In this role, you will:
Develop, maintain and improve processes.
Handle stopped production batches and development material together with process integration engineers (PIs).
Be a part of creating/improving the infrastructure for operator training and make sure current routine is available and up to date.
Participate in process qualification of new equipment/materials and release to them production.
Participate in the startup of new products, review specifications and process flows.
Grow into taking responsibility for area equipment, improving the tool uptime, maintain and develop new standardized process modules.
Drive improvement projects independently.
We are looking for someone who has
A master's degree in engineering, specializing in Applied Physics, Chemical Engineering, Material Science, or a related field.
Extensive experience of working with chemicals, ideally with around 10 years relevant experience, or experience of working with chemicals combined with experience from a company operating in the CMOS or MEMS sector for a few years.
Experience from a manufacturing or production environment, preferably in a process-oriented industry.
The ability to see opportunities for improvement and manage projects to follow through with those improvements in a proactive way.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
Strong skills in documentation and quality management.
Excellent communication skills in English; proficiency in Swedish is considered a merit.
What we offer you
An opportunity to work closely with talented and inspiring colleagues in a collaborative environment.
A chance to be part of a world-leading company, driving the future of MEMS technology.
The ability to engage with cutting-edge innovations that shape global industries and everyday life.
The satisfaction of contributing directly to transformative technologies at the industry’s most advanced pure-play MEMS foundry.
About Silex
Sweden’s Silex Microsystems manufactures mechanical and electrical systems in micro scale, in the form of MEMS chips.
