About The Position

Analog Devices is seeking a Staff Process Engineer to provide technical leadership for high-volume semiconductor manufacturing at its Wilmington, Massachusetts site. As a senior individual contributor, this role owns critical processes and equipment across BiCMOS, silicon photonics, and MEMS technologies; improves safety, quality, yield, throughput, cycle time, reliability, and cost; and supports the introduction and transfer of new process capabilities. The successful candidate will solve complex manufacturing problems, influence cross-functional decisions, and mentor engineers and technicians in support of safe, stable, and continuous operations.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Microelectronics Engineering, or a related technical discipline; a master’s degree is preferred.
8+ or years of experience in semiconductor manufacturing, MEMS or BiCMOS fabrication, process sustaining, integration or process development.
Demonstrated ownership of one or more semiconductor process areas, such as thin-film deposition, epitaxy, ion implantation, diffusion.
Strong knowledge of semiconductor process integration, equipment interactions, process controls, and high-volume manufacturing practices.
Demonstrated success leading complex root-cause investigations and implementing durable corrective actions.
Working knowledge of SPC, DOE, FMEA, process capability analysis, and data-driven decision-making.
Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and lead cross-functional technical efforts in a dynamic manufacturing environment.
Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, including the ability to present complex technical information clearly to technical and nontechnical audiences.
Proficiency with analytical and visualization tools such as JMP, Spotfire, Klarity ACE, or equivalent platforms.

Responsibilities

Own assigned semiconductor process modules, layers, and equipment sets in a high-volume manufacturing environment, ensuring safe, stable, capable, and documented operations.
Lead continuous-improvement initiatives that increase yield, process capability, equipment utilization, throughput, and cycle-time performance while reducing defects, variability, and manufacturing cost.
Partner with Manufacturing, Equipment, Process Integration, Product, Quality, Facilities, and Development teams to achieve safety, quality, delivery, and cost objectives.
Lead structured investigations of yield excursions, process deviations, equipment events, and reliability concerns using 8D, FMEA, 5-Why, fault-tree analysis, or equivalent methods; implement and verify sustainable corrective and preventive actions.
Use statistical process control, design of experiments, process capability analysis, and data visualization to establish controls, optimize process windows, and identify systematic sources of variation.
Develop, qualify, and transfer new processes, materials, equipment, and manufacturing capabilities from development into volume production, including risk assessment, acceptance criteria, control plans, and release documentation.
Define and maintain process specifications, recipes, operating procedures, reaction plans, change controls, and troubleshooting guides; ensure consistent execution across shifts and engineering groups.
Review process and equipment performance indicators, prioritize improvement opportunities, and lead initiatives that deliver measurable operational and financial impact.
Mentor engineers, technicians, and manufacturing personnel through technical guidance, training, and knowledge sharing.
