- Build and develop a curious, skilled and highly-adaptable engineering team with an innovative mindset and internal customer focus.
- Work with head design, wafer process development and production engineering partner groups to define gaps for future product nodes (typically n+3 and beyond).
- Create and maintain a roster of development projects needed to close key gaps.
- Supervise project conception, prioritization, assignment and execution of projects with emphasis on technology readiness level 0 through 4 (conception through M0).
- Invent and optimize novel unit process and integration modules required to support TRL level migrations.
- Engage with equipment suppliers for specification, demonstration, selection, and delivery of new process and measurement tools.
- Work with NRM partner groups to coordinate time-sharing of RD process equipment to support advanced project needs.
- Oversee support for wafer builds needed to achieve quality, velocity, shipment and scrap goals in pursuit of TRL closures.
- Participate in downstream data and failure analyses to inform unit process and device performance improvements.
- Support transfers of successful new technologies to product development team.
- Collaborate on tool configurations and consumables, conduct TRRs and coordinate training of product development staff to ensure independent ownership.

- 7+ years’ hands-on experience in device wafer processing, nanofabrication and/or advanced thin film materials development.
- In-depth understanding of wafer-scale unit processes (deposition, etch, lithography, wet processing, etc) and device integration techniques (CAD, targeting, defect resolution, upstream test, yield improvement, etc).
- Familiarity/expertise with a wide variety of laboratory techniques and HVM-capable wafer equipment platforms.
- Leadership experience within a technology development organization, either in functional technical management or team leadership roles.
- Experience working cross-site and either mentoring or directing the work of junior technical staff is highly desirable.
- Demonstrated success in innovation in unit process, module or device engineering, including a proven track record of delivering innovations from concept to proof-of-concept and pilot scale.
