Responsibilities
- Lead the innovation, development, and optimization of new manufacturing concepts, processes, and procedures for transfer to manufacturing operations.
- Apply Design for Reliability Manufacturing (DRM) and data-driven methods through process development.
- Conduct scouting and feasibility work, material selection, process and equipment selection, tooling/fixture and equipment installation, and assessment of inputs, outputs, and alignment to requirements.
- Develop manufacturing processes applicable to statistical process control and develop those techniques, including measurement systems.
- Perform equipment qualifications (IQ), process validations (Process characterization, OQ, and PQ), and gage R&R studies (TMV).
- Apply statistical methods and science-based decisions to design experiments and implement improvements.
- Perform necessary experiments to establish robust processes. Monitor, root cause, and resolve process yield issues.
- Provide technical and sustaining engineering support in a manufacturing area. Troubleshoot and resolve equipment/process production issues.
- Integrate equipment and material capabilities to meet process module target specifications and technology target specifications.
- Review product development requirements for compatibility with processing methods to determine costs and schedules.
- Interact with product design and development personnel to ensure that processes and designs are compatible.
- Generate and maintain documentation per quality system regulations.
- Ensure processes and procedures are in compliance with regulations.
Must Have: Minimum Qualifications
- University Degree and minimum 7 years of relevant experience, or advanced degree with a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience.
- Experience with wafer fabrication processes, including equipment/process development or manufacturing operations.
Nice to Have
- Exposure to microfabrication/MEMS processes, including photolithography, thin-film deposition, and patterning techniques.
- Experience in developing a process from concept to transfer in manufacturing and/or experience working in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
- Aptitude to program, run, and troubleshoot automated equipment, machine vision, and automated metrology tools.
- Experience with DRM / DFSS, Lean Sigma, or Green/Black Belt Lean Sigma certification.
- Knowledge of DOE, statistical analysis methods, and data analysis tools (Minitab, JMP, etc.).
- Advanced degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Biomedical Engineering, or similar discipline.
