Job Summary:
The Advanced Microelectronics Solutions (AMS) Department has an exciting opportunity available for a Deposition Processes Execution Lead to join our III-V compound semiconductor foundry team fabricating gallium nitride and gallium arsenide-based devices. This role requires a broad understanding of microelectronics processing and subject matter expertise in one or more deposition related techniques including e-beam evaporation, sputtering, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and atomic layer deposition (ALD).

As a member of the AMS Department, the individual in this role will serve as a process improvement engineering lead and collaborate with the various engineering work centers of the III-V semiconductor wafer foundry. The candidate will lead and assist projects in process improvement, capital allocation, monitoring and directing process and capital qualifications, improving cycle time, improving product yield, developing new data driven controls, and drive overall wafer movement efficiency. The chosen candidate is expected to be an innovative and creative thinker capable of probing issues and reaching solutions both independently and in a team environment. The ideal candidate will have a broad understanding of microelectronics processing techniques such as deposition, etch, photolithography, metrology, process characterization, foundry data integrity, and large data analysis methods.

The candidate is expected to work well in large and small, cross-functional teams, understand foundry processes, determine capacity limitations, improve overall equipment effectiveness, identify yield improvement opportunities, gather sponsorship and team resources, and execute continuous improvement activities. The candidate is expected to identify and prioritize efforts to improve the overall execution within the deposition work center, assemble teams and knowledge as needed to achieve positive process changes, and be a driver to bring projects to completion. Presence on the foundry floor is essential for quick resolution of technical issues as well as the ability to work with operations, facilities, equipment, and quality teams. The role requires a large degree of multitasking with attention to detail while managing priorities depending on the nature of the problems and the commitments.

This role will be 100% on-site and based in Andover, MA.

What You Will Do:
Manipulate large datasets and use statistical analysis to define SPC controls, manage projects, assign risk, and optimize wafer movement
Develop and report on actionable deposition work center health metrics
Identify capacity constraints and opportunities for improvement
Identify capital needs, collaborate with tool vendors, assist in tool acceptance, and create plans/schedules for tool and process qualifications
Run and manage process improvement qualification efforts
Frequently work on the foundry floor and interact with various process engineering, equipment engineering, digital technologies, quality, facilities, and operation teams

Qualifications You Must Have:
Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience, or an advanced degree in a related field and minimum 5 years’ experience in semiconductor processing techniques including photolithography, dry etching, metals evaporation, and optical or scanning electron microscope inspections
The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance. U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Value:
Excellent communication skills to effectively transfer ideas
Excellent problem recognition and problem-solving skills
Broad knowledge related to semiconductor processing, device physics, and data analysis
Experience troubleshooting fabrication equipment in addition to establishing equipment qualification and preventative maintenance procedures
Proficient in statistical process control and lean manufacturing methods (eg, Six Sigma)
Ability to work with large datasets
Experience in a data analysis software packages (e.g. MATLAB, Python, SQL, JMP)
Ability to lead and coordinate technical projects with cross-functional teams
Cleanroom experience with deposition techniques
Experience with characterizing, understanding, and improving semiconductor device performance and reliability
