Job Description

Salary range for position: $135,000 - $165,000, commensurate with experience.

POSITION SUMMARY:

Develop and improve wafer fab processes. Own tools and processes run on them, minimizing yield loss and maximizing process performance. Provide production support engineering for a specific product or group of products (inkjet print heads) during and after transfer from design to production. Sustain products with cost reduction and yield improvement efforts. Interface with other engineers to solve technical problems. Work closely with R&D and manufacturing engineering to qualify new tools and processes for volume production.

Knowledge: A seasoned, experienced professional with a full understanding of area of specialization; resolves a wide range of issues in creative ways. This job is fully qualified, career-oriented, journey-level position.

Job Complexity: Works on problems of diverse scope where analysis of data requires evaluation of identifiable factors. Demonstrates good judgment in selecting methods and techniques for obtaining solutions. Networks with senior internal and external personnel in own area of expertise.

Supervision: Normally receives little instruction on day to day works, general instructions on new assignments.

Experience: Typically requires a minimum of 8 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 6 years and a Master's degree' or PhD with 3 years' experience; or equivalent work experience.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Develop and improve wafer fab processes (Silicon Oxide, Deep Silicon, Ion Mill...etch processes).
