Job Summary:

An exciting opportunity has opened for a Semiconductor Foundry Work Center Lead for the III-V process development engineering team in our Development Fab working on gallium nitride-based devices and III-V focal plane array fabrication within the Advanced Microelectronics Solutions (AMS) Department.  This role requires a broad understanding of microelectronics wafer fabrication and processing techniques such as deposition, etch, lithography, backside, materials characterization, and metrology with expertise in one or more of these areas. 

The chosen candidate is expected to have excellent leadership skills to guide the process development team and to serve as the main interface of the development fab with technical leads, Integrated Product Team leads, and functional management. The ideal candidate is expected to be an innovative and creative thinker across a variety of III-V compound semiconductor technologies and wafer fabrication processing including microelectronics processing techniques of deposition, etch, lithography, backside, materials characterization, and metrology.

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• Lead a small team of development engineers by providing leadership and technical guidance in the production of novel semiconductor materials and devices.

• Support the research and development efforts of the department by managing priorities and wafer movement through the Development Fab.
• Coordinate with and report to technical leads and project managers on the status of experiments within the Development Fab.
• Propose and manage overhead projects for the growth and sustainment of the Development Fab.
• Interface with the operations management to advocate and coordinate the Development Fab access on production wafer fabrication toolsets.
• Manage the budget and scheduling of the equipment maintenance and repair of the Development Fab toolset while developing the road map for the future capital equipment.
