Onsite At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of todays mission and stay ahead of tomorrows threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.
We have an exciting opportunity for aCompound Semiconductor Process Development Engineerto join our diverse III-V process development team working on gallium nitride-based devices and III-V focal plane array fabrication within theAdvanced Microelectronics Solutions(AMS) Department. This role requires a broad understanding of microelectronics processing techniques such as deposition, etch, photolithography, metrology, and process characterization with expertise in one or more of these areas.
As a member of the AMS Department, the individual in this role will lead and execute process development efforts, assist in process sustainment, improve product yield, develop new processes and device capabilities, and assist in the creation of new technology discriminators in a III-V semiconductor wafer foundry. The chosen candidate is expected to beaninnovative and creative thinker capable of probing issues and reaching solutions both independently and in a team environment. A significant portion of the role involves developing proof of concept demonstrations of novel semiconductor processes, identifying the yield and process improvement opportunities that exist, gathering sponsorship and team resources, and executing on continuous improvement activities. Presence on the foundry floor is essential forimproving various wafer fabrication issues andquick resolution of technical problems. An ideal candidate should possess a willingness to learn various microelectronics processing techniques, tackle simple and challenging problems alike, engage coworkers, question processing rationales, and seek ways to continuously improve how things are done. The role requires a large degree of multitasking with attention to detail while managing priorities depending on the nature of the problems and the commitments to customers or program leads.
This role will be 100% on-site and based in Andover, MA.
