Sr. Engineer, Lithography Development (Entry-Level)

About our group:

 

The Lithography Process Development group is looking for an engineer to take responsibility for developing and maintaining a number of Lithography processes. This position reports into the Wafer Process Development Team, located at Seagate's R&D site in Bloomington, MN. 

  
Our team’s mission is to develop new processes for state-of-the-art recording head technology. Recording head process technology encompasses all disciplines employed in semiconductor wafer processes technology, performed in a cleam room environment.

About the role - you will:

 

• Develop new lithography processes on a next generation lithography scanner to achieve design requirements using existing lithography materials or performing material evaluations to bring new materials into the factory. . 

• Maintain existing processes, investigating root cause of process failure, coordinating execution of experiments, and conducting in-depth data analysis 

• Apply problem solving techniques to resolve operational issues with wafer unit processes and development wafer flows to reduce wafer cycle time and scrap 

• Resolve issues in lithography processes including resist coating, optical exposure, resist development and litho related metrology  

• Have the opportunity to work with and learn from a team of experienced engineers with various engineering backgrounds 

About you:

 

• Learn quickly and adapt to change 

• Ability to work well in a team under pressure to deliver a complete solution 

• Clear written and verbal communication 

• Self-direction and ability to work independently 

• Strong attention to detail and clean execution 

Your experience includes:

 

• Hands-on experience in lithography process development. 

• Demonstrated experience and working knowledge in statistics and data analysis 

• Previous experience in recording technology is a plus, but not required. 

• Knowledge of DOE approaches to experiment 

• A PhD engineering or STEM-related degree
