SM Fab Advanced Process Controls (APC) Engineer - Sherman, TX, United States
Originally posted 8 October 2026 by the employer.
This role supports the manufacturing ramp of a new 300mm wafer Fab.
About the role
This role is for a Factory Controls Engineer responsible for working with Fab Engineering to reduce run-to-run (R2R) process variation by implementing Advanced Process Control (APC) methods. This position supports the manufacturing ramp of a new 300mm wafer Fab running Analog or Embedded Processing Technologies.
What you'll do
- Support equipment installation from a process perspective, process startup, and process release for a new factory.
- Learn and execute in multiple manufacturing execution systems (MES).
- Develop and implement improved methods of manufacturing, procedures, and processes that result in improved efficiencies, yields, machine operations, and quality.
- Apply statistical rigor through SPC, DOE, modeling and other advanced data analysis methods.
What you'll need
- 2 years relevant experience in at least two of the following: Industrial Automation, Semiconductor Process Engineering, Data Analytics/System Integration.
- Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field.
- Experience in programming languages, Python, and/or SQL.
Nice to have
- Strong foundation with statistical process control, control theory/tools (e.g., PID tuning, state estimation), linear algebra, engineering change control and process release strategies.
- Advanced technical degree related to controls, systems, or software development.
- Prior experience with Semiconductor APC systems, preferably AMAT E3 or ProcessWORKS.
