Process Engineer, Chemical and Mechanical Polish (CMP)

General Function:

The Chemical and Mechanical Polish (CMP) Process Development Engineer is responsible to help support the development of manufacturable, repeatable, and high yielding processes for state-of-the-art highly specialized devices in the fields of Aerospace, Defense, Bioelectronics, and High-Speed Communications. The CMP Process Development Engineer must have a very hands-on mindset and be an excellent communicator. Furthermore the candidate must have an engineering degree (MS or PhD) and a broad knowledge in either Electrical Engineering, Material & Science or Chemistry.

This is a rare opportunity to develop Semiconductor Engineering skills with a highly motivated, high performance technical team on highly differentiated, and disruptive technologies.

Position’s Purpose:

The candidate will provide technical and sustaining engineering support in both development and manufacturing areas. The CMP Process Development Engineer will also recommend and implement equipment and process modifications to improve production efficiencies, manufacturing techniques or production yields for existing products.

The candidate will develop and conduct statistical analysis, such as Design of Experiments (DOE) or Statistical Process Control (SPC), targeting physical cause of failure for yield loss and improving quality. The CMP Process Development Engineer will interact with Senior Process Development Engineers, Product Design and Process Integration personnel to ensure that processes and designs are compatible.

Over a short period of time, the candidate must have the ability to develop a strong understanding of all major process modules (mostly in Cu polish, Ta polish, W polish, Glass polish, SiO2 Polish, Si and amorphous polish, and polyimide polish, including post polish slurry surface cleaning with either system integrated wafer scrubbers and off-line wafer scrubbers, etc).

The CMP Process Development Engineer must also be able to understand and protect both customer and Skorpios IP while simultaneously developing new IP. The candidate is expected to work collaboratively with Skorpios’ Integration team, Operations team, Maintenance team, and Development team in order to execute project plans and complete company deliverables.
