Process Engineer

Science Corporation is seeking a Process Engineer to drive the transition of MEMS products from development into production. The position is responsible for the introduction of new products and technologies into manufacturing, with ownership of process flows, product control plans, in-line parametric test and all related process integration issues. The ideal candidate should have a BS in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field, plus 5 to 10 years experience in semiconductor process or device engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

• Reviews and understands process integration for products in development approaching Pre-Production. 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 deliverable, as well as multiple process experiments for process optimization.
• Generates Product Control Plans, evaluating the risk at each process step.
• Reviews proposed process and equipment changes to identify risk to product.
• Consults with Process Engineering on abnormal lot disposition, making judgments as to product impact.
• Develops in-line electrical and mechanical parametric test structures and methods.

• Ability to manage complex projects and associated resources.
• Conduct independent technical investigations of complex process integration and device issues, determine root cause and implement corrective actions.
• Strong technical understanding of several different process areas.
• Solid interpersonal and communications skills and ability to interface effectively with customers.
• BS in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field, plus 5 to 10 years experience in semiconductor process or device engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Previous experience with process integration and parametric test methods is preferred.
• Knowledge of a broad range of process technologies (plasma etch, photolithography, diffusion, metalization, etc.) is required.
