module ownership, leading complex experiments and driving cross‑functional closure of process issues. Acts as a technical contributor who can lead
teams/sites/suppliers on complex projects within their module scope.
Main Responsibilities
Process Development & Margin Improvement
- Own process characterization and recipe/process optimization to meet yield/quality requirements for advanced NAND technologies.
- Quantify benefits of new chemistries, process sequences, or equipment changes and drive early adoption to improve margin and manufacturability.
- Independently lead experiments to widen process windows and validate next‑node solutions.
Cross‑
functional Integration & Troubleshooting
- Lead cross‑functional troubleshooting and integration activities to improve yield and quality; translate future device needs into process requirements.
- Coordinate with global TD peers (including Boise) on node choices and portability/transfer readiness.
Innovation / IP / Supplier Engagement
- Drive portions of research, hardware evaluations, and novel application testing; contribute to patents/technical papers where applicable.
- Lead or represent wet process in supplier discussions supporting breakthrough solutions.
Monitoring, Control & Documentation (Governance)
- Identify and drive process simplification opportunities; integrate best‑known manufacturing methods into early development.
- Design and implement advanced monitoring and control methodologies within module scope.
- Lead teams/sites/suppliers in quality/yield improvement meetings and ensure clear technical documentation and compliance with IP policy.
Other Responsibilities
- Integrates AI‑assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency, quality, or effectiveness, exercising sound judgment and complying with organizational standards and legal requirements.
