Dry Etch Process Engineer

Overview Help develop, own, and sustain the Dry Etch process and related manufacturing processes in coordination with process development and manufacturing partners. Ensure the process has high process capability and is designed for high volume semiconductor manufacturing. Day‑to‑Day Responsibilities Own and sustain the Dry Etch process area or a part thereof in a 24/7 high‑volume silicon carbide wafer fab. Respond to any process deviations in a timely and systematic manner, document findings, and present them succinctly to a wide‑ranging audience. Perform process and capability studies to ensure key parameters are identified, monitored, and controlled. Analyze data using sound statistical methodology (SPC) to drive process, efficiency, and quality improvements. Establish relationships across various departments to drive cohesive learning and cross‑functional problem solving. Monitor and analyze etch processes to ensure consistency and quality in production, making adjustments as necessary. Collaborate with maintenance and equipment engineering to drive tool/chamber matching initiatives and develop enhanced tool health monitoring techniques using fault detection and classification (FDC). Conduct root cause analysis of process discrepancies and implement effective corrective actions. Present technical data and project updates to peers and management in both casual and formal environments. Exhibit strong communication skills to ensure crisp execution on projects with high efficiency and quality. Ensure work instructions and out‑of‑control action plans are up‑to‑date and area personnel are trained and certified to safely operate the tools. Work one weekend day and occasional off‑shift coverage based on production needs. Qualifications BS in Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or equivalent. 5+ years of experience in a semiconductor environment, specifically within dielectric etch and/or metal etch. Experience with 200mm Applied Materials platform is a plus. Understanding of semiconductor processes and equipment in fabrication. Proficient in technical writing and presentations.
