About the Role
Join the Texas Institute for Electronics (TIE) and help us push the boundaries in critical semiconductor domains, including advanced packaging, with the aim of reestablishing U.S. prominence in semiconductor manufacturing. With over $1 billion in funding from the US DoD and the state of Texas, we’re at the forefront of creating cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing equipment and processes that will set the course for future advancements in semiconductor logic, memory, heterogeneous integration, chip cooling and more.
Responsibilities
- Drive material formulation, characterization, and process optimization through structured Design of Experiments (DOE), data analysis, and root-cause investigations.
- Design and execute experiments to evaluate material properties, process performance, reliability, and compatibility with advanced packaging technologies, including 2.5D/3D integration, heterogeneous and mixed material integration, and hybrid bonding.
- Lead material qualification and performance validation, and qualification of innovative material solutions for advanced semiconductor packaging applications.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including process engineering, equipment development, manufacturing, and external partners, to integrate new materials into semiconductor packaging processes.
- Serve as a technical subject matter expert, engaging with customers, suppliers, and industry partners to translate technical requirements into material specifications, development roadmaps, and commercially viable solutions.
- Able to work in a team environment, mentor junior engineers / students and communicate effectively.
- Other duties as assigned.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Polymer Science, Materials Science and Engineering, or a closely related Engineering discipline and two years of experience in semiconductor packaging industry or a closely related industry, or Master’s degree or higher in Polymer Science, Materials Science and Engineering, or a closely related Engineering discipline (for Senior Engineer level).
- Bachelor’s degree in Polymer Science, Materials Science and Engineering, or a closely related Engineering discipline and five years of experience in semiconductor packaging industry or a closely related industry, or Master’s degree in Polymer Science, Materials Science and Engineering, or a closely related Engineering discipline, and three years of experience in semiconductor packaging industry or a closely related industry, or Ph.D. higher in Polymer Science, Materials Science and Engineering, or a closely related Engineering discipline (for Staff Engineer level).
- Experience in semiconductor packaging industry or a closely related industry.
- Prior hands-on experience in semiconductor packaging materials development, process integration, or related manufacturing technologies, with a solid understanding of industry requirements and technical challenges.
- Strong understanding of advanced semiconductor packaging architectures and technologies, including 2.5D/3D integration, heterogeneous integration, chiplets, wafer-level packaging, and hybrid bonding.
- In-depth knowledge of polymer chemistry, structure-property relationships, adhesion mechanisms, interfacial science, thermal and mechanical properties, and material reliability.
- Proficiency in materials characterization and analytical techniques, such as DSC, TGA, DMA, FTIR, TMA, etc and mechanical testing, with the ability to interpret results and establish material-performance relationships.
- Demonstrated ability to independently design and execute experiments, apply Design of Experiments (DOE) methodologies, troubleshoot complex technical challenges, and translate research findings into practical engineering solutions.
- Relevant education and experience may be substituted as appropriate.
- Ph.D. in Polymer Science, Materials Science and Engineering, or a closely related Engineering discipline (preferred).
- 3 or more years of experience in semiconductor packaging industry or a closely related industry (preferred).
- Two or more years of experience working on Temporary Bonding and Debonding (TBDB) materials and processes (preferred).
