About the role
As a Process Development Engineer at Atomic Semi, you'll be responsible for experiment design and execution of new fabrication methods.

Candidates should have hands-on cleanroom experience and a track record of developing and optimizing lithography recipes from scratch.
Responsibilities
- Work in the lab to design and run experiments alongside senior process engineers
- Read academic papers and technical literature to inform experimental design; whiteboard ideas and iterate quickly
- Learn and operate a range of semiconductor tools, primarily focused on lithography systems (contact aligners, steppers, electron-beam)
- Develop, transfer, and optimize process recipes across platforms with a focus on consistency, yield, and throughput
- Analyze process data, troubleshoot recipe or equipment issues, and clearly document findings and results for the team
Required Experience
- BS, MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering or related field.
- Recipe development and optimization for lithography tools.
- Hands-on cleanroom experience with multiple photoresists.
- Hands-on experience using a SEM.
