Integration Engineer or Senior Integration Engineer, Texas Institute for Electronics Full-time

Integration Engineer Or Senior Integration Engineer, Texas Institute For Electronics

The Integration Engineer or Senior Integration Engineer will focus on processing of test and demonstration vehicles in advanced Heterogeneous Integration projects. This role will initially involve toolset installation/qualification and evolve into establishing best known method (BKM) flows, characterizing performance and executing improvements to enhance yield and reliability.

Responsibilities include:

• Driving unit process engineers and tool / material vendors towards achieving defined targets for integrated test vehicles.
• Developing successful shortloop and full integrated processes to demonstrate various heterogeneous integration prototypes.
• A significant hands-on role within the cleanroom is expected, initially with shared ownership of critical unit processes.
• Defining process window and resolving excursion through structured troubleshooting and investigation of failure modes.
• Designing and evaluating results of experiments on test vehicles for mechanical / electrical performance and reliability.
• Ability to work in a team environment, mentor junior engineers / students and communicate effectively.

Required qualifications for the Integration Engineer include:

• Bachelor's degree in semiconductor engineering fields such as Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science or other relevant disciplines.
• Five years of relevant experience to include experience with Cu BEOL interconnects, including hands on experience with copper DD unit processes.
• Experience in W2W or D2WHB extremely preferred.

Required qualifications for the Senior Integration Engineer include:

• Master's degree or Doctoral degree in semiconductor engineering fields such as Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science or other relevant disciplines.
• Three years of experience in semiconductor process engineering.
• Experience in W2W or D2WHB extremely preferred.

Additionally, candidates should have:

• Working knowledge or experience with 3D ICs including various integration schemes.
• Extensive familiarity with standard inline metrology and failure analysis techniques.
• Experience with working on test vehicles to establish baseline processes.
• Ability to work in a cleanroom for extended periods of time to inspect, oversee and debug processes. This includes the ability to gown to applicable clean room standards.
• Experience with analysis and interpretation of BEOL parametric etest and reliability.
• Strong data analytical skills (JMP, Python etc.) and communication skills.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Three or more years of experience with unit processes in Copper CMP, particle free wet cleans or bonding.
• Ten or more years of experience in semiconductor process engineering.
• Experience in a startup or research and development (R&D) environment
• Experience with advanced technology nodes.
• Experience in test vehicle design, layout, and/or extraction of parametric results.

Salary range is industry competitive.

Working conditions include:

• On-site work in a scientific research environment with dynamic work conditions and frequent interruptions.
• Work in a cleanroom environment, requiring the ability to gown to ISO Class 5 Clean Room standards.
• Occasional requirement to work outside standard office hours during peak periods and special events.

Required materials include:

• Resume/CV
• Three work references with their contact information; at least one reference should be from a supervisor
• Letter of interest
