About The Position

An exciting opportunity exists for experienced semiconductor processing engineers to join the III-V foundry team at the RF Microelectronics/Module Development & Foundry Services department at Raytheon in Andover, MA. This department develops, designs, and manufactures compound semiconductor devices, microwave/millimeter-wave integrated circuits, and modules for defense applications. The ideal candidates for these roles will have a broad understanding of semiconductor tools, processing techniques and microelectronic circuit testing. The successful candidates will support and execute process development efforts, assist in process sustainment, improve product yield, develop new processes and device capabilities, and assist in the creation of new technology discriminators in a III-V semiconductor wafer foundry. They may also develop proof of concept demonstrations of novel semiconductor processes, identify yield and process improvement opportunities, gather sponsorship and team resources, and execute on continuous improvement activities. Presence on the foundry floor is essential. RTX, the world's largest aerospace and defense company, is expanding its engineering organization dramatically to meet exciting customer demand.

Requirements

Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years experience.
Experience in semiconductor processing techniques such as photolithography, dielectric deposition, metals evaporation, etch processes and/or optical or scanning electron microscope inspections.
The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required.
U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance
Active and existing security clearance required after day 1 (DoD Clearance: Secret)

Nice To Haves

Experience with statistical analysis software (JMP, Minitab, R, SPSS, MATLAB, etc)
Experience with characterizing, understanding, and improving semiconductor device performance and reliability.
Experience in statistical process control (SPC)
Broad knowledge related to semiconductor processing, device physics, and data analysis
Experience troubleshooting a wide range of fabrication equipment, in addition to establishing equipment qualification and preventative maintenance procedures
Experience with GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) and GaN (Gallium Nitride)
Experience in a data analysis software packages (e.g. MATLAB, Python, SQL, JMP)
Excellent communication skills to effectively transfer ideas
