### Responsibilities

• Photolithography Process Development: Develop, optimize, characterize, and qualify photolithography processes for advanced NAND technology nodes. Identify process limitations and develop practical solutions that meet yield, reliability, performance, and cost requirements.
• Technology Development: Evaluate emerging lithography processes, materials, equipment, and methodologies. Identify disruptive or enabling technologies early and work with Manufacturing, Technology Development, equipment suppliers, and cross-functional partners to establish viable implementation paths.
• AI and Advanced Analytics: Explore and apply AI, machine learning, statistical analysis, modeling, and automation to accelerate process development, improve process understanding, identify systematic signatures, optimize process windows, and improve engineering productivity.
• Process Modeling and Optimization: Utilize experimental data, DOE, process modeling, image analysis, and advanced analytics to understand process interactions and systematically optimize lithography performance.
• Innovation: Develop creative solutions to challenging lithography problems through experimentation, modeling, and data-driven engineering. Contribute to intellectual property, patents, technical papers, engineering methodologies, and internal technical knowledge.
• Technology Roadmap: Develop a strong understanding of the photolithography technology roadmap and monitor technology trends within the semiconductor industry. Evaluate emerging capabilities for potential application to future NAND technology requirements.
• Yield and Process Improvement: Investigate process-related yield, defectivity, reliability, overlay, CD, focus, process-window, and patterning issues. Apply structured problem-solving and data analysis to identify root causes and implement sustainable improvements.
• Equipment and Material Evaluation: Partner with equipment and material suppliers to evaluate new lithography capabilities, including exposure systems, track systems, photoresists, ancillary materials, process-control solutions, metrology, and computational lithography technologies.
• Technology Transfer and Ramp: Participate in technology transfer, pilot-line ramp, qualification, and technology-gate activities to ensure robust processes transition successfully from development into manufacturing.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with engineers across Photolithography, Process Integration, Yield, Metrology, Etch, CMP, Manufacturing, Equipment Engineering, and other technology-development functions to solve complex integration challenges.
• Global Collaboration: Collaborate with engineering teams across sites to share learning, understand common technical challenges, benchmark solutions, and accelerate technology development.
• Technical Communication: Communicate technical findings, data, recommendations, risks, and improvement opportunities clearly to engineering teams and management through technical reports, presentations, and design or process reviews.
• Technical Growth: Build progressively deeper expertise in advanced photolithography, computational methods, AI-enabled process development, and semiconductor manufacturing. Take increasing ownership of technically complex programs and broader cross-functional initiatives as experience develops.
• Safety and Compliance: Perform all development and engineering activities in accordance with applicable environmental, health, safety, quality, and operational requirements.
