Job Description:

As an MTS Epi Process Development Engineer, you will be responsible for product-driven development of gallium nitride based epitaxial deposition processes using Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). This position will be responsible for planning and execution of MOCVD experiments, analysis and review of metrology data, and working closely with process engineering to ensure necessary process controls for uniform and high yielding MOCVD processes. This position is additionally responsible for close cross-functional work with chip fabrication teams to identify and contribute to co-optimization of epitaxy and chip designs toward product requirements.

Job Responsibilities:

• Development and execution of product-driven epitaxial processes via MOCVD
• Analyze and review metrology data associated with epitaxial processes and equipment
• Contribute to development and optimization of yield and process control metrics for epi
• Coordinate with chip fabrication team to plan and execute necessary epi experiments for co-optimization of epi and chip; may serve as member on cross-functional project team(s)
• Support quality systems requirements and new product introduction (NPI) requirements
• Additional duties as assigned

Required Qualifications:

• B.S. and MS or PhD in engineering (materials, electrical engineering, physics or related discipline)
• 5+ years industry experience in epitaxial process development, semiconductor or manufacturing process engineering for product
• Experience with a variety of thin film metrology and characterization techniques
• Fabrication and/or test experience with LED, laser diode or similar optoelectronic devices

Preferred Qualifications:

• Epitaxial growth experience in gallium nitride MOCVD, preferably in production environment
• Laser device design and chip fabrication knowledge; technical background to effectively support epi/chip design co-optimization for various applications
• Strong analytical programming and/or data analysis skills (JMP, Python, MATLAB, Mathematica, etc)
• Strong critical thinking, creative, innovative and analytical problem-solving skills
• Self-motivated and resourceful
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Flexible and team player mentality
