure compliance with ESD, chemical safety, environmental, quality, and regulatory requirements. Maintain accurate production records, maintenance logs, and process documentation within manufacturing systems.
