What you need
- Ph.D. or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Applied Chemistry, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Semiconductor Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline
- Strong academic foundation in thin-film deposition, surface chemistry, plasma processing, semiconductor materials, vacuum technology, or semiconductor process integration
- Experience requirements: Ph.D. with 4-8+ years of relevant industry experience, or Master's degree with 7-10+ years of relevant industry experience
- Hands-on experience in ALD or PEALD thin-film deposition, preferably with metal oxide and/or metal nitride films or related materials
- Experience in semiconductor device manufacturing, process development, integration, application engineering, or capital equipment industry
- Solid understanding of semiconductor process integration, plasma-surface interactions, thin-film characterization, and high-volume manufacturing requirements for advanced technology nodes
Nice to have
- Experience working directly with key semiconductor accounts such as Samsung, SK hynix, TSMC, Intel, Micron, Sony, imec, Rapidus, or leading China-based customers
- Hands-on experience with PEALD metal oxide or metal nitride systems, especially DCM, QCM, QCM TiO XS, or related ALD/PEALD platforms
- Experience leading customer technology evaluations for patterning spacer, hard mask, liners, optical materials, bonding layers, or emerging metal hard mask applications
- Ability to influence cross-functional teams and drive technical strategy across process development, product marketing, hardware engineering, service, GPS/TPS, and account teams
- Deep understanding of how PEALD enables low-temperature processing, high conformality, atomic-level thickness control, tunable film properties, and differentiated Integration solutions versus PVD, PECVE, or thermal ALD approaches
Worth weighing
- No salary listed
- Role involves significant customer interaction and travel to customer sites
- Training period of approximately 6 months in Japan or Korea research and development centers
- Focus on advanced semiconductor technologies which may require keeping up with rapid industry changes
