General Atomics
Overview
General Atomics (GA), and its affiliated companies, is one of the world’s leading resources for high-technology systems development ranging from the nuclear fuel cycle to remotely piloted aircraft, airborne sensors, and advanced electric, electronic, wireless and laser technologies.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Semiconductor Process Engineer. Under general supervision and with regular review, this position supports semiconductor process development.
Responsibilities
Collaborate with and support engineering staff in performing R&D tasks related to microelectronic device development
Conduct hands-on operation of state of the art microfabrication equipment including: stepper, mask aligner, spin coater, optical microscope, FTIR, ellipsometer, e-beam evaporator, thermal evaporator, PECVD, RIE, and device probe stations
Work in cleanroom laboratory and maintain day-to-day lab operations within cleanroom
Use metrology inspection tools to analyze and confirm device and wafer processing parameters
Perform Materials Analysis using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and X-Ray Fluorescence spectroscopy to verify process integrity
Assist in research on new materials that could be used to produce microelectronic devices, advanced sensors, thin film transistors and other devices of interest
Conduct hands-on operation of thin film deposition equipment to produce thin film materials and perform process development
Perform other duties as assigned or required
We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.
Qualifications
Typically requires a bachelors degree, masters degree or PhD in engineering or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution and progressive engineering experience as follows; four or more years of experience with a bachelors degree or two or more years of experience with a masters degree. May substitute equivalent engineering experience in lieu of education.
Experience in device processing techniques including photolithography, etching, metal and dielectric film deposition, material and device analysis, and process development is required
A degree in chemistry, physics or materials science is desirable
Experience with semiconductor device processing is desired
Materials Analysis experience using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and X-Ray Fluorescence spectroscopy is desired
Must possess the ability to understand new concepts quickly and apply them accurately throughout an evolving environment and organize work assignments to meet established timetables
Must have strong communication, computer, documentation, presentation, and interpersonal skills, the ability to work independently and as part of a team
Able to respond quickly to project needs for data and analysis, i.e., able to work early and/or late hours when required by urgent project needs.
Ability for some travel as required (generally less than 10%).
Perform other duties as assigned or required.
Ability to obtain and maintain a DOD security clearance is required.
