At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.

An exciting opportunity exists at Raytheon for a Principal Semiconductor Fab In-Process RF Test Engineer to join our semiconductor foundry engineering team within the RF Microelectronics/Module Development & Foundry Services Department. The successful candidate in this role would work with a group of skilled RF test engineers to test advanced microelectronic devices in accordance with various technology roadmaps in support of Raytheon’s business pursuits.

These road maps consist of both near term efforts on the cusp of transition-to-production, as well as longer term development efforts that maintain a pipeline of innovation. The ideal candidate will possess experience in production testing and III-V semiconductor processing, with a preference for expertise in GaAs, GaN, GaSb, or acoustic devices.

Presence on the foundry floor is essential for understanding technical and logistical issues. The role requires a large degree of multitasking with attention to detail while managing priorities depending on the nature of the problems and the commitments to customers and programs.

This role will be 100% on-site and based in Andover, MA.

What You Will Do:

• Perform and supervise in-process RF measurements on GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) and GaN (Gallium Nitride) MMICs, transistors and test structures.
• Improve test procedures and work to improve test-related product yield issues.
• Consult on new equipment purchases and work to increase test speed, accuracy, and through-put.
• Drive install, qualification, and process matching of new test equipment in the foundry
  Trouble-shoot test issues and mentor test engineers

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Typically requires a Bachelors Degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) Field.
• Over ten (10) years of relevant experience in RF semiconductor testing. (An advanced STEM degree could count for up to 3 years of experience).
• The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance. U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

Qualifications We Prefer:

• A Master’s degree or PhD. in a Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) Field
• Experience working with GaAs, GaN, GaSb, and/or acoustic semiconductor processes
• Demonstrated experience in semiconductor process engineering, specifically in production in-process test
• Extensive experience in the development of test systems and associated software
• Knowledge of Statistical Process control and related SPC software
• Knowledge of root cause analysis techniques
• Strong analytical skills
• Customer focus and collaboration skills
• Previous experience with a defense contractor and/or government agency.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Current DoD Secret level security clearance
