Responsibilities

Serve as the primary equipment owner for ALD and nitride dielectric deposition tools, including uptime, performance, and continuous improvement.
Develop and optimize ALD/nitride processes for thin-film uniformity, repeatability, step coverage, defect reduction, and device reliability.
Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis for tool performance issues, process drift, and cross-module interactions.
Partner with Manufacturing Operations, Process Engineering, and Quality to ensure stable production performance and rapid issue resolution.
Work with equipment vendors on upgrades, maintenance strategies, and installation of new hardware or capabilities.
Generate preventative maintenance plans, equipment health monitoring metrics, and tool documentation.
Support factory capacity planning, cycle-time reduction initiatives, and yield improvements.
Execute experiments using DOE methodology and provide clear data analysis and reporting.
Ensure all equipment meets safety, facilities, and compliance requirements
