Let us tell you a little bit about the role🚀

We are looking for a Senior Process Engineer to join our III-V foundry team. This role will support the development, transfer and sustained performance of epitaxy processes across GaN, InP and GaAs material systems, working with a collaborative engineering and technical operations group in a delivery-focused environment.

⭐ What will you do with us?

• Own and drive epitaxy process performance starting by the process development qualificacion, ensuring quality, yield and delivery against agreed objectives and timelines.

• Develop, qualify and transfer process recipes for GaN, InP and GaAs epitaxial layers, including parameter definition, stability monitoring and controlled change management.

• Perform root-cause analysis of process excursions and defects, assessing risks and implementing practical corrective and preventive actions.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including technology, device engineering, metrology/characterisation and production operations to align process specifications with customer and internal requirements.

• Define and execute experimental plans (DOE), interpret results and translate findings into actionable process improvements.

• Maintain accurate records of experiments, process history, performance metrics, documentation and reports in line with internal standards.

• Ensure compliance with relevant safety, quality and regulatory requirements, including lab and facility procedures and any applicable industry standards.

• Support continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to streamline workflows, improve control strategies and enhance productivity and capability.

• Undertake other reasonable duties relevant to the position.

🧠 What skill set are we looking for?

• Proven experience (+5years) as a process engineer in epitaxy with hands-on understanding of III-V semiconductor manufacturing or development activities.

• Strong working knowledge of epitaxy process fundamentals and practical experience supporting GaN, InP and/or GaAs process development and optimisation.

• Demonstrated ability to run structured experiments, use data effectively and apply rigorous root-cause analysis to improve outcomes.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence presenting technical findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong attention to detail, with a commitment to high-quality documentation, metrology-ready process definition and reliable execution.

• Ability to work independently, prioritise tasks and manage competing deadlines in a manufacturing environment.

• Comfort using standard workplace tools, lab/production systems and data analysis software used for process tracking and reporting.

• Proactive, dependable and professional approach, with a focus on continuous improvement and delivery.

• Ability to adapt to changing priorities and respond effectively to new challenges, customer requirements and production needs.

What is a plus?

• Relevant degree or professional qualification in engineering, physics, materials science or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

• Experience with role-specific epitaxy tools and process control practices, including recipe documentation and controlled change procedures.

• Knowledge of relevant quality, safety and process control frameworks and best practices applicable to semiconductor manufacturing.
