Process Integration Engineer

Requisition ID: 5011Job Title: R&D Engineer - Process IntegrationLocation: Covington, GAJob Type: Full-TimeAbout Us: Absolics is a leading provider of advanced packaging technologies and services, offering scalable solutions for businesses of high-performance computing. We offer smart, innovative services to dozens of clients globally. By dedicating our efforts to establishing large glass substrates with built-in active and passive elements, our goal is to provide significant improvement in signaling characteristics and power consumption compared to existing solutions.Job Description:We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Process Integration Engineer to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for orchestrating and integrating critical process steps, such as:dielectric materials selection and applicationlithographywet + dry clean/etch/develop processesPVD and electroplatinginto a coherent, manufacturable process flow for fine-pitch, next-generation packaging architectures. You will support finalizing various Process Integration Plans, defining design rules, managing process window tradeoffs across module boundaries, and be the primary technical decision-maker to help navigate constraints in the full process flow. You will work daily with the lithography, wet/dry process, dielectric, and plating engineers, translating their individual process capabilities into a working end-to-end flow, while also engaging with device/package design teams on architectures feasibility. In an early-stage environment, this role carries enormous influence on the finalized architecture and build-up decisions.Key Responsibilities:Oversee process integration, manage scheduling, and provide comprehensive progress reports to upper management.Develop and implement process integration strategies to optimize production yield and efficiency.Coordinate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of processes.Monitor and analyze process performance, identifying areas for improvement.Ensure compliance with industry standards and safety regulations.Troubleshoot and resolve process-related issues in a timely manner.Maintain detailed documentation of processes and procedures.Generate innovative ideas for patent filings.Required Skills:Demonstrated experience integrating multi-step package build up process flows (SAP and/or damascene), from lithography through metallization and dielectric build-upStrong working knowledge across the full unit-process stack: photolithography, wet/dry etch, PVD seed deposition, dielectric film processing, and electroplating, sufficient to identify cross-process interactions and failure handoffsExperience authoring or owning Process Integration Plans, design rules (line/space, via CD, registration/overlay budgets, taper angle specs), and process flow documentationTrack record of root-causing yield or reliability excursions that span multiple process modules (e.g., seed undercut driving downstream plating defects, via CD variation driving lithography-etch mismatch)Statistical process control and DOE methodology for multi-variable, multi-step process optimizationStrong cross-functional collaboration skills; ability to translate unit-process engineer findings into integration-level decisions and vice versaFamiliarity with metrology and failure analysis techniques across the flow (SEM, FIB cross-section, CD-SEM, overlay metrology, electrical test)Understanding of registration, overlay, and CD budget allocation across sequential build-up layersFluent in English; proficiency in Korean is a plus.Preferred SkillsExperience with glass core substratesDirect experience scaling fine line/space RDL, including via CD control and multi-layer registration challengesExperience with any next-gen architecture enablement: glass core/glass interposer integration, panel-level processing, co-packaged optics, hybrid bonding, or fan-out heterogeneous integrationFamiliarity with bifurcated roadmap considerations (high-performance AI/HPC vs. cost-optimized mainstream paths) and how that shapes architecture and material tradeoffsExperience building DFM (design-for-manufacturing) guidelines in collaboration with package design teamsKnowledge of reliability qualification frameworks (JEDEC, IPC) as they constrain integration choicesFamiliarity with new equipment or process technology evaluation and incorporation into an existing flow (e.g., panel-level CMP, advanced laser/plasma drill, novel dielectric chemistries)Experience presenting integration roadmaps or technical reviews to leadership or cross-functional stakeholdersPublication, patent, or conference presentation record (e.g., ECTC) in RDL/interconnect integrationEducationPh.D. in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related field preferredM.S. with 5+ years of relevant process integration or process engineering experience considered (integration roles typically warrant a higher experience bar than single-unit-process roles)Benefits:401K 6% matching (NO vesting period)Healthcare 100% support (Health, Dental, Vision)Life, STD, LTD 100 % supportCell phone allowancePTO and self-developmentSALARY:$90,000 – $150,000
