Process Technician

Torramics Inc. • Stanford, CA

82d • $80,000 - $90,000 • Onsite

About The Position

We're hiring two Process Technicians to work alongside our Process Integration team. You'll be the hands in the cleanroom - moving wafers through routine process steps, preparing and operating tools, collecting measurements, and capturing the data that turns a world-first MEMS device from an idea into something real. If you take pride in precise, repeatable fab work, this is a rare seat to have.

Requirements

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in a semiconductor, photonics, MEMS, or comparable cleanroom / fab environment.
• Direct experience running process equipment in one or more core module areas such as thin films, lithography, etch, wet clean, MEMS release, or metrology.
• Strong documentation habits - you follow SOPs and travelers precisely and record data you can stand behind.
• Confidence working safely with process chemicals and equipment in a cleanroom environment.
• Sharp attention to detail, steady hands, and the discipline to run repeatable process steps consistently.
• Willingness and availability to work an assigned shift schedule and respond to tool or process issues during that shift.
• An associate degree in a technical field, equivalent military or technical training, or equivalent hands-on fab experience.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with MEMS or microfluidic devices.
• Hands-on time with specific tools - e.g., PECVD / sputter, DRIE / plasma etch, lithography track, wet benches, or SEM / optical metrology.
• Basic SPC, JMP, Minitab, or Excel for logging and charting process data.

Responsibilities

• Operate and support the tools required to build our MEMS device - including thin-film deposition, lithography, etch, wet clean, MEMS release, and metrology - moving wafers through standard process steps to SOPs and lot travelers.
• Carry out engineering split lots and DOE runs as designed, prepare equipment and wafers for processing, and record each step accurately so the integration team can trust the results.
• Perform go/no-go tool qualifications, routine setup, first-line troubleshooting, and timely escalation when a tool needs additional support.
• Collect and log process and metrology data accurately, and flag out-of-spec results or deviations as soon as they appear.
• Work shoulder to shoulder with process integration engineers, giving the team a clear first-hand view of what is happening on the cleanroom floor.
