Lead Engineer, Lithography

Ph.D. with 7+ years or M.S. with 10+ years of direct experience in lithography process development and integration.

Degree in Physics, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.

Proven hands-on mastery of the full lithography "wet" stack, including CAR/non-CAR resist chemistry, reaction kinetics, CD control, and sub-micron overlay management.

Strong expertise in SPC, DOE, GR&R, and root-cause analysis; proficiency with JMP or similar statistical software to build diagnostic frameworks from the ground up.

Proven ability to professionalize processes in R&D or semi-manual environments, translating "tribal knowledge" into scalable SOPs, recipes, and technical specifications.

Hands-on proficiency with track systems, projection steppers, contact aligners, and maskless aligners (MLA).

Ability to build process frameworks and drive technical strategy rather than just executing within existing ones.

Demonstrated ability to manage ambiguity, prioritize module-level goals, and mentor junior engineering staff while maintaining deep hands-on technical engagement.

Comfortable working in cleanroom environments (HAZMAT and ESD protocols).
