* MS degree in Engineering
* Broad knowledge related to semiconductor processing, device physics, and data analysis
* Experience with processing of III-V compound semiconductor devices particularly Gallium Nitride or Gallium Arsenide
* Ability to lead and coordinate technical projects with diverse and cross-functional teams
* Experience in statistical process control and lean manufacturing methods
* Demonstrated experience in high paced manufacturing environments
* Experience with characterizing, understanding, and improving semiconductor device performance and reliability
* Experience with root cause investigations and corrective action implementation
* Highly skilled at multitasking, having attention to detail, and teamwork abilities
Security: Will require Department of Defense (DoD) Secret level security clearance; current clearance preferred.

This position requires the ability to obtain and hold a DoD secret security clearance.

This position requires the successful issuance, transfer or maintenance of any clearances and/or accesses necessary for the position.
