Your technical leadership will directly impact product performance, yield, and reliability.

Responsibilities:

• Architect and optimize advanced DRAM capacitor process flows, including build rules and performance specifications
• Lead resolution of complex cross‑module integration issues across Photo, Etch, Materials, Device, and Cell
• Drive capacitor performance and reliability improvements including Cs uniformity, leakage, TDDB, and long‑term reliability
• Design and execute structured DOEs to accelerate learning, defect reduction, and performance improvement
• Lead data‑driven yield improvement and support robust cross‑site technology transfer

Minimum Qualifications:

• Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of semiconductor industry experience in DRAM process integration, capacitor, or dielectric development
• Hands‑on expertise in MIM capacitor engineering and dielectric integration
• Experience taking capacitor processes from R&D through pilot and manufacturing ramp
• Strong data analytics, statistical problem‑solving, and cross‑functional collaboration skills

Preferred Qualifications:

• Deep understanding of DRAM module interactions and system‑level integration behavior
• Experience with advanced capacitor materials and long‑term scaling roadmap development
• Proven technical leadership with strong ownership and execution in ambiguous problem spaces
• Track record of innovation and influence across multi‑disciplinary engineering teams
