About The Position

SkyWater is seeking a Staff Integration Engineer for its Advanced Technology Services (ATS) group. The ATS team partners with customers to develop customized emerging technologies, including superconducting ICs, quantum computing devices, carbon nanotube devices, MEMS, biosensors, DNA sequencing devices, silicon photonics, and III-V devices. The role leads development of novel technologies, using the semiconductor fab’s capabilities to help customers progress from idea or proof of concept through product qualification and transfer to volume manufacturing. The position involves developing wafer-manufacturing process flows, coordinating with CAD, process, tool, and failure-analysis teams, and working directly with customers as material moves through production. The engineer designs and conducts experiments to validate and optimize process recipes and delivers process reviews to support transition to full-scale production. Applicants must be U.S. Persons as defined by ITAR. The annual salary range is $95,200–$142,800; pay depends on job-related experience, skills, education, and credentials.

Requirements

Bachelor’s, master’s, or Ph.D. in electrical engineering, materials science, chemical engineering, physics, or a related discipline.
