** Job Description

Summary:

** This role is intended for a recognized technical expert who can operate beyond the scope of an individual process engineer and serve as a technical leader across the broader manufacturing organization.
We are seeking a highly experienced Principal Process Engineer to provide technical leadership across advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes, metal etch, copper plating, sputter deposition, MEMS DBI, process integration, yield improvement, process standardization, and new product introduction (NPI). The Principal Process Engineer will lead complex technical initiatives, establish process direction, mentor engineers, drive cross-functional problem solving, and develop scalable manufacturing processes and standards.
Process Engineering & Technical Leadership    Provide technical leadership and subject matter expertise for semiconductor manufacturing processes, with emphasis on:

• Demonstrated practical experience with fab processes including integration of problem solving across processes even those outside of primary expertise. Provide technical breadth (best practice incorporation, problem solving, creativity, technical communication) across Metal etch, Copper plating/electroplating, MEMS DBI, Sputter deposition, and upstream, downstream process flows.

• Demonstrated and sustained hands-on experience with innovation across multiple projects to solve problems. Identifies opportunities to build new capabilities and grow existing capabilities through deep understanding of appropriate or novel solutions and techniques.

• Demonstrated confidence and success leading meetings with internal and external stakeholders.  
• Establish technical direction for process development, optimization, qualification, and continuous improvement activities.  
• Translate technical findings into actionable manufacturing strategies and process improvements.
Manufacturing Process Standardization    
• Lead efforts to standardize semiconductor manufacturing processes across the organization.  
• Partner with engineering and operations leadership to ensure standardized processes are implemented and sustained.
Mentoring & Engineering Development    
• Mentor Senior Process Engineers, Process Engineers, and developing technical staff.  
• Help establish engineering best practices and expectations across the process engineering organization.
