Hardware & Electrical

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing.

The Senior Engineer supports advanced NAND dry etch process development by improving process windows, optimizing recipes, and troubleshooting yield/quality issues in collaboration with Process Integration and other module teams. The role requires strong experimental discipline (DOE/SPC), structured problem-solving, and the ability to translate technology requirements into production-worthy process improvements.

Main Responsibilities

Perform advanced dry etch process development tasks including process window analysis, recipe optimization, and tool continuous improvement evaluation for 3D NAND technology.

Troubleshoot process issues as part of cross-functional teams to improve yield and quality and take ownership of assigned improvement opportunities.

Collaborate with Process Integration and other process development areas (Wet Etch, CVD/Diffusion, Metals, Lithography, CMP) to develop and integrate solutions.

Conduct root cause / failure mode analysis and work with vendors/suppliers where needed to close hardware/process gaps.

Support pilot-line execution and process transfer activities as required by program needs.

Other Responsibilities

Drive process simplification and incorporate best-known manufacturing methods into early development of upcoming nodes.

Document experiments, results, and learnings; present progress and risks in technical forums.

Integrates AI-assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency, quality, or effectiveness, exercising sound judgment and complying with organizational standards and legal requirements.

Contributes to a culture of continuous improvement by identifying, testing, and sharing AI-enabled enhancements within one’s scope of work.
