The Characterization Engineer supports MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) device development and manufacturing through comprehensive electrical physical and materials characterization. This role requires handson operation of advanced metrology and inspection equipment detailed analysis of semiconductor waferlevel data and collaboration with Process R&D and Product Engineering to optimize device performance yield and reliability.

What You will Do

Wafer-Level Metrology & Device Characterization

• Perform material device and process characterization using semiconductor metrology tools such as SEM TEM AFM XRD XRF FTIR EDX Raman profilometry ellipsometry spectrometry and other microscopy techniques.

• Conduct electrical characterization of semiconductor/MEMS devices (e.g. IV/CV measurements impedance capacitance leakage breakdown voltage resonance / frequency response for MEMS).

• Support inline metrology for process control (critical dimension measurements overlay film thickness particle monitoring).

• Conduct failure analysis and root-cause investigations to support development and manufacturing teams.

Data Analysis & Reporting

• Analyze complex data sets using analytical tools and statistical software (JMP Python) to identify trends correlations or anomalies.

• Prepare concise reports that interpret results clearly and propose corrective or optimization actions for clients and internal stakeholders.

• Support data-driven decision-making for product development and process optimization.

Process & Product Support

• Collaborate with Product Engineering to evaluate device response to process changes and support process integration.

• Partner with NPI (new product introduction) Engineering by defining characterization requirements and qualification tests.

• Support DOE planning execution and analysis during development and continuous improvement projects.

• Participate in root-cause investigations affecting yield reliability or device performance.

Tool Ownership

• Serve as tool owner for designated metrology or characterization equipment ensuring uptime calibration and performance.

• Develop and optimize standard operating procedures test methods and tool calibration requirements

• Support evaluation and implementation of new metrology equipment.

• Uphold cleanroom best practices and comply with ISO quality and safety requirements.

What You Need
