Process Development Engineer

Job Description

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Physics, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Semiconductor Engineering, or a related technical field with good research skill.
• Strong interest in research and technology development with a hands-on approach to experimental work.
• Experience in planning, executing, and analyzing experiments, including data evaluation and technical reporting.
• Ability to perform root-cause analysis and develop practical solutions to technical challenges.
• Motivation to learn and develop expertise in semiconductor manufacturing processes, contamination control, vacuum technology, and advanced materials.
• Self-driven, structured, and result-oriented working style with the ability to work independently and within cross-functional teams.
• Strong prioritization skills and ability to deliver high-quality results within project timelines.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills in English.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master/PhD degree.
• Hands-on experience in laboratory, pilot-line, or industrial R&D environments, including design and execution of experiments.
• Experience with plasma processes, vacuum systems, contamination control, surface modification, materials characterization, or semiconductor manufacturing technologies.
• Familiarity with statistical data analysis, Design of Experiments (DoE), and scientific modeling.
• Experience collaborating with customers, research institutes, universities, or industrial partners.
• Previous experience in the semiconductor industry is highly desirable.

Key Personal Attributes

• Passion for innovation and technology development.
• Curiosity-driven mindset with a willingness to challenge existing concepts and explore new solutions.

• Ability to combine scientific concepts with practical engineering execution.
• Comfortable working in an international and multidisciplinary environment.

Additional Note

This position is intended for a hands-on technology developer and researcher. While a strong scientific background is important, success in this role requires the ability to translate theory into practical experiments, prototype solutions, and industrially relevant technologies. Advanced academic qualifications (PhD) are highly valued but are not a substitute for practical problem-solving and laboratory execution skills.
