The RF Microelectronics, Module Design, and Foundry Services Department (RFMicro) develops, designs, and manufactures compound semiconductor devices, microwave/millimeter-wave integrated circuits, and modules for defense applications. There is an exciting opportunity in the department for a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Process Integration Engineer to join the crystal fabrication team supporting the product and process integration of the Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) product line.
As a member of the RFM Department, the individual in this role will be responsible for the performance and yield of the SAW product line, combining product-level data analysis, failure investigation, and cross-functional team engagement to ensure that all devices meet program performance, yield, and reliability requirements. The engineer will work across multiple functions, including quality, operations, engineering, and foundry customers to ensure that all customer requirements are met. Presence on the manufacturing floor is required for quick resolution of issues and quick reaction time to prevent interruption to customer commitments.
The ideal candidate for this role would have an excellent understanding of SAW device physics, experience in acoustic device fabrication and test, excellent data analysis and root cause corrective action (RCCA) skills, an excellent communicator, and possess a drive to learn and improve the areas where they work. The ability to multitask while maintaining attention to detail, maintain organized, and work well in small cross-functional teams is essential to success.
This 1st shift role will be 100% on-site and based in Andover, MA.
What You Will Do:
- Monitor and analyze SAW device performance trends to identify and address excursions
- Establish relationships between process/tool outputs and device yield
- Lead root-cause investigations for yield and performance drivers for all SAW product lines
- Identify process improvement opportunities and drive cross-functional teams towards implementation and continuous improvement
- Interface with internal customers, next-higher-level integration teams, and program leads on technical issues, new products, or cross-functional process improvements
- Actively communicate with parties within and outside of the work area (off-shift engineers, work center leads, operation leads, manufacturing personnel, equipment team, etc.)
Qualifications You Must Have:
- Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM)
