Job Summary: 

The Senior Process Engineer is an experienced technical expert responsible for developing, optimizing, and sustaining advanced manufacturing or research processes—often in the context of semiconductors or materials science. Operating with significant autonomy, this role defines ambiguous problems, leads solution development, and drives continuous improvement through robust experimentation, data analysis, and cross-functional collaboration. The Senior Process Engineer guides small, purpose-driven teams (formally or informally) and communicates technical insights to a wide range of stakeholders.

Responsibilities and Tasks:

• Problem Definition & Solution Delivery: Interpret ill-defined technical or manufacturing challenges, clarify problem boundaries, propose and select solution paths, and execute projects from concept through implementation
• Process Development & Optimization: Design, document, and refine complex manufacturing processes (e.g., grinding, bonding, etching, activation), ensuring scalability, quality, and efficiency
• Experimental Design & Analysis: Plan and conduct repeatable experiments; collect, analyze, and present data using appropriate metrology and statistical tools
• Technical Leadership: Informally lead cross-functional teams in project execution, supporting knowledge sharing and capability development without formal reporting lines
• Technical Communication: Communicate complex technical information clearly and persuasively to technicians, peers, management, and senior leaders through reports, presentations, and informal discussions
• Documentation & Training: Develop and maintain internal procedures, white papers, and training resources; own documentation for assigned processes
• Continuous Improvement: Identify and implement process improvements, support root cause analysis, and conduct or assist in product failure investigations
• Vendor & Stakeholder Engagement: Liaise with external vendors and internal stakeholders as needed to support process goals
• General Support: Perform other duties as assigned to support operational, developmental, or strategic objectives

Skills and Abilities:

• Technical Mastery: Deep knowledge of process engineering principles and industry best practices

• Analytical Thinking: Applies advanced problem-solving and data analysis methods
• Initiative & Accountability: Takes ownership of assignments and drives them to completion
• Communication: Clearly conveys technical information across organizational levels
• Continuous Learning: Stays current with advancements in process engineering and related technologies
• Ethics & Integrity: Acts with professionalism, responsibility, and respect for safety and quality
