Process Engineer

We are seeking a hands on Process Engineer to join an advanced semiconductor manufacturing environment focused on developing and sustaining complex wafer fabrication processes. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working directly in the fab, owning processes end to end, and solving challenging manufacturing problems in a fast paced, technology driven setting.

• Develop, optimise, and sustain wafer fabrication processes across multiple front end manufacturing steps
• Drive hands on processing in areas such as photolithography, wet chemical processing, dry etch, and thin film deposition
• Own and improve plasma based processes
  , including plasma etch (RIE, ICP) and or plasma deposition (PECVD, ALD, or related techniques)
• Support wafer level processing steps including thinning, scribing, cleaving, and coatings
• Apply SPC, DOE, and statistical analysis to build stable, repeatable, and scalable processes
• Perform on wafer testing, metrology, and failure analysis using tools such as SEM, FIB, EDS, AFM, and similar techniques
• Lead or support out of control responses using structured problem solving methodologies
• Partner closely with equipment engineering, technicians, and cross functional teams to improve yield, reliability, and throughput
• Contribute to technical reviews, documentation, and reporting to project teams and leadership

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related discipline
• 2 to 5 plus years of hands on semiconductor manufacturing or process engineering experience
• Strong background in wafer fab process development and sustaining
• Direct experience with plasma etch and or plasma deposition is required
• Experience working in a cleanroom environment and running tools independently
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills with experience using statistical or data analysis tools such as JMP, R, or Python
• Comfortable working in a small, agile team and taking ownership of multiple responsibilities
• Clear communicator who works well across engineering, operations, and leadership teams
• On site role at a semiconductor wafer fabrication facility in Fremont, California
• Hands on presence in the fab is required
• Role is subject to US export control requirements and therefore requires US person status
