Responsibilities

Deliver technology integration and qualification for RF device/process development and drive continuous improvement.

• Develop, optimize, and qualify FEOL and BEOL semiconductor devices and processes to meet performance, cost, and yield targets.
• Drive integration optimization using DOE methodologies, statistical analysis, and yield learning techniques.
• Lead technical process problem-solving and root-cause analysis.
• Define technology design rules, test structures, test methodologies, integration checkpoints, and performance metrics.
• Partner with unit process engineers, failure analysis, and characterization teams to improve device performance and yield.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across cross-functional programs.
• Interact with internal and external customers to respond to technical queries and present results.
• Perform work in compliance with Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, experience, and location requirement.

Must-have:

• 5+ years of experience in semiconductor processing (process development, integration, or related roles).
• Experience in Silicon or SiGe BiCMOS FEOL or BEOL processing and/or semiconductor process development.
• Experience with Cadence or other layout and simulation tools.
• Strong data analysis skills and familiarity with DOE/statistical methods.
• Fluency in English, written and verbal.
• Willingness and ability to relocate to Essex Junction, VT.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience leading device or process development projects.
• Understanding of RF device physics and RF characterization techniques (e.g., S-parameters).
• Experience with process optimization, yield enhancement, and reliability qualification.
• Experience presenting technical results to customers and senior management and working in global matrixed teams.

Education Requirements

Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or another relevant engineering or physical science discipline is preferred. Alternate combinations of education and experience noted in the posting: B.S. with 8–10 years relevant experience; M.S. with ~7 years; Ph.D. with ~5 years of relevant experience.
