Raytheon
Wafer Process Engineer
At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today's mission and stay ahead of tomorrow's threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world. Raytheon Vision Systems (RVS) is a world leader in the research, design, and manufacturing of focal plane arrays and flight-based vision systems. Our Focal Plane Operations Process Engineering department provides world class semiconductor and focal plane array manufacturing processes in support of production and development products. We have an opportunity for a Principal Process Wafer Engineer with a background in semiconductor fabrication including photolithography processing, annealing, thin film deposition, and metrology. The candidate will have familiarity with some, or all aspects of deposition technologies used in semiconductor fabrication and read out integrated circuit processing. The candidate will work with other process engineers and skilled technicians, to develop strategies and processes for detector wafer production technologies, etching technologies, and metrology technologies taking advantage of the in-house systems. The candidate should have technical proficiency in the manufacture of semiconductor components or microelectronics as well as proficiency and comfort in interfacing with multiple functions including Product Engineering, Systems Engineering, Quality, Mechanical Design Engineering, Factory Management, Equipment Engineering, and Process Engineering. What You Will Do Managing process development and improvement projects, including novel processing techniques, yield increase, throughput, and safety improvements Responsible for reviewing material in WIP, certifying operators, dispositioning out of flow material, and hands on processing of novel detector designs Providing process ownership of vacuum coating tools, etch tools, or lithography tools Developing requirements and qualification plans for new equipment procurements Work in a cleanroom environment with full coverall garments Expert experience with wet etch, metal-lift off, lithography, plasma cleaning, and associated semiconductor process equipment Maintain statistical process controls for process optimization; troubleshoot and resolve issues supporting the manufacturing process and improve work center process yields Research new suppliers and technologies for improving production, quality, end cost, and throughput Qualifications You Must Have Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, or a STEM degree and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience. Experience in Process or Manufacturing Engineering in an Optics, Electro-Optics, and/or Microelectronics environment. Qualifications We Prefer Experience with principles of infrared semiconductor fabrication technologies Experience with infrared detector technology and semiconductor physics Project management experience Knowledge of statistical process control and design of experiments Equipment and controls system experience Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail Ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment Strong communication and interpersonal skills Familiarity with a cleanroom work environment (Class 100) Proficiency in engineering computing, including MATLAB, Python, or other related language What We Offer Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
