The Ocotillo Technology Fabrication (OTF) Lithography Module Engineer - Layer Owner role is multifaceted. The ideal candidate will have a passion for instrumentation and equipment with the goal of developing a robust manufacturable process module.

As an OTF Lithography Layer Owner you will play an important role in the OTF engineering team. You will be responsible for owning all aspects of one or more of the factory's 300mm toolsets. Your sustaining responsibilities will include the safety and cleanliness of your area and ensuring Copy Exactly for your toolset. You will also be expected to review the relevant control charts and tool output daily and ensure your toolset and layers remain excursion free. You will be responsible for delivering Model of Record (MOR) availability and achieving 100 percent matching for all relevant operations. For new technology start-ups, you will be responsible for tool installations, conversions, and qualifications; and sustained matching performance. You will be expected to drive continuous improvement in the health and matching of your toolset(s) by maintaining and driving an improvement roadmap. You will be responsible for leading your tools and area to achieve record tool availability, cycle time, and record low defect densities in support of OTFs factory goals. OTF supports a High-Volume Manufacturing. As such, your role may include elements of module-level process development in support of the factory's goal and output.

Responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Define roadmaps to meet requirements, goals and milestones for a new technology process.
• Defines and establishes flow, procedures, and equipment configuration for the module.
• Selects and develops material and equipment for the process to meet quality, yield, reliability, cost, productivity and manufacturability requirements.
• Plans and conducts experiments to fully characterize the process throughout the development cycle.
• Drives improvements on quality, yield, reliability, process stability, productivity and safety/ergonomic over variables such as material, method, equipment, environment and operating personnel.
• Develops solutions to problems utilizing formal education, statistical knowledge, and problem-solving tools.
• Establishes process control systems for the process module and sustains the module through volume ramp.
• Develops strategy to resolve difficult problems and establishes systems to deal with these problems in the future.
• Trains production/receiving process engineers for transfer to other factories.
• Transfers process to high volume manufacturing and provide support in new factory start-up as well as install and qualification of the new production lines.
• Position may require working on a day or night shift as an OSE (on-shift engineer) to support toolset needs.

In addition to the qualifications a successful candidate will demonstrate:

• Working in a high performing team culture which includes setting high expectations.
• Driving accountability to those expectations with a high sense of urgency.
• Role modeling the desired culture. Possess teamwork and leadership skills.
• Problem solving and prioritization skills.
• Driving high performance maintenance goals for the group.
• Use data to influence factory and virtual factory direction.
• Listening, written and verbal communication.
• Deal with ambiguity in defining activities and direction.
• Commitment to task. Work across organizational boundaries including process engineering, integration and yield.

You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and or schoolwork/classes/research.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical or related engineering STEM field with 4+ years of experience, OR
• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical or related engineering STEM field with 2+ years of experience, OR
• PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical or related engineering STEM field.
• The experience mentioned above should be in the following:
  • Semiconductor Engineering experience.
  • Experience supporting high-volume manufacturing ramps and technology transfers.
  • Semiconductor process engineering experience in high-volume manufacturing, process development, or technology transfer.
  • Experience with lithography, patterning, process control, or yield improvement.
  • Experience troubleshooting manufacturing issues using statistical analysis and data-driven problem solving.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working in a semiconductor factory as a technician or engineer prior to Engineering role.
• Statistics and experimental design; and the skills to apply that knowledge to tool matching, tool qualification, and process development.
• Technical and troubleshooting experience.
• Direct experience in Lithography as a Process Engineer, Module Engineer, or Layer Owner.
• Experience with EUV or immersion lithography, overlay, critical dimension (CD) control, and defect reduction.
• Experience with DOE, SPC, tool qualification, tool matching, and process characterization.
• Proficiency with JMP, Python, or similar data analysis tools.
• Experience supporting technology development, factory startup, or high-volume manufacturing ramps.
• Foundry or OSAT experience.
