Dir, Engineering

What You'll Do:

• Act as the technical owner with authority to define and lead the technical direction of the product.
• Drive end-to-end execution of the product, ensuring alignment with overall program vision and objectives.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with other program tracks to ensure product success.
• Lead design verification at the development site through alpha testing and coordinate validation at customer locations.
• Build and maintain customer trust by setting clear performance expectations, executing successful demonstrations, and providing regular progress updates.
• Ensure robust design verification practices, including conducting process FMEAs to assess risks and define mitigation strategies early in the development cycle.
• Promote technology development efficiency through extensive use of modeling and simulation to guide design and process decisions.
• Integrate equipment intelligence features to identify, understand, and resolve equipment performance challenges.
• Oversee the design and use of test stands to evaluate equipment limitations, define process windows, and ensure adequate operating margins.
• Ensure resource readiness, including personnel, equipment, and metrology, for successful program execution.
• Partner with the Lead Systems Engineer to support the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) process.

Who We're Looking For:

• 10+ years of experience in semiconductor or semiconductor equipment development.
• Proven expertise in vacuum process chambers and familiarity with deposition and etch equipment.
• Strong proficiency in Design of Experiments (DOE) for process development.
• Demonstrated ability to use modeling and simulation tools to guide process and design optimization.
• Skilled in leading technology teams and influencing cross-functional stakeholders.
• Experience collaborating with global and remote technology teams for development and testing activities.
