Fabrication Process Research Engineer

Process engineering in a fast-paced environment. Establishing both process maturation and stability whilst simultaneously pushing the limits of what is possible in semiconductor packaging.

Fabrication Process Research Engineer Responsibilities

• Innovate processes for fabrication of novel devices and advanced packaging solutions for flexible/stretchable integration of electronic components, devices, and systems
• Design experiments for development, evaluation and yield enhancement of processes to develop Best Known Methods (BKMs) that will be leveraged for prototype development
• Partner and collaborate with researchers, hardware engineers, device and systems integration teams, and external partners to push development beyond state-of-the-art
• Design, execute, and oversee internal, external, and hybrid manufacturing integration workflows to mature, document, track process stability, and deliver research prototypes
• Contribute new technologies and methods innovation to close critical capability gaps

Minimum Qualifications

• B.S. or equivalent degree or comparable experience in field of Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
• 2+ years experience in process engineering focused on micro- or nanofabrication, MEMS, advanced packaging and/or related technologies to include, but not limited to, wet/dry etch, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), electrochemical deposition (ECD), photolithography, metrology, back-end-of-line (BEOL), surface mount technology (SMT), laser machining, micro-molding and/or similar fabrication processes
• Demonstrated >2 successful outcomes in process development and fabrication in a development or production environment, including, but not limited to, optimization of a single process, utilization of test and characterization methods and instruments for validation, electrical schematic design, physical layouts, mechanical design, and/or related outcomes
• 2+ years of experience in development and/or use of high performance electronic materials

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree in field of Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
• Experience using Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools in design and subsequent fabrication of advanced packaging technologies including flexible printed circuits (FPC), printed circuit board (PCB) and/or redistribution layers (RDL), wafer-level packaging (WLP), system-in-package (SiP), flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) or similar technology
• Either depth of expertise in a specific fabrication technology area or experience in process integration that leverages a breadth of process experience from front-end to BEOL with a demonstrated record of leveraging expertise to build devices, circuits, and/or systems
• Working experience with metrology equipment and processes, to include but not limited to, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), focused ion beam (FIB) cross-section, ellipsometry/reflectometry, automated optical inspection (AOI), atomic force microscopy (AFM), confocal & optical microscopy/inspection, contact and non-contact profilometry, scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM), or similar techniques
• Practical experience in substrate bonding and debonding, hermetic sealing, MEMS packaging, compression molding, transfer molding, planarization, or similar technologies
