Sr. Principal Semiconductor Equipment & Process Integration Engineer

Location:

Andover, MA – This 1st shift role will be 100% on-site.

We are seeking a highly skilled professional with a broad understanding of microelectronics processing and equipment, particularly in deposition, etch, photolithography, metrology, and process characterization. As an Equipment and Process Integration Engineer, you will collaborate across engineering work centers to manage the complete lifecycle of tool acquisitions—from planning through installation and sustainment.

• Lead, manage, and support projects throughout the capital equipment lifecycle, including source selection, acquisition, facilities infrastructure, installation, qualification, sustainment, and troubleshooting.
• Develop a capital roadmap to identify and implement process and equipment capabilities that enhance wafer capacity, product yield, and next generation technology development.
• Drive initiatives in capital acquisition, process optimization, yield enhancement, rework reduction, equipment cost of ownership, and process development.
• Create and maintain schedules for tool and process qualifications while addressing capacity constraints and identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Collaborate with cross functional teams to understand foundry processes, identify limitations, and improve overall equipment effectiveness and throughput.
• Conduct statistical analysis and manipulate large datasets to define SPC metrics, correlate equipment input parameters with process outputs, and improve yield, cycle time, process capability, and equipment uptime.
• Frequently work directly on the foundry floor to resolve technical issues and interface with teams from operations, facilities, environmental health and safety (EHS), equipment, and quality.

• Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) or an advanced degree in a related field.
• Minimum 8 years of experience in semiconductor processing techniques and capital equipment including photolithography, dry etching, wet chemistry, metal evaporation, sputtering and backside processing.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government-issued security clearance post-start; U.S. citizenship required.

• Experience managing and reporting on projects.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and execute improvement initiatives.
• Excellent communication and coordination skills.
• Familiarity with III-V semiconductor fabrication processes and techniques.
• Experience troubleshooting a wide range of fabrication equipment and establishing equipment qualification and preventive maintenance procedures.
• Strong analytical and data-driven approach to problem solving.
• Proficient in statistical process control and lean manufacturing methods (e.g., Six Sigma).
• Experience in a data analysis software package (e.g., Fab Guard, SQL, JMP).
