Review abnormal trends, out-of-specification or out-of-trend results, measurement excursions, and data-integrity concerns; ensure appropriate containment, investigation rigor, root-cause analysis, CAPA, and effectiveness verification.
Use statistical methods to evaluate bias, precision, stability, capability, repeatability, reproducibility, and measurement-system contribution to total process variation.
Develop and maintain controlled procedures, method documentation, technical reports, validation protocols, training materials, qualification criteria, and audit-ready records.
Support internal, external, and customer audits as needed; provide objective technical evidence and clearly communicate method capability, measurement uncertainty, data limitations, and risk.
Translate product and process requirements into practical metrology strategies, sampling plans, acceptance criteria, and quality controls.
Drive alignment of best-known methods, instrument platforms, data review practices, and escalation criteria across sites while recognizing justified site- or product-specific requirements.
Build and maintain a thin-film metrology capability roadmap addressing capacity, redundancy, obsolescence, automation, digital integration, reference standards, and future business needs.
Provide technical coaching and training to engineers, scientists, chemists, and technicians; lead cross-functional improvement projects without direct supervisory authority.
Maintain a safe laboratory environment and ensure work follows applicable EHS, chemical-handling, equipment, and waste-disposal requirements.
What We Seek
Bachelor’s degree in chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Material Science or related field required, M.S. or Ph.D. preferred.
Minimum of 5 years of related experience in thin-film, coating, surface, semiconductor, advanced-materials, or precision-metrology environments.
Strong knowledge of analytical chemistry, materials science, physics, semiconductor materials, thin films, ceramic materials, and metrology.
Experience with thin-film metrology tools such as spectroscopic ellipsometry, reflectometry, profilometry, optical or confocal microscopy, interferometry, thickness mapping, AFM, SEM/EDS, XRR, XRD, or related surface and structural characterization techniques.
Demonstrated ability to develop, validate, troubleshoot, or sustain thin-film metrology methods and interpret complex measurement data.
Working knowledge of ISO 17025 and ISO 9001 standards, Good Laboratory Practices, and Good Manufacturing Practices.
Proficiency in statistical analysis, quality management systems, and measurement controls such as SPC/SQC, stability, accuracy, bias, precision, uncertainty, gauge R&R, correlation, and matching.
Experience applying quality and problem-solving tools, including FMEA, Pareto analysis, histograms, trend analysis, process mapping, design of experiments, cause-and-effect analysis, and 8D methodology.
Ability to understand customer quality requirements and translate them into practical metrology controls and improvement actions.
