Coating Process Engineer / Manager - Advanced Materials Innovation
Are you ready to push the boundaries of coating technology? We're looking for a talented Coating Process Engineer who thrives on precision, innovation, and solving complex materials challenges for our client. In this role, you'll be the technical expert driving the development of cutting-edge coating and thermal processes that enable breakthrough advanced packaging solutions.
What You'll Do Pioneer Advanced Coating Solutions
Develop and optimize state-of-the-art coating processes for photoresist and advanced dielectric materials (PID, PI, ABF) on sophisticated package substrates
Engineer uniform coating parameters that deliver exceptional layer thickness consistency and adhesion performance
Design and fine-tune thermal curing profiles across the entire process window—from soft bake through final cure—ensuring optimal material properties
Own Your Technology Platform
Define specifications for next-generation coating equipment, hot plates, and curing ovens
Lead equipment installation, qualification, and optimization efforts
Partner with leading equipment vendors to drive preventive maintenance strategies and implement performance upgrades
Ensure maximum tool uptime through proactive troubleshooting and performance monitoring
Drive Quality and Process Excellence
Deploy advanced metrology techniques using ellipsometry, thickness gauges, and thermal sensors to maintain tight process control
Implement sophisticated process control systems including SPC charts and run-to-run feedback mechanisms
Validate critical material properties: adhesion strength, thermal stability, compatibility, and outgassing behavior
Lead defect prevention initiatives and root cause investigations for coating and baking-related issues
Enable Seamless Integration
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure your coating processes integrate flawlessly with upstream and downstream operations
Work closely with substrate technology teams on advanced applications including Damascene, SAP, ABF build-up, and Embedding technologies
Support process stability across the entire manufacturing flow
Build Technical Infrastructure
Create comprehensive technical documentation including SOPs, process specifications, recipes, and FMEAs
Establish robust process control plans that ensure consistent, repeatable results
Champion compliance with environmental, safety, and chemical handling standards
Leverage DOE and statistical tools to drive data-driven optimization
What You'll Bring Required Qualifications
Education:
PhD or Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Microelectronics, or related field
Experience:
5–10+ years developing coating and thermal processes in semiconductor manufacturing, PCB, or advanced substrate environments
Technical Expertise
Deep understanding of coating materials and chemistries: photoresists, ABF, polyimide (PI), solder mask, and related advanced materials
Hands-on experience with substrate technologies such as Damascene, SAP (Semi-Additive Process), ABF build-up, or Embedding
Proficiency with metrology tools and techniques: ellipsometry, film thickness measurement, thermal profiling
Strong foundation in thermal process development including soft bake, hard bake, PEB, and final cure optimization
Professional Skills
Outstanding analytical and problem-solving abilities with proven expertise in Design of Experiments (DOE) and Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Excellent troubleshooting skills with a track record of resolving complex equipment and process issues
Demonstrated ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-volume production or R&D environments
Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and effective communication across technical disciplines
