An international employer is seeking a Staff Etch Process Development Engineer to join its semiconductor fabrication operation in Northamptonshire. The role focuses on developing, refining, and supporting both dry and wet etch processes for III-V semiconductor and photonic devices. It is a hands-on process development position with a strong emphasis on improving manufacturing performance, introducing new products successfully, increasing yield, and making production more efficient.<\/p>\n

What you will do<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Build, qualify, and enhance semiconductor manufacturing processes so they are robust and ready for production use.<\/li>\n
  • Improve dry and wet etch steps to achieve better performance, more consistent results, and higher yield.<\/li>\n
  • Review process and equipment information to spot opportunities for improvement using statistical process control, design of experiments, Six Sigma, and Lean techniques.<\/li>\n
  • Contribute to new product introduction, technology transfer, and the scaling of processes from development into manufacturing.<\/li>\n
  • Diagnose and resolve issues affecting process performance or equipment reliability, with the aim of increasing uptime and reducing defects.<\/li>\n
  • Drive improvement programmes focused on yield growth, scrap reduction, shorter cycle times, and lower production costs.<\/li>\n
  • Partner with Product, Equipment, Manufacturing, and Research and Development teams to support process development and factory execution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What the employer is looking for<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Previous experience in semiconductor manufacturing or another advanced manufacturing field is required, with desirable exposure to photonics, III-V materials, MEMS, optoelectronics, or silicon photonics.<\/li>\n
    • Strong practical understanding of SPC, DOE, Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, and root-cause investigation methods.<\/li>\n
    • Ability to work with statistical data, improve processes through analysis, and solve complex manufacturing problems.<\/li>\n
    • Good communication skills, plus the confidence to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.<\/li>\n
    • A degree, or equivalent relevant experience, in Semiconductor Technology, Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, or a similar subject area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Additional details<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • The position is based in Northamptonshire, England.<\/li>\n
