About The Position

The Metals team at Samsung Austin Semiconductor is seeking a Process Engineer interested in collaborating and working alongside talented peers with key focus in maintaining and developing critical process parameters along with ability to identify complex problems and implementing solutions. The candidate must be able to draw conclusions based on statistical analysis and reported with appropriate graphical representations. Respond to critical fab events that require containment speed and quick resolution to ensure minimal impact to product. Generate reports (such as 8D) illustrating root cause of incidents, corrective actions and future preventative measures. Formulate ideas/experiments that can provide conclusions that will reveal a path forward for continuous improvement. Complete routine daily monitoring of processes/equipment performance and take action on trends that demonstrate abnormal behavior. Create and update SOPs to standardize process flows and improve working methods. Support cost reduction activities. The desired candidate will show a high degree of dedication to meeting deadlines while producing quality results. Must be able to adapt to changing business needs and demonstrate flexibility to change priorities as needed. Interface with equipment engineers, technicians, and manufacturing teams on a daily basis to set priority and update project status and/or impact.
