About The Position

Qorvo is seeking a Lithography Team Process Development Engineer to develop, optimize, and sustain lithography processes used for device fabrication at their semiconductor fabrication facility. This role primarily supports photolithography processes and tools for resist coat, expose, develop, and associated metrology, involving a broad range of litho toolsets for 1x, i-line, and ebeam processes. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams in Process Engineering, Equipment Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Integration, and R&D to ensure process stability, improve yield, and drive continuous improvement initiatives. The position requires working a Monday-Friday 8am-5pm schedule and significant time in a cleanroom environment, with some lifting and standing required.

Requirements

• BS in Engineering, Materials, Statistics or physical sciences or equivalent.
• Minimum of 5 years of wafer fab semiconductor photolithography process engineering experience, with demonstrated success in process development, process control, DOE execution, yield improvement, and root-cause analysis.
• Hands-on experience with ASML steppers/scanners and TEL track systems, including process qualification, optimization, matching, and troubleshooting.
• Proven track record of driving measurable improvements in yield, defectivity, overlay, critical dimension control, and overall process performance.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and provide technical leadership in a fast-paced, 24/7 manufacturing environment.
• Proven ability to leverage large manufacturing datasets using SQL, Oracle, Spotfire, Access, JMP, or equivalent tools to identify process trends, drive yield improvements, and resolve complex manufacturing issues.

Nice To Haves

• MS or PhD preferred
• 3 years or more of experience if MS
