Process Sustaining Engineer

The Process Engineering group is seeking entry‑level or early‑career engineer to join our Camas manufacturing team. This role is well suited for recent graduates (0–3 years of experience) or engineers transitioning from another technical field who are motivated to build a career in the semiconductor industry.

Role Overview:

Process Engineers in the Camas fab play a critical role in improving yield, reducing cost and complexity, and sustaining high‑volume semiconductor manufacturing processes. Engineers lead cross‑functional problem‑solving and continuous improvement initiatives, support the introduction of new devices, and ensure stable performance of existing processes. The Camas fab operates in a 24/7 manufacturing environment, requiring flexibility, strong ownership, and a commitment to continuous learning in a fast‑paced, dynamic setting.

Key Responsibilities:

• Improve process yield, quality, and manufacturability while reducing cost and operational complexity

• Lead and participate in cross‑functional continuous improvement and root‑cause problem‑solving activities

• Develop, adapt, and qualify processes and toolsets for new semiconductor devices

• Sustain and optimize established manufacturing processes in high‑volume production

• Apply statistical methods and SPC to monitor and improve process performance

• Support factory throughput, efficiency, and environmental performance goals

• Safely operate and process wafers in a cleanroom manufacturing environment

• Represent the organization on projects and, as appropriate, provide technical or project leadership to less‑experienced team members

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, or a related discipline

• 0–3 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, with exposure to Dry Etch, Wet Etch, and/or Clean process technologies

• Ability to analyze complex problems, develop technical solutions, and support technology transfer and tool qualification

• Demonstrated ability to work with limited direction, identify issues, and define approaches to resolution

• Strong understanding of statistical process control (SPC), manufacturing throughput, efficiency, and engineering statistics

• Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills; ability to effectively communicate with and influence diverse audiences ranging from technicians to senior leadership

• Proven ability to contribute to organizational goals and drive improvements in quality, productivity, throughput, cost, and process robustness

• Comfortable working in a cleanroom environment and adhering to all safety and environmental requirements
