Job / Role Summary

The Staff Engineer delivers module/sub-module ownership in NAND Advanced Thin Films process development, owning defined portions of the process space (dielectric/carbon film processes via CVD/Diffusion) and driving robustness, capability, and integration readiness. Success requires strong hands-on deposition/characterization skills, cross-functional execution discipline, and the ability to translate experimental results into scalable process improvements.

Main Responsibilities Process Development & Optimization

• Develop, optimize, and characterize thin film processes (CVD/Diffusion) to meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability targets.

• Execute well-designed experiments, analyze data, and translate results into process improvements.

• Support scaling of dielectric and carbon film processes across nodes and platforms.

Module Ownership (Growing Scope)

• Own defined portions of a process module or sub-module under guidance from senior engineers; track margins, sensitivities, and integration risks.

• Drive issue resolution for process and tool-related problems within assigned scope.

Process Integration & Correlation

• Work closely with integration and device teams to ensure compatibility and structural/electrical performance.

• Correlate material, structural, and electrical data to guide process optimization; support failure analysis and root-cause investigations.

Tool & Hardware Engagement

• Build strong hands-on knowledge of dielectric/carbon film equipment behavior; support tool qualifications, upgrades, and transfers; partner with suppliers to improve stability/capability.

Other Responsibilities

• Communicate results clearly through reports, reviews, and data summaries; escalate risks with data-driven recommendations.

• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team knowledge sharing.

• 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

Candidate Profile Minimum Qualifications / Experience

• PhD ≥3 yrs, or Master’s ≥5 yrs, or Bachelor’s ≥7 yrs of relevant experience in
  Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or related field,

• Demonstrated thin film R&D / PD experience and ability to link process conditions to material properties/device behavior.

Must-Have Technical Skills

• Thin film deposition fundamentals (CVD/Diffusion) and materials/chemistry/process physics.

• Familiarity with fab metrology and film characterization methods (structural/mechanical/optical/electrical as applicable).

• Working knowledge of plasma processes, vacuum systems, and chemical reactions.

Must-Have Soft Skills

• Strong execution ownership and structured troubleshooting.

• Cross-functional collaboration and concise technical communication.

Highly Desirable / Preferred

• Understanding NAND thin film structure and electrical needs.
