Job Description:

Description

As a Photolithography Equipment and Process Engineer with Broadcom Limited’s Wireless Semiconductor Division (WSD), you will own and support equipment used to develop advanced processes in our existing high volume Si MEMS production facilities located along the Front Range Mountains in Northern Colorado. You will team with Technology Development and Process Engineering to achieve this objective.  The team will be challenged by new materials, applications and device architectures.  You will be responsible for establishing robust equipment and processes through rigorous characterization and statistical validation before ramping them into high volume manufacturing. We are looking to hire a talented, highly motivated engineer responsible for challenging and rewarding work.

Responsibilities

·        Provide technical leadership in identifying, evaluating, improving and maintaining equipment.

·        Equipment engineering ownership for various platforms and opportunity for process ownership for right skillset

·        New equipment selection, acceptance and start-up as well as hardware and software optimization/upgrades; conferring with equipment vendors and manufacturing engineers at Broadcom Limited.

·        Develop and implement preventative, predictive and high precision maintenance procedures.  Implementation includes documenting procedures, as well as training and certifying personnel.

·        Collaborate with Process Engineering and R&D to conceptualize and progress opportunities that enable continued technological leadership; working across roles & teams, both internal and external, to deliver benefit to the business.

·        Yield, quality and cost improvements to existing unit processes and equipment, to deliver highly robust and consistent results in collaboration with equipment maintenance and operational organizations.

·        Development and characterization of robust solutions to R&D needs in collaboration with development engineering groups.

·        Experimental design and data analysis to support the line sustaining work, process development and equipment improvements. Solid identification and resolution of yield and defect issues with clear communication of results across the organization.

·        Work with peers and the process engineering/maintenance teams to establish project objectives, schedules and resource profiles for projects. Organizes and manages longer term improvement projects to meet organizational goals.

·        Implement robust monitoring methodologies enabling early detection of excursions in equipment performance before product is impacted (e.g. SPC, FDC, baselining & matching).

Qualifications:

·        BS in EE, ME, ChE, Materials Science, Physics or Chemistry and 5+ years of related experience. Or Ms in EE, ME, ChE, Material Sciences, Physics or Chemistry and 3+ years related experience.

·        Expertise in photolithography.  This is not an entry level position.

·        Proficiency in a wide variety of photolithography tools. Experience with TEL_ACT8 and PAS5500 equipment highly desirable

·        Expertise in engineering fundamentals for all areas of fab processing

·        Understanding of general processing techniques and concepts for silicon based MEMS devices applications including interdependencies with other unit processes.

·        Strength in Statistical Process Control for a high volume manufacturing facility. Mature data ana
