About the Role

We are looking for a highly skilled Plating Process Engineer to lead the development and implementation of advanced plating processes tailored to next-generation materials and device architectures, including 2D materials such as graphene.

• Lead the development and implementation of Plating processes tailored to 2D materials (e.g., graphene) and novel device architectures
• Evaluate and define process specifications; collaborate with internal stakeholders and vendors to select and qualify the Plating tools
• Own key fab startup activities, including tool installation, acceptance testing, recipe validation, and ramp-up
• Establish and maintain Process of Record (POR) for critical clean steps; define ramp-to-production protocols
• Implement and manage SPC systems, drive continuous improvement via data-driven methodologies

About Us

We see the semiconductor industry as a realm of possibility. We see opportunities. We see the profound impact that our graphene solutions will have in transforming the industry. We invite you to join us in driving change with our fundamentally human-centered approach, uniting bright minds around a shared vision.

Our work culture is built on the principles of People Over Processes, Let's Grow Together, and Your Health and Future Matter.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in semiconductor process engineering with a focus on Plating
• Deep understanding of contamination control, surface preparation, and Plating challenges
• Practical exposure to 2D material preparation and integration is a strong plus
• 300mm plating tools hands-on experience (Lam, AMAT etc.)
• Experience in fab startup, pilot line development, or technology ramp-up environments is highly desirable
