Semiconductor Process Engineer
Our Oxford-based client is currently searching for a Semiconductor Process Engineer to support the development, transfer, and optimisation of coated consumable manufacturing processes within a cleanroom environment. The role will act as a technical bridge between R&D and Manufacturing, supporting NPI, design transfer, process capability, yield improvement, and production problem-solving. The ideal candidate will have experience in chemical processing, surface engineering, and coating technologies, ideally within a regulated, precision-manufacturing environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with R&D to develop and transfer manufacturing-ready processes for new products.
- Lead/support technology transfer and NPI industrialisation, providing Design for Manufacture input.
- Define Critical Process Parameters (CPPs) and Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs).
- Develop, optimise, and control coating, surface preparation, and chemical treatment processes.
- Use DoE, statistical analysis, and structured problem-solving to improve process capability, yield, throughput, cost, and consistency.
- Establish and monitor process KPIs and drive continuous improvement.
- Investigate production issues, process variation, and yield loss using root cause analysis.
- Collaborate with R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Operations, and external suppliers/technology partners.
