Role Overview
We are looking for a Process Engineer to support the development, stabilization and industrialization of our semiconductor fabrication processes.
At our current stage of maturity, this position combines advanced process development, hands-on R&D and manufacturing engineering. The Process Engineer will play a key role in bridging the gap between Advanced R&D and Production, transforming newly developed process building blocks into robust, repeatable and scalable manufacturing processes.
The role will have a strong focus on dry etching processes, particularly ICP and RIE, as well as PECVD and metal evaporation. The successful candidate will work closely with R&D teams, fabrication engineers, equipment owners and cleanroom operators to improve process capability, reproducibility, yield and production throughput.
This is a highly hands-on position requiring a strong understanding of semiconductor fabrication, rigorous experimental methodology and the ability to investigate complex interactions between process parameters and device performance.
Key Responsibilities
Process Development & Industrialization
• Develop, optimize and stabilize semiconductor fabrication processes, with a primary focus on ICP / RIE dry etching, PECVD deposition and metal evaporation.
• Validate and qualify new fabrication equipment and associated processes.
• Define process windows, recipes, operating conditions and acceptance criteria.
• Use structured experimentation, including Design of Experiments (DoE) where appropriate, to understand process sensitivities and optimize performance.
• Improve process repeatability, reproducibility, robustness and within-wafer / wafer-to-wafer homogeneity.
• Prepare processes and equipment for increasing wafer sizes, batch sizes and production volumes.
R&D to Production Transfer
• Act as a key technical interface between Advanced R&D and Production.
• Convert R&D process building blocks into stable, documented and manufacturable processes.
• Assess manufacturability, scalability and process risks before transfer to production.
• Define qualification plans and acceptance criteria before releasing new or modified processes to production.
• Lead or contribute to Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) for critical fabrication steps, identifying potential failure modes, their effects on device performance and appropriate prevention and control measures.
• Translate PFMEA outcomes into process controls, monitoring plans, acceptance criteria, Control Plans and documentation.
• Support technology transfer through clear documentation, operator training and technical communication.
Process Control & Yield Improvement
• Monitor and improve production process performance, yield and throughput.
• Establish regular process checks, controls and monitoring methodologies, including Statistical Process Control (SPC) where relevant.
• Detect process drifts, investigate deviations and define corrective and preventive actions.
• Lead root-cause analysis and troubleshooting activities for yield losses, process excursions and equipment-related issues.
• Define and maintain relevant process KPIs and contribute to continuous-improvement initiatives.
• Promote best practices that increase process stability, repeatability and equipment utilization.
Equipment & Production Support
• Provide hands-on technical support to cleanroom operators and production teams.
• Support equipment qualification, troubleshooting and process recovery following equipment interventions.
• Work closely with equipment suppliers and internal teams to resolve technical issues.
• Contribute to a safe, disciplined and efficient cleanroom environment.
Process Characterization & Data Analysis
• Characterize the impact of fabrication parameters on material and device performance.
• Correlate process data with structural, optical and electrical characterization results.
• Use experimental data to identify process sensitivities, failure mechanisms and optimization opportunities.
• Develop appropriate data-analysis tools to support process monitoring and engineering decisions.
• Search and analyze scientific and technical literature to support process development and troubleshooting.
Documentation & Communication
• Create and maintain high-quality process documentation, including process specifications, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), equipment recipes, qualification reports, Control Plans, process-development reports and troubleshooting guides.
• Ensure frequent and clear reporting of process status, experimental results, risks and improvement actions.
• Communicate effectively with colleagues from different technical backgrounds and levels of experience.
• Train and support operators and other team members on new or updated processes.
Requirements
Required Qualifications & Experience
• Master's degree or PhD in Semiconductor Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Micro/Nanotechnology, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with semiconductor or photonic-device fabrication in a cleanroom environment.
• Strong knowledge of dry etching, ideally including hands-on experience with ICP-RIE.
• Experience with one or more complementary processes such as RIE, PECVD, physical vapor deposition / metal evaporation and lithography.…
