Semicon Technologist

If youre looking for a special place to build or grow your career youve found it. Whether youre an experienced professional a recent college graduate or somewhere in between IDEX is a place where you can apply your existing skills and learn new ones in an environment where you can make an impact.

With interesting opportunities in engineering marketing sales supply chain operations HR finance and more across more than 40 diverse businesses around the globe chances are we have something special for you.

We are seeking a visionary Semicon Technologist to lead our technical roadmap and engineering strategy. This individual will serve as the primary architect for our cross-functional technology stacks overseeing the integration of advanced materials precision optics and complex manufacturing processes. The ideal candidate possesses deep domain expertise across the entire wafer fabrication lifecycle from lithography deposition and etch to advanced metrology and inspection.

Key Responsibilities:

-Technology Roadmap: Define and execute the long-term technical vision ensuring alignment with Moores Law progressions and next-generation node requirements (GAAFET High-NA EUV E-beam inspection etc.).

-Multidisciplinary Systems Leadership: Spearhead efforts across the full fab spectrum integrating plasma physics (Etch) atomic-scale surface chemistry (ALD CVD) lithography and ion implant. You will harmonize these with the fluid dynamics of CMP and the advanced photonics required for high-sensitivity metrology and inspection.

-Advanced Manufacturing Oversight: Direct the implementation of specialized joining technologies including Electron Beam (E-beam) welding Laser welding and vacuum-tight ceramic-to-metal bonding.

-Materials Science Strategy: Oversee the selection and application of high-performance ceramics and refractory metals used in harsh chamber environments.

-Photonics and Precisions Optics: Drive the development of high-performance optical trains and sensor architectures specializing in thin-film coatings (anti-reflective high-reflectivity and filter coatings) for DUV/EUV and IR spectrums. This includes overseeing the integrations of precision optomechanical assemblies ensuring environmental stability through advanced joining and bonding of dissimilar materials.

-Technology Collaboration and Strategic Ecosystems: Serve as the primary technical bridge between internal business units unifying platform capabilities to ensure modularity and parallel work with the team on high-level external partnerships with OEMS and global research consortia to anticipate next-generation node requirements.

Preferred Knowledge Base:

Process Equipment Etch (ALE/RIE) Deposition (ALD/CVD/PVD) CMP and Ion Implantation Metrology & Inspection CD-SEM Scatterometry Dark-field/Bright-field inspection and EUV optics. Hardware & Physics Precision optics vacuum science and RF power delivery systems. Materials & Joining Technical ceramics (Al2O3 AlN) E-beam/Laser welding and thermal spray coatings

Qualifications:

-Education: Ph.D. or Masters degree in Physics Materials Science Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

-Experience: 15 years in the semiconductor industry with at least 5 years in a senior technical leadership or Fellow level role.

-Subject Matter Expertise: Proven track record of taking complex hardware from lab to fab with specific experience in high-vacuum environments and precision optomechanical systems.

-Soft Skills: An ability to translate deep tech concepts into business value for stakeholders and customers.
