Staff Semiconductor Process Integration Engineer

Staff Semiconductor Process Integration EngineerNorthrop Grumman Microelectronics Center (NGMC) Mission Systems Emerging Capabilities Development area seeks to fill a Staff Semiconductor Process Integration Engineer position within our Advanced Technology Lab (ATL). ATL is located just outside of Baltimore, MD - where we design, manufacture, and test semiconductor products for internal and commercial production as well as emerging programs. We have over 21,000 square feet of Class 100 wafer fabrication cleanroom that supports variants of Si; SiGe; GaAs; SiC.At Northrop Grumman's Advanced Technology Lab VARIETY describes the work that our process integration team enjoys. The process integration team at ATL has the chance to work on both production and development programs, as well as troubleshooting and process improvements. Many people on our process integration team work on more than one product/program at once and have exposure to other products as well. The semiconductor process integration group is also an integral part of the foundry process, interfacing with multiple other foundry groups on a daily basis.Roles and Responsibilities:The Staff Semiconductor Process Integration Engineer will be focusing on Superconducting Electronics with opportunities to connect with multiple advanced technologies. The Process Integration Engineer must have an understanding of basic semiconductor processing, especially in Back End of Line (BEOL) process integration with knowledge in yield improvement and defect reduction. This candidate must have an aptitude for hands-on laboratory and experimental work. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are required. The successful candidate may also support program execution for programs within the Micro Systems Technologies portfolio.Join us for the chance to work with an amazing, experienced, and talented team. We are expanding with new work on many development and production programs.Basic Qualifications for Staff Semiconductor Process Integration Engineer:Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Microelectronics, Material Science, Chemistry, Physics or closely related STEM major with 12 years of relevant experience; Master's degree in Engineering, Microelectronics, Material Science, Chemistry, Physics or closely related STEM major with 10 years of relevant experience; with MS, PhD in Engineering, Microelectronics, Material Science, Chemistry, Physics or closely related STEM major with 8 years of relevant experience.Must have an understanding of basic semiconductor processing, especially in Back End of Line (BEOL) process integrationMust have experience with DOE, JMP and statistical analysisMust have experience working with large datasetsMust have prior experience with process improvementPrior experience as a yield engineerMust have an aptitude for hands-on laboratory and experimental work.Must work Monday to Friday; 9/80 availableExperience interfacing with multiple shifts in a 24-7 environmentU.S. Citizenship required.The ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Top Secret/SCI clearance is required.Preferred Qualifications for Staff Semiconductor Process Integration Engineer:TS/ SCI clearanceSemiconductor processing, analog and microwave electronic circuits experienceFEOL, BEOL, Far-BEOL semiconductor fabrication experienceDC test analysis, PCM analysis, and production engineering experienceKnowledge of yield improvement and defect reduction utilizing automated defect inspection tools and software.Experience analyzing devices (MOSFETs, Josephson Junctions)Salary Range: $163,200.00 - $244,800.00 The above salary range represents a general guideline; however, Northrop Grumman considers a number of factors when determining base salary offers such as the scope and responsibilities of the position and the candidate's experience, education, skills and current market conditions.
