Process Engineer - Glass Core Technology

Process Engineer - Glass Core Technology Founded in 1976, Samtec is a privately held, $950 million global manufacturer of abroad line of electronic interconnect solutions, including High-Speed Board-to-Board,High-Speed Cables, Mid-Board and Panel Optics, Precision RF, Flexible Stacking, andMicro/Rugged components and cables. Samtec Technology Centers are dedicated todeveloping and advancing technologies, strategies and products to optimize both theperformance and cost of a system from the bare die to an interface 100 meters away,and all interconnect points in between. With 40+ international locations and productssold in more than 125 different countries, Samtec’s global presence enables itsunmatched customer service. THIS POSITION WILL BE ONSITE AT SAMTEC'S HEADQUARTERS IN NEW ALBANY, IN Summary/Objective: The GCT process engineer will be responsible for owning and maintaining glass wafer process flows. This will entail developing and maintaining new processes, materials and troubleshooting issues with existing process/product flows. This position will require great communication skills, solid wafer processing knowledge, and the ability to work cross-functionally within GCT and the greater Samtec team. Responsibilities: Engineering ownership of GCT processes, glass wafer process development, and implementation in either CMP, Litho, or Plating processes, including: Through glass via (TGV) fabrication and filling technologies Wafer-based fabrication processes to allow electrical, optical, and fluidic interconnects Work with internal customers to transition new products from first-time builds through scale up to reliable production processes while maintaining Samtec’s sudden service principles. Create, simplify and improves processes in fab operations including lithography, deposition (Plating), and/or CMP. Characterize wafers using optical microscopy, SEM/EDS, FIB/SEM, XRD, XRF, and electrical test. Design and execute DOEs to advance new materials and processes. Statistical analysis using software e.g., JMP (custom / screening DOEs) and Minitab. Pull large datasets (SQL, MongoDB) and synthesize data into actionable improvements to enhance product yield. Collaborate with a team of scientists and engineers to develop new materials and processes for glass wafer processing. Requirements: 5+ years of process and equipment experience in wafer/panel engineering and wafer/panel fabrication in one or more of the following unit operations: CMP, i-line Photolithography, or electroplating. Must be a self-starter. Expertise with Glass, Silicon, Semiconductor, or Hard drive wafer/panel processes and/or development and high-volume manufacturing strongly desired. Ability to communicate clearly and effectively with operators and management. Ability to meet International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) compliance requirements. Strong technical and verbal/written communication skills. Understanding and application of SPC methods and control techniques. Excellent problem sovling skills – able to quickly identify root cause and implement permanent corrective actions. Preferred Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in an Engineering discipline ( Materials Science, Chemical or Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or related) #J-18808-Ljbffr Samtec, Inc
