Semiconductor Manufacturing Process Engineer

Vue Real is a Waterloo-based semiconductor technology company developing next-generation microLED displays, sensors and optoelectronic applications using our proprietary Micro Solid Printing™ platform. We bring advanced device technologies from development into scalable manufacturing.

Join a collaborative team where your hands‑on engineering expertise can make a direct impact on fab performance, product quality and manufacturing scale-up.

Your Opportunity at Vue Real:

We're looking for a hands‑on Semiconductor Process Engineer with strong photolithography experience and the versatility to support multiple fab processes. You'll own and improve lithography processes, troubleshoot equipment, increase yield and partner with R&D and Operations to bring new processes into repeatable production.

YOUR Day-to-day Responsibilities:

Operate, troubleshoot and optimize photolithography equipment, including spin coaters, mask aligners and/or maskless exposure systems, as applicable.
Support daily fab operations to meet production throughput, quality and yield targets.
Develop, qualify and optimize photoresist coating, exposure, development and pattern‑transfer processes.
Monitor critical process parameters using SPC, DOE and capability metrics, targeting Cpk ≥ 1.33 where applicable.
Identify root causes of defects and lead corrective actions to improve yield, repeatability and process stability.
Develop and deliver lithography yield‑improvement initiatives with clear milestones and measurable outcomes.
Integrate lithography with upstream and downstream processes, working with wet processing, deposition, etch and metrology teams.
Support equipment qualification, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting and recovery after tool downtime.
Support NPI and R&D-to-manufacturing transfer, including new processes, materials and equipment evaluation.
Maintain clear process recipes, SOPs, work instructions and production documentation.
Collaborate with Engineering and Operations teams while maintaining cleanroom safety and process‑control standards.

The TOOLS and Skills You Need to Do the Job:

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science or a related field, or an equivalent combination of relevant education and practical experience.
Minimum 3 years of hands‑on photolithography or semiconductor process engineering experience, preferably in a production cleanroom.
Experience operating, troubleshooting and optimizing lithography equipment and photoresist coating, exposure and development processes.
Experience developing, maintaining or qualifying semiconductor manufacturing recipes and resolving process issues.
Strong knowledge of cleanroom safety, SPC, DOE and data‑driven process optimization.
Ability to collaborate across multiple fab modules and communicate technical findings clearly.

Preferred Qualifications:

Hands‑on experience with at least one additional fab process: PVD/sputtering, wet etching/cleaning, RIE/ICP, PECVD or other deposition processes.
Experience in equipment qualification, process integration, metrology or yield improvement.
Experience using manufacturing execution systems (MES) and statistical process capability analysis.
Experience supporting NPI, production ramp‑up or technology transfer from R&D to manufacturing.
Exposure to microLED, MEMS, photonics, optoelectronics, DUV, maskless or nanoimprint lithography.

WHY Vue Real:

Collaborative, innovative team where your practical engineering ideas can make a difference.
Opportunities to work across semiconductor tools, processes and technologies.
Hands‑on involvement in process development and manufacturing scale‑up.
Paid vacation.
Sick, personal and paid parental leave, subject to company policy.
