About the role

Role focused on in-house IC packaging and assembly for the Starlink program, supporting deposition, lithography, dicing, molding, die attach, plating, and ESD/cleanroom compliance in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities

  • Operate and maintain deposition systems, including physical vapor deposition (PVD) to deposit precise thin films of metals & dielectrics as well as stripping and etching equipment
  • Operate photolithography tools, such as photoresist coaters, aligners, steppers, scanners, and developers, to apply uniform resist layers, align products, expose patterns, and develop images with precision accuracy
  • Monitor process performance using in-situ sensors and metrology equipment like 3D profilometers, ellipsometers, reflectometers, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to ensure film uniformity, step coverage, and contamination control
  • Operate dicing saws, laser dicers, and plasma etching tools to perform mechanical, laser, or plasma-based singulation on wafers and large-format panels, following & monitoring recipes
  • Load and unload materials into molding systems, following recipes to achieve target mold fill, void minimization, and flash control during production runs
  • Operate die attach equipment, including epoxy dispensers, pick-and-place bonders, and reflow stations, to place and secure dies with micron-level accuracy and controlled bond line thickness
  • Operate electrochemical plating tools, including copper electroplaters and seed layer systems, and stripping/etch equipment to process products according to recipes for uniform deposition and precise material removal rates.
  • Comply with cleanroom gowning protocols (ISO), Chemical Safety Standards, & Strict Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) guidelines
