TFE Senior Process Engineer

You will manage a cluster of CVD tools and assume responsibility for all aspects of process development and process quality within the cluster, along with the support of the other cluster members.

As Senior Process Engineer you have a significant number of responsibilities and will therefore be highly influential in helping the team to achieve their many goals and targets.

As a Senior Process Engineer:

• Your mission will be to define and coordinate the development of CVD deposition processes within your tool cluster.
• You will also be responsible for the monitoring, control and improvement of existing CVD processes within your tool cluster.
• You will organise and manage the workload of the tool cluster among yourself and the other cluster members to ensure all KPIs are met.
• You will report the performance of your tool cluster on a monthly basis to the TFE team leader.
• You plan and execute development activities, delivering on-time high quality results to our customers that meets or exceeds their requirements.
• To achieve this, you will be expected to take a significant hands-on role within the clean room.
• You report progress, results and opportunities to various organisational levels both internally as well as to customers and partners.
