Description
Diamond Foundry Inc. is solving the thermal limitation at the foundation of today's most exciting tech industries -- AI & cloud compute, electric-car power electronics, and 5G/6G wireless. We have managed to produce the world's first single-crystal diamond wafers and are now on a mission to put a diamond behind every chip. We are the rare unicorn that has grown fast and profitably. We received $515m in funding and are executing a multi-$B expansion plan for one of the greenest forms of tech manufacturing: converting greenhouse gas into diamond wafers using zero-emission energy.

We're seeking a highly skilled and experienced R&D Process Engineer to pioneer the development of processes enabling the application of diamonds in AI chips and power electronics. As an integral part of our seasoned team of mechanical, electrical, and materials engineers, you will play a key role in advancing the development of the Si thinning and polishing process to enable advanced bonding for maximizing diamond-enhanced performance. An ideal candidate brings expertise in Si thinning/polishing processes and a track record of on-time, within-budget project delivery through effective cross-functional teamwork.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop 200mm/300mm CMOS wafer thinning/polishing processes to achieve ultrathin Si with semiconductor grade flatness and roughness.
  • Develop temporary bonding processes for device wafer/die on carrier wafers to support subsequent thinning and/or permanent bonding processes.
  • Develop technology and processes to singulate thinned device wafers bonded on carrier wafers.
  • Engage with equipment vendors to facilitate tool acquisition, installation, and qualification.
  • Design and execute DOE to optimize the process to achieve high quality, low cost, and good manufacturability, and create comprehensive documentations of process control scheme for the operation team to ensure smooth production ramp.

Requirements:

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in the thinning/polishing process and equipment in the semiconductor, HDD, MEMS, or related industries, and experience in temporary bonding adhesive and process is a plus.
  • Solid understanding of surface and substrate roughness, cleanness, flatness, warpage characterization metrologies, including AFM, WLI, profiler, CSAM, CLSM.
  • Skilled in statistical data analytics, including DOE, JMP, SPC, APC and FMEA, and experienced in Lean Manufacturing/Six Sigma methodologies and practices.
  • Effective communication skills and ability to thrive in a cross-functional development team.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
