You are an accomplished engineer with a deep understanding of lithography and advanced OPC/RET techniques, eager to push the boundaries of semiconductor manufacturing. You possess a strong academic background—ideally a PhD or Master’s in Physics, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering—and bring at least 8 years of hands-on experience in mask synthesis, process optimization, and scripting.
What you'll do
Collaborating directly with customers and internal R&D teams to understand and address technical challenges in mask synthesis and lithography.
- Translating customer requirements into comprehensive Product Requirement Documents (PRDs), shaping product direction and roadmap.
- Reviewing and approving functional specifications to ensure alignment with customer needs and technical feasibility.
- Conducting early-stage testing of new features and functionalities during development cycles, providing critical feedback for product refinement.
- Prototyping advanced OPC/RET solutions and partnering with R&D to drive their transition into robust, production-ready tools.
- Supporting field Application Engineers (AEs) and customers in debugging and resolving complex production issues.
- Developing training materials and delivering technical workshops to internal teams and external customers.
- Collaborating with R&D and technical publications teams to produce release notes and comprehensive documentation.
What you need
PhD or Master’s degree in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
- Minimum 8+ years in Lithography, OPC/RET, and mask synthesis.
- Proficiency in Linux/UNIX environments and Python scripting for process automation and prototyping.
- Comprehensive understanding of mask synthesis challenges and workflows in semiconductor foundries.
- Strong analytical skills and a proven track record of solving complex technical problems.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
