What is the difference between Senior Wafer Fab Process Engineer vs Process Integration Engineer?

AspectSenior Wafer Fab Process EngineerProcess Integration Engineer
Primary FocusDeveloping and optimizing fabrication processes for semiconductor wafersIntegrating various process steps to improve overall device performance
Required SkillsProcess engineering, equipment operation, troubleshootingProcess development, cross-disciplinary collaboration, data analysis
Work EnvironmentCleanroom manufacturing facilities, wafer fabsDesign labs, R&D centers, manufacturing settings
Common CertificationsSEMICON process certifications, engineering degreesSimilar certifications, often with additional focus on device physics

The Senior Wafer Fab Process Engineer primarily focuses on developing and refining manufacturing processes within the wafer fabrication environment. In contrast, the Process Integration Engineer concentrates on integrating various process steps to enhance device performance. While both roles require strong process engineering skills and industry certifications, their day-to-day tasks and work environments differ, with the former more manufacturing-oriented and the latter more R&D-focused.

Job description

Overview
Wafer Fab Process Engineers are needed by the Microcircuit Emulation Center at SRI International (formerly Sarnoff Corporation) in Princeton, NJ, to support the manufacturing of microcircuits (integrated circuits). Through SRI's Generalized Emulation of Microcircuits (GEM) program, the Microcircuit Emulation Center supplies form, fit, function, and interface replacements for obsolete microcircuits. Check out our work! This capability supports production, redesign, and sustainment requirements for the life of a weapon system. SRI's Microcircuit Emulation Center is a government-supported, U.S.-based Trusted foundry. Relocation benefits are not available for these roles.
Responsibilities
  • Hands-on process engineering to support low-volume, high-product mix microcircuit manufacturing and development.
  • Process areas of interest include Epitaxial Deposition, Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Plasma Etch, Diffusion, Wet Chemistry, Ion Implant, and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD). Capability to support other process areas as required.
  • Sustaining, improving, and optimizing current processes to support operations.
  • Working with process engineers to integrate and develop manufacturable processes for existing and future technologies to enable yield improvement, defect reduction, improved reliability, and future technology development.
  • Working in cross functional teams (Integration, Design, and Layout) to address process issues.
  • Data collection, correlation, interpretation, and presentation of information to management and co-workers.

Qualifications
  • BS or BE in chemistry, physics, material science, or engineering.
  • 0-2 years hands on Wafer Fab processing engineering experience in at least one of
  • the following process areas: Epitaxial Deposition, Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Plasma Etch, Diffusion, Wet Chemistry, Ion Implant, and/or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).
  • Due to Government requirements candidates must be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident.
  • Ability to troubleshoot using analytical methodologies in a collaborative team effort across disciplines.
  • Must be able to work in a clean room environment up to 50% of the workday and perform flexible shift work when required.
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing, including report writing, PowerPoint presentations, etc.
  • Able to work on site Monday - Friday, starting at 8:30am, with an 8-hour workday

Desired:
  • Process integration knowledge and experience.
  • Computer programming skills, experience creating and editing scripts (MYSQL, JMP, Excel).
  • Experience working with Lam plasma dry etch systems, RENA wet chemistry benches, Sandvik (MRL) furnaces, Axcelis Purion ion implanters, ASM epi reactors, and AMAT Endura and Centura systems is desired.

The salary range is: $63,873-$84,636. Salary ranges will vary and are based on several factors, including geographic location, market competitiveness and equity amongst internal employees in similar roles. Positions may also qualify for SRI's Pay for Outstanding Performance program or the annual Performance Based Compensation program. SRI also has a competitive benefits package, to view details please go to https://www.sri.com/resources/benefits/. SRI will accept applications until the position is filled.
