Job Description

Our client is launching a new business and establishing a new factory in Singapore. They are seeking an experienced Coating Process Engineer to join their team and contribute to advanced substrate manufacturing.

Reports to: R&D Manager

Responsibilities
1) Process Development & Optimization
- Develop and optimize coating processes for photoresist and dielectric materials (e.g., PID, PI) on package substrates.
- Establish uniform coating parameters to ensure consistent layer thickness and adhesion.
- Optimize oven/thermal curing profiles for soft bake, hard bake, pre-bake, post-exposure bake (PEB), or final curing.

2) Tool Management & Setup
- Define tool requirements and support installation and qualification of coaters, hot plates, and curing ovens.
- Maintain and troubleshoot coating and baking equipment to ensure uptime and performance.
- Work with equipment vendors and facilities teams on preventive maintenance and upgrades.

3) Process Monitoring & Control
- Monitor coating quality, film thickness uniformity, and oven cure parameters using metrology tools (e.g., ellipsometry, thickness gauges, bake sensors).
- Implement process control plans, including SPC charts and run-to-run feedback control.
- Validate material compatibility, adhesion strength, thermal stability, and outgassing behavior.

4) Defect Prevention & Yield Improvement
- Identify and resolve coating and baking-related defects.
- Collaborate with upstream and downstream teams to ensure integrated process stability.

5) Documentation & Compliance
- Create and maintain technical documentation including SOPs, process specifications, recipes, and FMEAs.
- Ensure all processes comply with environmental, safety, and chemical handling standards.
