Staff Metrology Engineer - Marcy, New York, United States
$33,280 - $0 USD yearly
Originally posted 30 September 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves recommending and implementing equipment and process modifications to improve production efficiencies, manufacturing techniques, and production yields for existing products within a high-volume semiconductor FAB.
What you'll do
- Recommend and implement equipment and process modifications to improve production efficiencies and yields.
- Conduct routine data analysis and Statistical Process Chart (SPC) review to identify trends and shifts.
- Develop and conduct statistical analysis such as Design of Experiments (DOE) and Statistical Process Control (SPC).
- Perform Measurement System Analysis (MSA), Gage R&R, and tool to tool matching.
- Report and document process issues and equipment malfunctions, taking corrective action.
- Assist in creating new procedures and refining existing ones.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, or related STEM field.
- 5+ years of metrology engineering experience in a high-volume semiconductor FAB.
- Hands-on experience with specific metrology tools (e.g., CD-SEM, spectroscopic ellipsometry, XRF, XRD, SIMS, AFM, optical CD, capacitance-voltage (CV), hall measurements).
- Proficiency with SPC software and statistical methods (DOE, Gage R&R, MSA).
Nice to have
- Master's degree in a relevant STEM discipline.
- Experience with SiC or other wide bandgap semiconductor processes.
- Familiarity with specific metrology platforms (e.g., CD-SEM, ellipsometry, XRF, AFM, optical profilometry, overlay metrology).
- Proficiency in data analysis tools such as JMP, Minitab, Python, or R.
- Prior experience mentoring or leading junior engineers.
Skills: metrology engineering, high-volume semiconductor FAB, metrology tools, SPC software, CD-SEM, ellipsometry
