Senior CMP Engineer

Job Title

Senior CMP Engineer

Role Summary

Join Entegris' Material Solutions Engineering team to develop, qualify, and transfer chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) solutions for semiconductor customers. The role partners with R&D, field and manufacturing teams to design experiments, analyze results, and implement robust CMP processes.

Experience Level

Senior - posting specifies 3–5 years of relevant CMP or semiconductor experience; role includes technical leadership and mentorship responsibilities.

Responsibilities

Principal duties include leading CMP development projects, designing experiments, analyzing results, and transferring solutions to manufacturing and customers.

• Lead development of CMP solutions for complex customer and technology challenges.
• Design, plan, and execute complex CMP polishing experiments and establish process windows.
• Analyze experimental data and identify practical, implementable solutions.
• Drive cross-functional projects from problem definition through solution implementation.
• Prepare and present technical reports and presentations for internal teams and customers.
• Act as a technical resource for CMP processing, consumables, and polishing processes.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less-experienced engineers.
• Identify opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement in CMP methods and processes.

Requirements

Must-have technical experience and skills needed to perform the role.

• 3–5 years of relevant CMP or semiconductor experience, with demonstrated ability to lead technical projects.
• In-depth understanding of CMP processes and the impact of consumables (slurry, pads, conditioning disk) on performance.
• Experience with DOE, statistical analysis, and data-driven process optimization.
• Proven problem-solving skills using structured methodologies (for example, Six Sigma, 8-D).
• Project management experience and familiarity with semiconductor device integration schemes.
• Strong written, verbal, and technical presentation skills.
• Self-motivated, curious, and able to work across multiple functions.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States; Entegris does not provide immigration sponsorship for this role.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline such as Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics, Semiconductor Engineering, or a related engineering/science field. An advanced degree (Master's or PhD) is a plus.
