Process Engineering Intern

MACOM•Lowell, MA

About The Position

The Process Engineering Intern will support MACOM’s Zayna Wet Etch operations during a 12-week internship. Work will focus on chemical qualification for end-of-life chemistries and qualifying second vendors when manufacturer issues disrupt supply. The intern will also support new-tool startups, including establishing baselines, developing and optimizing processes, transferring processes from older tools, and implementing them in production. Additional project activities include training, documentation, and process monitoring after release. The position also supports daily sustaining of the Etch area, continuous improvement of existing processes and procedures, and development of processes for new products, product transfers, and new foundry capabilities. Sustaining and improvement work addresses quality, reliability, cost, yield, process stability and capability, productivity, and safety. Each intern receives an individual, well-defined project with outcome goals, hands-on experience, training, ongoing supervision, and formal written feedback. Interns are invited to attend a webinar series and networking and social events, and to present their project successes and pitfalls at a poster session. The hourly pay range is $20–$47; the actual offer depends on factors including work location, experience, education, knowledge, skills, and abilities. Due to ITAR regulations, applicants must be U.S. Persons as defined in the posting.
