Implant Process Engineer

Job Title

Implant Process Engineer

Role Summary

The Implant Process Engineer develops, optimizes, and sustains ion implantation processes for high-volume semiconductor manufacturing. This role partners with equipment engineering, integration, yield, and manufacturing teams to ensure robust process performance, yield stability, and safe execution in a fab environment.

Experience Level

Entry-level (early career). The role expects approximately 2+ years of semiconductor manufacturing experience with implant process ownership or development.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include development, qualification, and ongoing support of ion implantation processes to meet production and yield targets.

• Own implant process development, control plans, process specs, and inline metric targets.
• Drive yield and defect reduction using SPC, data analysis, and structured root cause methods.
• Lead process change reviews, risk assessments, and process qualifications.
• Collaborate with equipment engineering, integration teams, and vendors to align process requirements and tool capabilities.
• Use inline metrology and data-driven monitoring to shorten learning cycles and improve cycle time.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and work environment requirements. Preferred skills listed as "nice-to-have."

• 2+ years of semiconductor manufacturing experience working on implant processes or equivalent military experience.
• Practical experience with statistical process control (SPC), data analysis, and root cause investigation.
• Experience performing process change reviews, risk assessments, and qualifications in a fab environment.
• Ability to work on-site in a manufacturing environment.
• Willingness to learn and apply Agentic AI tools to improve workflow efficiency.
• Good collaboration and communication skills to work with equipment, integration, yield, and vendors.
• Nice-to-have: programming or data analysis experience (Python, JMP, SQL); experience supporting high-volume manufacturing; familiarity with DOE, FMEA, and process qualification methodologies.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering (Chemical, Electrical, Materials), Physics, or a related technical field is listed as preferred. An Associate degree with 5+ years of relevant industry experience or equivalent military experience is also specified as acceptable alternative pathways.
