Description: |
Provide best in class technical support to the solar industry all along the value chain for silicon and silicon based solutions, as well as being involved in business development and demonstrating company’s product to the marketplace.
•Identify, develop, and manage technologies required for dopant characterization and activation.
•Provide process engineering expertise to support customer tools.
•Responsible for designing and conducting experiments to develop doping/implant processes for advanced semiconductor processing.
•Generate technical reports and presentations.
•Responsible for making presentations to customers.
•Responsible for making presentations at national and international conferences.
Responsibilities:
•Responsible for research, design, development, modification, and evaluation in support of the company’s complex capital equipment and systems, their electronic, mechanical or electro-mechanical components, software control systems, and/or processes. Determine design approaches and parameters. Review and evaluate designs or processes.
•Select components and equipment based on analysis of specifications and reliability. Evaluate supplier capabilities to provide required products or services. Recommend approach in Make-or-Buy decisions as necessary.
•Design and conduct independent technical experiments, analyses or tests pertaining to the development of new methods, processes, and standards, modification of current material, component, software, or process specifications, and resolution to complex technical problems. Define problems and objectives, develop method of approach, design of experiment, and organize means to achieve desired results. Analyze results, generate reports, and provide recommendations accordingly. Direct implementation of required changes and modifications.
•Plan, conduct, and technically direct projects or phases of moderately complex projects. Develop project plans, including method of approach, schedules, budget, personnel, equipment, materials, and supplies.
