Job Title:

Senior Scientist, Analytics & Metrology

Job Description:

The Role:

As a Cleanroom Metrology Engineer, you will work closely with Materials Solutions Engineers and Research Scientists to advance our capability to differentiate and characterize CMP performance of next-generation slurry, post-clean solutions, and pad technologies using in-house metrology tools for thin film analysis, defect inspection, and surface topography. In this role, you will also collaborate with external laboratories and wafer suppliers to support advanced defect characterization, while coordinating efforts across global engineering teams.

In this role you will:

Perfo rm m etrology measurement – film thickness, defect analysis, SEM defect classification

Support measurement needs in experimental planning and execution

A subject matter expert in metrology and a key collaborator with engineers and scientists

Identifies opportunities to improve Cleanroom and experimental efficiency

Assists with evaluation and process development activities on new Cleanroom tools, including polishers, metrology equipment, or cleaning equipment

Keeps detailed records of experimental data and experimental methods

Shares in responsibility for the safety of shift-coworkers

Traits we believe make a strong candidate:

Bachelor’s degree or higher in Physics, Chemistry, or a related engineering field

3+ years of experience in a semiconductor fab environment

Hands-on experience in defectivity metrology (e.g., SPx , SEM review, defect classification) is required

Familiarity with wafer metrology, including thickness measurements

Experience in engineering projects, with the ability to operate metrology tools and interpret results (e.g., process or yield engineering roles)

Knowledge of CMP processes in Logic, Memory, and/or Advanced Packaging fabs

Self-motivated and able to work independently in a fast-paced environment

Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with global engineering teams

Demonstrated project management and leadership capabilities

Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and Klarity; experience with Python/C++ and statistical analysis tools (JMP, Minitab, SAS) is a plus

Your success will be measured by:

Ability to operate in a highly independent manner.

tolerance of ambiguity and commitment to task

planning and organization and attention to detail

strong teamwork and communication skills and highly accountable

Critical to recognize and respond to customer needs in a collaborative
