Job Description

Role: Wet and Dry Engineer for uLED Research Lab
Location: Cork

Position Summary
Our uLED research lab is seeking a highly motivated Etch Engineer to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining wet and dry etch process on state-of-the-art semiconductor equipment in pursuit of the next generation of ultra-low-power LED (uLED) technology. We are looking for a hands-on engineer with a passion for exploring new materials, processes, and applications.

Responsibilities

• Operate and optimize a variety of etch systems for the development and maintenance of etch processes. This includes the operation and sustaining of processes on plasma etch, plasma ash, wet chemical tools as well as use of manual wet benched to develop new processes.
• Understand and optimize existing etch process to improve device performance and yield.
• Understand and execute DoE’s (Design of Experiments) to support new Process Releases.
• Clearly Document and Summarize all works & actions in relation to the above.
• Running of wafers for processing on tools to support progressing ‘lots’ through the process.
• Collaborate with the rest of the team (Including Research Scientists and Device Integrators) to design, fabricate, and test new uLED devices.
• Participate in technology transfer and training activities.
• Ensure compliance with laboratory safety requirements and regulations.
• If necessary, the candidate will need to be flexible to support areas outside of their areas of expertise

Qualifications / Requirements

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in chemical engineering, Materials Science or a related field.
• Prior hands-on Experience of Semiconductor processing – 2+ years of experience of LED/ III-V materials required.
• Prior Experience of Semiconductor MES (Manufacturing Execution System) – EYELIT Strongly Preferred.
• Understanding of SPC and how it applies to deposition process and device stability.
• Knowledge of wet and dry theory and applications for uLED devices.
• Strong experimental and problem-solving skills.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work well in a team environment.
• Familiarity with cleanroom protocols and safety regulations.
