Senior Process Engineer

We’re looking for a Senior Engineer with deep expertise in thin film processing to develop atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes for next-generation semiconductor nodes. You’ll own ALD process development through process optimization and integration, turning device requirements into robust, manufacturable processes. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with thermal and/or plasma-enhanced ALD and strong systems engineering skills. You’ll need a solid technical foundation across materials science, physics, and chemistry to understand precursor behavior, nucleation and growth mechanisms, and growth in complex 3D structures. The ideal candidate will have a strong knowledge of ALD hardware, such as vacuum systems, plasma sources, and precursor delivery that will allow them to collaborate with cross functional teams continuously improve tool design and performance.

Role Responsibilities:

• Design, collect data, analyze, and compile reports on a wide range of complex process engineering experiments for multiple products
• Utilize techniques, define methods, and apply new technologies to characterize hardware, and/or perform hardware characterization on a high number of complex systems for multiple products
• Generate internal and external documentation for products, presentations, technical reports and create process engineering specifications
• Develop, plan, and execute process engineering projects, within safety guidelines
• Train engineers in measurement techniques of film properties and guide them in the interpretation of the data, new methodologies, troubleshooting techniques and issue resolution
• Communicate and engage with customers to resolve a broad spectrum of complex process engineering issues, with limited supervision
• Design and implement new technology, products, and analytical instrumentation
• Identify, select, and partner with vendors and suppliers with limited to no supervision
• Lead functional teams or projects, as needed
