Job Description
The partner company, a German hardware startup focused on designing and manufacturing groundbreaking microchips, is seeking a Senior Wet Cleaning Process Engineer to join their Semiconductor FAB team. The ideal candidate will lead the development, implementation, and scaling of advanced wet clean processes tailored to 2D materials and novel device integration. As a core member of the team building Black FabONE, the candidate will play a pivotal role in establishing contamination-free wafer processing during both pilot line and high-volume production phases.
Role Involves:
- Leading the development and implementation of wet clean processes for 2D material preparation and advanced device architectures.
- Owning key fab startup activities, including tool installation, recipe validation, and process ramp-up.
- Defining process specifications and selecting/qualifying batch and single-wafer wet clean tools.
- Establishing and maintaining Process of Record (POR) for critical cleaning steps and defining ramp-to-production protocols.
- Coordinating with facilities and equipment teams to ensure robust integration of chemical delivery, return, and waste systems.
- Implementing and managing Statistical Process Control (SPC) systems.
- Providing technical mentorship to junior engineers and fab technicians.
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Engineering or a related technical field.
- Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in semiconductor process engineering, focused on wet clean processes.
- Deep knowledge of contamination control, surface preparation, and post-process cleaning.
- Experience working with cleaning chemistries and tools (single-wafer and batch systems).
- Exposure to 2D material processing (e.g., graphene) is a strong advantage.
- Practical experience in fab startups, pilot line setups, or technology ramp environments.
- Familiarity with chemical infrastructure systems (delivery, return, and waste management) in a fab setting.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
- Eligibility to work within the EU.
Role Offers:
- Comprehensive benefits package with excellent insurance and pension benefits as well as virtual stock options.
- Inspiring, creative, and diverse environment with professional and motivated colleagues.
- Transparent and open culture.
- Challenging tasks and opportunities for development.
- Supportive environment with work-life balance.
- Access to the Project A Family Network.
