About this role
What you will do
- Manage and optimize thin-film and wafer metrology tools, developing automated measurement recipes and ensuring equipment stability, quality, throughput, and safety.
- You will be a member of the in-Line Metrology Process Engineering team.
- This team is responsible for the standard metrology processes and tools in the cleanroom.
- As a process engineer you will be responsible for multiple tools with a focus on thin film & wafer metrology.
- You will work on different measurement techniques like ellipsometry, reflectivity, wafer shape (bow, warp), four-point-probe (sheet resistance), microHall, etc.
- You will create the automated measurement recipes on your tools which will be run by the operators afterwards.
- You are the expert on the applications that you own and support the customers with your expertise.
- You own multiple metrology equipment, and you will be responsible for process & tool qualification, the stability, and problem prevention as well as improvements in efficiency, throughput, safety and quality.
- You will troubleshoot issues related to the metrology processing together with your colleagues.
- You will communicate effectively with the stakeholders via multiple channels (IT systems, meetings, mail, etc.) You will work in a dynamic multidisciplinary and multicultural environment in close cooperation with researchers, hardware engineers, operations, industry assignees, device and process experts.
- You will work in a shift regime, working in two shifts (Early/Late) including 1weekend (Sat + Sun) out of 4, to support the operations department which is working 24/7.
Who you are
- You obtained a Master in Science or Engineering or equal by experience and display strong engineering skills and mindset.
- PhD’s without industry relevant experience will not be considered.
- A solid theoretical foundation and hands-on experience in one or more of the techniques listed below is an asset: Ellipsometry, wafer shape metrology, sheet resistance.
- Knowledge of the following techniques is a plus: MOKE, FMR, CIPT, MH, XRR, XRD.
- As timing is critical in our business, we are looking for people who can evaluate and respond effectively to incoming requests and issues in a timely matter.
- A proactive mindset and flexibility is key.
- As you will work in cross functional teams, strong proactive communication and reporting skills are required.
