This organisation is creating a Research team to focus on exploratory work and feasibility studies, in particular when problems require fast evaluations of different approaches, fundamental changes or holistic approach.
The team aims to explore changes to company technology from the simplest to the most exploratory in order to derisk technical solutions and link them up with future needs of the semiconductor industry. While each role in the Research team has its own field of expertise, the team works closely together and heavily focuses on problems to solve, even when outside of their field of expertise. In this respect, creativity and problem-solving skills are critical to this endeavour. Some problems will require makeshift solutions while some others will require in-depth understanding with experimental testing and associated critical thinking. The team will work closely with the engineering departments to ensure smooth transitions from ideas to product. The Research director will ensure connections with relevant teams where needed (engineering, manufacturing, applications, customer service).
Your Background – Instrumentation Assembly & Test Engineer, Microscopy & Metrology Semiconductor Process Equipment
To be considered for this exciting opportunity, you must be able to demonstrate the following skills and attributes:
Personal Qualities:
Creativity: Comes up with new solutions. When blocked with a problem, is able to find alternatives, workarounds or hacks to get to a solution.
Problem solving: Keen to solve problem of all difficulties, independently of field of expertise.
