Job Description:

In this role, you will be an integral contributor to next‑generation patterning process development and First‑of‑Kind (FOK) tool installation, development, and qualification. You will work in a dynamic, collaborative environment solving complex technical problems on sophisticated manufacturing processes and equipment while partnering closely with cross‑functional stakeholders.

Note: This role requires regular onsite presence to fulfill essential job responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities (may include but are not limited to)

• Support FOK tool install, bring‑up, development, and qualification activities for Back End Etch modules.

• Contribute to the development of next‑generation patterning processes; execute learning cycles from early development through qualification.

• Work with cross‑functional teams (e.g., Integration, Manufacturing, Equipment, Yield/Defect, and suppliers) to solve technical process and defect issues.

• Plan and conduct experiments (e.g., DOE) to characterize process performance throughout the development cycle.

• Establish and improve process control systems to optimize and sustain production performance (e.g., SPC, control plans, response plans).

• Drive improvements in quality, reliability, cost, yield, process stability/capability, productivity, and safety/ergonomics within the module scope.

• Develop structured strategies to resolve difficult problems and help implement mechanisms to prevent recurrence (sustaining systems, standard work, controls).

Behavioral Traits (Ideal Candidate)

• Demonstrated ability to analyze complex technical issues and identify a clear solution path.

• Self‑directed, shows initiative, and can work independently with minimal direction.

• Strong communication skills; can summarize complex data sets for both technical and non‑technical audiences.
