The other 40% is where you shape what happens next — planning experiments, analysing data, and presenting insights that influence decisions at management level.
    • You will work on all stages of process development, defining process architecture, developing process modules, working with process development tool owners to develop and optimise pixel performance.
    • Constantly seek out and implement opportunities for innovation and improvement in the products and processes.
    • Participate in risk assessments and design reviews.
    • Identify the requirements for new tooling to support the development roadmap, including defining process recipe specifications and aligning with the process tool owner.
    • Leverage your R&D and process development experience to drive progress within a high-performing, results-oriented team.
    • A PhD in Physics, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Materials Science, or a related discipline focused on III–V semiconductor devices, or a bachelor’s degree with at least three years of relevant industry experience.
    • Hands on experience of developing and optimising InP or GaAs semiconductor device fabrication processes in a clean room environment.
    • Knowledge of semiconductor device physics.
    • Broad experience in semiconductor process techniques, including but not limited to lithography (stepper and mask aligner), etch (RIE, ICP and wet etch), CVD, PVD, Evaporation, ALD, IBD.
    • Design of Experiments and statistical analysis techniques.
    • Working knowledge of CAM systems and SPC.
    • Ability to communicate clearly, design decisions to cross-functional teams.
    • Experience of risk analysis and design review processes.
    • Experience with JMP or Python for data analysis would be an advantage.
    • Pension scheme
    • Private medical & dental insurance
    • 28 days’ holiday + bank holidays
    • Free onsite meals
