    • Wafer-based fabrication processes to allow electrical, optical, and fluidic interconnects
  • Work with internal customers to transition new products from first-time builds through scale up to reliable production processes while maintaining Samtec's sudden service principles. 
  • Create, simplify and improves processes in fab operations including lithography, deposition (Plating), and/or CMP.  
  • Characterize wafers using optical microscopy, SEM/EDS, FIB/SEM, XRD, XRF, and electrical test. 
  • Design and execute DOEs to advance new materials and processes.  
  • Statistical analysis using software e.g., JMP (custom / screening DOEs) and Minitab.  
  • Pull large datasets (SQL, MongoDB) and synthesize data into actionable improvements to enhance product yield.   
  • Collaborate with a team of scientists and engineers to develop new materials and processes for glass wafer processing.  
 
Requirements: 
  • 5+ years of process and equipment experience in wafer/panel engineering and wafer/panel fabrication in one or more of the following unit operations: CMP, i-line Photolithography, or electroplating.
  • Must be a self-starter.
  • Expertise with Glass, Silicon, Semiconductor, or Hard drive wafer/panel processes and/or development and high-volume manufacturing strongly desired. 
  • Ability to communicate clearly and effectively with operators and management. 
  • Ability to meet International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) compliance requirements.
  • Strong technical and verbal/written communication skills. 
  • Understanding and application of SPC methods and control techniques.
