Focus on chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) slurry and cleans formulations characterization and lab-based polishing experiments.
Originally posted November 12, 2026 by the employer.
About the role
Provide laboratory support and assist in the development and commercialization of products for chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) applications at Entegris. This role focuses on performing wet lab experiments, lab-based polishing experiments, product reliability tests, formulation experiments, and characterization studies.
What you'll do
- Execute experiments in slurry and cleans formulations characterization and testing, measurement method development, or process development.
- Competently execute experiment plans established by scientists and engineers on the team.
- Perform wet lab experiments, lab-based polishing experiments, product reliability tests, and instrument studies while working in a laboratory environment at least 80% of the time.
- Accurately analyze experimental data applying statistical tools and summarize data into readable formats.
- Maintain laboratory spaces and occasionally seek new methods to improve data collection, analysis, and quality.
What you'll need
- Current enrollment in a BA/BS or MS program in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field with an expected graduation year in 2027 or 2029.
- Hands-on experience with wet chemistry techniques and instrumentation for characterization.
- Hands-on experience in particle and surface science analysis techniques such as PSD, zeta potential, contact angle, or thin-film measurements.
- Familiarity with basic statistical analysis using Excel, Minitab, or JMP.
- Availability to work 40 hours per week on-site in Aurora, IL from May through August.

How we counted: 1066 open Process Engineering (Semiconductor Process) roles from 55 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 14 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Process, Fab & Equipment family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
