NPTI Process Development Engineer

About the position

The primary focus of this position is to support development and lead characterization of implant and diffusion processes for new Power products and technologies in Wolfspeed's state of the art, highly automated, Silicon Carbide Wafer Fab in Marcy, NY. This role will involve a strong partnership with R&D and Operations to ensure new products and technologies are optimized and characterized for both product performance and manufacturability. You will perform process windowing using DOE, conduct gage R&Rs, evaluate and characterize new tool/metro platforms, validate specs, assess new process Cpk, and compile a process manual for each new technology.

Responsibilities

• Utilize your experience and knowledge in implant and diffusion to fully window new processes in development and understand tuning knobs.
• Engage with the Sustaining Process Engineering team early to set them up for success by ensuring knowledge is shared.
• Work closely with the R&D team to assess manufacturability of new design specs and integration.
• Support R&D with onsite tool, process, and metrology expertise.
• Assist in evaluating and introducing new equipment as needs arise.
• Analyze data using sound statistical methodology to drive process, efficiency, and quality improvements.
• Establish relationships across various departments to drive cohesive learning and cross functional problem solving.
• Responsible for documentation and training in the transfer of new processes to manufacturing including capacity planning, characterization work, OCAP's, FMEA's, and process control plans and limits.
• Present technical data and project updates to peers and management in both a casual and formal environment.
• Travel occasionally to various manufacturing sites and vendor sites to learn and share knowledge.
• Exhibit strong communication skills to ensure crisp execution on projects with high efficiency and quality.
• Challenge the team to drive best in class performance, yield, and quality.
