Microfabrication Engineer: Thin Film Electrodes

Science is seeking a motivated Microfabrication Engineer to work primarily on their thin film electrode (TFE) fabrication process. The engineer will be responsible for introducing new TFE products and technologies into manufacturing, as well as evaluating the manufacturability of existing products and driving yield, cycle time, and cost improvement activities. The ideal candidate should have a strong technical understanding of various process areas, the ability to manage complex projects at a fast pace, and excellent interpersonal and communication skills. A BS in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field, along with 5 to 10 years of experience in semiconductor process or device engineering, is required.

• Reviews and understands process integration for products in development and judges the risk to the product from potential non-repeatable or marginal process issues.
• Generates and maintains process flow travelers for pre-production and production parts.
• Starts and manages pre-production lots through wafer fab. These lots typically have critical schedules for customer deliverables, as well as multiple process experiments for process optimization.
• Reviews proposed process and equipment changes to identify risk to product.
• Develops in-line electrical and mechanical test structures and methods.
• Ability to manage complex projects and associated resources at a fast pace.
• Conduct independent technical investigations of complex process integration and device issues, determine root cause and implement corrective actions.
