Senior Process Engineer

Senior EngineerApplied Materials is the global leader in materials science and engineering solutions that are at the foundation of virtually every new semiconductor chip and advanced display in the world. Join us and push the boundaries of materials science and engineering in a company at the foundation of the electronics industry. The work we do together advances the world's technology.As a Senior Engineer with deep expertise in thin film processing, you'll develop atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes for next-generation semiconductor nodes. You'll own ALD process development through process optimization and integration, turning device requirements into robust, manufacturable processes. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with thermal and/or plasma-enhanced ALD and strong systems engineering skills. You'll need a solid technical foundation across materials science, physics, and chemistry to understand precursor behavior, nucleation and growth mechanisms, and growth in complex 3D structures. The ideal candidate will have a strong knowledge of ALD hardware, such as vacuum systems, plasma sources, and precursor delivery that will allow them to collaborate with cross functional teams continuously improve tool design and performance.Role Responsibilities:Design, collect data, analyze, and compile reports on a wide range of complex process engineering experiments for multiple productsUtilize techniques, define methods, and apply new technologies to characterize hardware, and/or perform hardware characterization on a high number of complex systems for multiple productsGenerate internal and external documentation for products, presentations, technical reports and create process engineering specificationsDevelop, plan, and execute process engineering projects, within safety guidelinesTrain engineers in measurement techniques of film properties and guide them in the interpretation of the data, new methodologies, troubleshooting techniques and issue resolutionCommunicate and engage with customers to resolve a broad spectrum of complex process engineering issues, with limited supervisionDesign and implement new technology, products, and analytical instrumentationIdentify, select, and partner with vendors and suppliers with limited to no supervisionLead functional teams or projects, as neededMinimum Qualifications:Bachelor's degree in a related field7-10 years of related experienceDemonstrates conceptual and practical expertise in complex problem solvingTime Type: Full timeEmployee Type: Assignee / RegularTravel: Yes, 10% of the TimeRelocation Eligible: YesThe salary offered to a selected candidate will be based on multiple factors including location, hire grade, job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and with consideration of internal equity of our current team members.
