Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.Job Summary:We have an exciting opportunity for a Semiconductor Engineering Deposition Lead to join our III-V compound semiconductor foundry team fabricating gallium nitride and gallium arsenide-based devices within the Advanced Microelectronics Solutions (AMS) Department. This role requires a broad understanding of microelectronics processing and subject matter expertise in one or more deposition related techniques including e-beam evaporation, sputtering, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), and atomic layer deposition (ALD).As a member of the AMS Department, the individual in this role will serve as the deposition processes lead engineer and collaborate with the various engineering work centers in the III-V semiconductor wafer foundry. The candidate will lead and assist projects in process sustainment, capital allocation, directing process and capital qualifications, improving cycle time, improving product yield, developing new data driven controls, and driving overall wafer movement efficiency. The chosen candidate is expected to be an innovative and creative thinker capable of probing issues and reaching solutions both independently and in a team environment. The ideal candidate will have working knowledge of various microelectronics processing techniques beyond deposition, including wet and dry etching, lift-off techniques, photolithography, metrology, process characterization, foundry data integrity, and large data analysis methods.The candidate is expected to work well in large and small, cross-functional teams, understand foundry processes, determine capacity limitations, improve overall equipment effectiveness, identify yield improvement opportunities, gather sponsorship and team resources, and execute on continuous improvement activities. Presence on the foundry floor is essential for quick resolution of technical issues as well as the ability to work with operations, facilities, equipment, and quality teams. The role requires a large degree of multitasking with attention to detail while managing priorities depending on the nature of the problems and the commitments.This role will be 100% on-site and based in Andover, MA.Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• Sustainment of current deposition production processes and involvement with development of new process
• Set and report center priorities at the 8am foundry tier meeting
• Identify process improvement opportunities
• Lead 8Ds and RCCAs
• Create, document, maintain and approve work instructions
• Assist process engineers in training users and operators on semiconductor processes and equipment
• Manipulate large datasets and use statistical analysis to define SPC controls, manage projects, and assign risk
• Develop and report on actionable deposition work center health metrics
