What is thin film electronics?

Thin Film Electronics refers to the design and manufacture of electronic circuits and devices using thin layers of materials—often only a few nanometers to micrometers thick—deposited on substrates like glass, plastic, or metal. This technology enables the creation of flexible, lightweight, and sometimes transparent electronic components such as transistors, sensors, and displays. Thin film electronics are widely used in applications like flexible displays, solar cells, RFID tags, and wearable devices. The field involves expertise in materials science, physics, and electrical engineering to optimize performance and integration into various products.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a thin film electronics engineer?

To thrive as a Thin Film Electronics Engineer, you need a strong background in materials science, semiconductor physics, and electronic circuit design, often backed by a degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Familiarity with thin film deposition techniques, characterization tools (such as SEM, AFM, or XRD), and relevant software for device modeling and data analysis is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective teamwork are crucial soft skills that distinguish top performers. These competencies are essential for developing reliable thin film devices, advancing research, and ensuring successful integration into electronic products.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in thin film electronics, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in thin film electronics often encounter challenges such as maintaining uniform film thickness, ensuring device reliability, and integrating new materials into existing manufacturing processes. Achieving consistent quality requires meticulous attention to deposition techniques and process control. Collaboration with cross-functional teams, such as material scientists and process engineers, is essential to troubleshoot issues and implement innovative solutions. Staying updated with the latest advancements and participating in regular training can also help address these challenges effectively.

Responsibilities
Responsibilities
Keysight's Thin Film department manufactures passive thin film devices that differentiate our industry-leading RF, microwave, and high bit rate instruments. The thin film devices are built in a high-mix microfabrication environment using processes such as deposition, lithography, electroplating, dry/wet etch, electrical test, laser ablation, and dicing.
We are seeking a Night Shift Supervisor to lead ~12 operators to manufacture thin film devices with safety, efficiency, and quality. The ideal candidate combines effective people leadership with technical depth, driving operational excellence through clear communication, accountability, and continuous improvement. The position is on-site during night shift hours (Su-Th, start time 10:00PM), with additional oversight of limited weekend-shift work centers.
Responsibilities:
  • Lead safe, efficient manufacturing performance across night shift and supported weekend areas
  • Partner closely with day and swing shift supervisors to ensure seamless shift handoffs, staffing alignment, and consistent lot prioritization
  • Maintain proactive floor presence to identify issues, remove barriers, and drive continuous improvement
  • Promote culture of safety through hazard identification and proactive risk reduction initiatives
  • Coordinate compliance with Quality Management System and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) regulations
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, maintenance, planning, and procurement teams
  • Own work instructions and training records to drive standardized work
  • Coach, develop, and engage a team of ~12 operators through regular feedback and performance management

Qualifications
Required:
  • 2+ years of experience as a supervisor or lead technician with emphasis on coordinating the work of others
  • Working knowledge of manufacturing execution systems (MES) and lot tracking methodologies
  • Practical experience identifying and implementing continuous improvement ideas
  • Proven leadership in a high-mix production environment

Desired:
  • Associates degree or higher in a technical field
  • 3+ years of cleanroom manufacturing experience in microfabrication, semiconductor, MEMS or similar environment
  • Hands-on experience across several microfabrication processes (e.g. lithography, sputter deposition, dry/wet etch, electroplating, electrical test, laser, dicing, visual inspection)
  • Intermediate proficiency with Excel or similar tools for data analysis and decision making
