A bit about us:

We are an innovative company that manufactures ultra-compact, high-functioning opto-electronic imaging and LIDAR devices. Our products serve as mission critical devices for the industrial and defense industries.

Why join us?

• Cutting Edge Tech.
• Innovative R&D Environment.
• Room for career development.
• Collaborative Team Environment.

Job Details

SUMMARY:
As our Process Engineer you will be heavily involved in developing new manufacturing processes (for R&D and Production) for III-V materials (GaAs, InP, InGaAs, GaSb, etc) for the fabrication of infrared detector arrays. You will be developing and owning new processes as well as implementing existing ones. Use design of experiments to improve process yield. Troubleshoot unforeseen issues, suggest and develop improvements to current approaches. Thoroughly document all process steps and train other operators, technicians and engineers in their execution. Collect inspection, metrology and test data and interpret results. Present solutions to internal scientists and management team.

MUST HAVES:

• Photolithography, (Clean room fundamentals for thin films, wet etch, dry etch, metals).
• Working with wafers with your hands and tweezers-this is not an automated fab.
• SPC, root cause analysis, data reporting, work instruction creation.
• Cleanroom and process equipment.

POSITION BREAKDOWN:

• Working in a clean environment about 70% of the time. The other 30% is data analysis, and statistical analysis. Will be optimizing and developing wafer processing, tracking yields, and implementing the design of experiments to understand and solve the yield problems.

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop and optimize processes for making optoelectronic devices
• Develop semiconductor wafers processes around III-V materials (InP, GaAs, InGaAs, GaSb) into optoelectronic devices
• Design process Travelers and Work Instructions with clear instructions
• Track processes and make notes via process travelers
• Run designed experiments to improve process reproducibility and increase yield
• Participate in device test data reviews and suggest process improvements to improve device performance
• Provide engineering and operator oversight

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE:

• Bachelors in Chemical Engineering, Material Science, Physics, Electronics, or Electrical Engineering.
• Experience with the operation of nanofabrication equipment including: Photolithographic stepper, metal deposition, wet/dry etching, SEM, and plasma deposition machines
• 5+ years of experience in microelectronic semiconductor fabrication and wafer handling techniques
• Track record of developing solutions to process development problems.
• Experience with Design of Experiments and Statistical Process Control
• Ability to understand and analyze data related to semiconductor device performance
• Experienced in developing and executing design of experiments
• Ability to convey data analysis in an accurate and concise format and developing and delivering presentations
• Experience with creating reports, documenting tests, and creating and reviewing process work instructions
