But we’re more than just a tech company. We value diversity, inclusion and sustainability as we strive to make a positive impact on the world. Our development programs help support your growth, shaping your future and pushing the boundaries of innovation to unleash potential.
As a Senior Process Engineer in our Corporate Research & Development team, you’ll shape the future of atomic layer deposition (ALD) innovation. By combining your technical know-how with a collaborative mindset, you’ll drive new process development from concept through integration, working on technologies that power tomorrow’s logic, memory, and advanced packaging solutions. Your creativity, hands-on experimentation, and clear communication will bring ideas to life—delivering value across teams and customers.
What you will be working on
-
Develop new deposition processes and integration flows for logic, memory, packaging, analog, and power applications.
-
Design and execute experiments; analyze complex data to draw actionable conclusions.
-
Work hands-on with advanced semiconductor tools, optimizing processes and equipment synergy.
-
Collaborate with internal and customer R&D teams to define requirements and successfully deliver project outcomes.
-
Support product transfers and demonstrations across sites, including knowledge sharing and occasional travel.
What we are looking for
-
PhD in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, or materials science, ideally with a thesis linked to semiconductors or thin film technologies. Alternatively, a Master’s degree with several years of relevant industry experience is welcome.
-
Solid foundation in semiconductor device physics, process integration, and cleanroom practices.
-
Proven expertise in thin film deposition techniques such as Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD).
-
Skilled in material and process characterization tools including XPS, AFM, XRD, TEM, ellipsometry, and electrical testing methods.
-
Experience in designing, conducting, and interpreting complex experiments using scientific and statistical methods.
-
Ability to work hands-on with advanced semiconductor R&D tools and equipment.
-
Strong project management skills: capable of taking projects from concept to completion while engaging with cross-functional stakeholders.
-
A proactive communicator who thrives in multidisciplinary, collaborative environments.
What sets you apart
-
Specialized knowledge of 3D integration and advanced packaging concepts such as wafer-to-wafer (W2W) and die-to-wafer (D2W) hybrid bonding, memory-on-memory, logic-on-memory, imager stacking, and low-temperature device architectures.
-
Familiarity with advanced packaging characterization methods such as CSAM, WCA, Maszara test, and 3-point bending.
-
Practical cleanroom experience using lithography, solvent-based wet etch, dry etch, and PVD deposition techniques.
-
Exposure to process development projects that required close interaction between hardware and chemistry optimization.
-
A systems-level thinker with the ability to understand how process innovations impact full integration flows and device performance.
-
Curious and driven by impact: someone who stays on top of scientific trends, explores new ideas with an open mind, and balances creativity with practical execution.
-
Adaptable and growth-oriented, with the motivation to develop both technically and personally in a fast-paced environment.
