fab2 Staff Process Development Engineer at fab2 responsible for experiment design and execution of semiconductor etching and thin-film fabrication methods. This role involves hands-on cleanroom work and developing nanofabrication recipes from scratch.

Responsibilities

As a Staff Process Development Engineer at fab2, you’ll be responsible for experiment design and execution of new semiconductor, etching and thin-film fabrication methods. We're looking for someone with both a strong understanding of traditional semiconductor processing and etching methods along with an open-mindedness to new techniques. It'll be helpful if you have the ability to digest and filter a large body of existing work (academic papers, books, etc.)
This is a high-ownership role with lots of autonomy in a fast-moving startup environment. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to novel R&D processes and influence tool design. Candidates should have hands-on cleanroom experience and a track record of developing nanofabrication recipes from scratch, ideally across multiple process steps.
Work in the lab to design and run experiments alongside senior process engineers
Read academic papers and technical literature to inform experimental design; whiteboard ideas and iterate quickly
Learn and operate a range of semiconductor tools, including etch, deposition, lithography, and metrology systems
Develop, transfer, and optimize process recipes across platforms with a focus on consistency, yield, and throughput
Analyze process data, troubleshoot recipe or equipment issues, and clearly document findings and results for the team
Required Experience
PhD + 10 years of experience (or equivalent) developing nanofabrication processes, device flows, and mentoring technical teams
Experience operating dry etch, thin film deposition, and lithography tools
Hands-on cleanroom experience with multi-step fabrication flows
Recipe development and optimization for some subset of dry etch, thin film deposition, or lithography
