Qualifications for this position include:

• Strong understanding of photolithography. Familiarity with semiconductor process integration is a plus.
• Understanding of optics. Understanding of the principals of photolithography and optical metrology.
• Understanding of how lens aberrations, scanner chuck differences, and process variations can affect overlay.
• Understand various alignment and overlay marks. Understand how mark type and design can impact overlay errors. Experience with overlay mark simulation software is a plus.
• Ability to develop and maintain relationships with multi-functional teams and suppliers.
• Strong curiosity about research and development and ability to build production-worthy technologies.
• Strong communication skills (written, verbal and presentation).
• Ability to apply baseline digital fluency and role‑appropriate AI literacy to use AI‑enabled tools responsibly and effectively for research, analysis, content creation, problem‑solving, operational tasks, and achieving business outcomes.

Education:

M.S./Ph.D. in Engineering, Physics or relevant area of study with 3 years semiconductor lithography experience.

B.S. in Engineering with 5 years semiconductor processing experience with emphasis on Lithography will be considered
