Process Engineer III – (E3)
About The Position
Applied Materials is seeking a Process Engineer to join a process development team working on next-generation thin-film deposition and surface treatment for advanced logic interconnect. The position owns process development on 300 mm chambers and partners with hardware engineering teams to take new technology from feasibility through qualified process. The engineer designs and optimizes manufacturing processes for display and semiconductor technologies, collects and analyzes data, performs hardware characterization, troubleshoots engineering issues, measures film properties, generates technical documentation, and engages with customers to resolve concerns. The role also involves collaborating with vendors and suppliers and implementing new technologies and products. The engineer will work with R&D teams on research and development projects.

- Conceptual and practical expertise in complex problem solving.
- Hands-on experience in semiconductor thin-film deposition or plasma processing.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Responsibilities
- Own experiments end to end, including design of experiments, wafer runs, metrology, analysis, and recommendations.
- Develop and optimize deposition and plasma-based processes to meet film performance, integration, and reliability targets.
- Characterize films using standard thin-film metrology and analytical techniques, and relate process conditions to film properties.
- Partner with mechanical, electrical, and RF engineering teams on hardware requirements, test plans, and design reviews.
- Support new hardware bring-up, qualification, and chamber troubleshooting using data-driven root-cause analysis.
- Plan and run multiple experiment tracks in parallel to make efficient use of tool time.
- Communicate results to cross-functional teams and management, and independently drive work with partner groups.
