  • Drive multi-functional execution across Technology Development, Process Integration, and Manufacturing.
  • Develop and innovate dry etch processes to meet structural and electrical specifications for advanced NAND devices.
  • Lead First-Of-a-Kind (FOAK) dry etch process development, including recipe architecture, EPD strategy, control plans, and integration alignment.
  • Establish tool redundancy, run-to-run controls, and E3 monitors to improve process robustness and manufacturability.
  • Independently meet Process maturity, CSPEC, SPC, and qual criteria and timelines for owned process levels.
  • Provide clear technical status and risk updates to program stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with equipment and supplier teams to define and implement process-level hardware roadmaps.
  • Apply model-based and data-driven problem solving to resolve complex yield, defectivity, and integration issues.

Requirements

  • Proven ability to lead Dry Etch technology and critical module development.
  • Strong technical expertise in advanced dry etch processes for NAND technologies.
  • Ability to work closely with Wet Etch, CVD, Diffusion, Metals, Lithography & CMP process areas.
  • Experience owning a process roadmap to meet aggressive program and yield goals.
  • Proficiency in technical problem-solving using model-based and data-driven approaches.
  • Ability to mentor junior engineers on technical problem solving and plasma etch fundamentals.
