Position Summary:
Client is seeking a hands-on Nanofabrication Process Engineer or Process Technician to support the fabrication and development of advanced semiconductor test vehicles within Bay Area nanofabrication facilities. The successful candidate will execute wafer processing activities across multiple cleanroom modules and work closely with device, process integration, and technology development teams to accelerate advanced semiconductor R&D programs. 
 
The role requires extensive hands-on cleanroom experience and the ability to independently run wafer lots through multiple process modules while maintaining detailed process documentation and experimental records. 
 
Key Responsibilities:
Execute semiconductor wafer processing in advanced cleanroom environments. 
Run wafer lots through multiple process modules including:  
E-beam lithography 
Optical lithography 
Thin film deposition (ALD, PVD, CVD) 
Dry etch (RIE/ICP) 
Wet etching and cleaning 
CMP 
Support process development and optimization activities. 
Perform lithography process setup, resist coating, exposure, development, and inspection. 
Perform thin film deposition and process characterization. 
Execute etch process development and wafer fabrication experiments. 
Conduct metrology and defect inspections using semiconductor characterization tools. 
Collect, analyze, and document process data. 
Support DOE execution and process learning cycles. 
Work closely with process integration and device teams to troubleshoot fabrication challenges. 
 
Required Qualifications:

Minimum 2 years of semiconductor cleanroom experience. 
Demonstrated hands-on experience in several of the following:  
E-beam lithography 
Optical lithography 
Thin film deposition 
RIE / ICP etch 
CMP 
Wet processing 
Semiconductor metrology 
Ability to independently execute wafer lots and experimental processing runs. 
Strong troubleshooting and documentation skills. 
 
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience in semiconductor R&D or pilot-line environments. 
Experience with advanced device fabrication and process development. 
Experience with process integration and experimental split management. 
Familiarity with characterization techniques including SEM, profilometry, ellipsometry, and electrical measurements. 
Experience working in university, research institute, or development cleanroom facilities. 
Ideal Candidate:
We're looking for someone who enjoys hands-on fabrication work, can rapidly learn new processes, operate independently in a cleanroom environment, and can help drive aggressive technology development schedules through disciplined lot execution and process learning. 
 
Education:
Associate's, Bachelor's, or equivalent industry experience in:  
Electrical Engineering 
Materials Science 
Chemical Engineering 
Physics 
Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology 
Minimum 2 years of semiconductor cleanroom experience.
