Senior

Responsibilities

Accountable for defined wet process workstreams, experiment execution, margin improvement, integration, and process governance.

• Develop and optimize unit wet processes to meet yield and quality targets for advanced NAND part types.
• Plan, execute, and analyze experiments (DOE/SPC) to widen process margins and validate manufacturability for next-node solutions.
• Quantify benefits of process or equipment innovations and enable early adoption where appropriate.
• Integrate and troubleshoot processes within cross-functional teams to drive yield and quality improvements.
• Collaborate with Technology Development peers on technology choices and translate device needs into process requirements.
• Support supplier evaluations, hardware testing, and fundamental research; contribute to technical reporting and IP generation when applicable.
• Design and implement process monitoring and control methodologies; maintain clear experiment records and technical documentation.
• Identify process simplification and manufacturability improvements and support cross-functional implementation.
• Incorporate AI-assisted tools and insights to improve analysis efficiency and support continuous improvement within scope.

Requirements

Key technical and interpersonal requirements for successful performance in this role.

• Must-have technical: Strong foundation in chemistry, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and mass transport.
• Must-have technical: Experience with DOE/SPC and data-analysis systems (example: Y3) to analyze experimental outcomes.
• Must-have technical: Working knowledge of memory process flow, including planar and vertical NAND contexts.
• Must-have soft skills: Cross-functional collaboration, concise communication, and ability to prioritize in a dynamic environment.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with supplier engagement, hardware evaluations, IP generation, process monitoring/control methodologies, and integrating AI-enabled tools into workflow.

Education Requirements
