Education & Experience

A master's degree in a technical discipline, such as Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field, is required. An advanced degree is preferred. A minimum of five years of experience in CMP-related processes and/or semiconductor device manufacturing is required. Experience in semiconductor fabrication and process integration is highly desirable.

Your success will be measured by:

Utilize in-depth knowledge of semiconductor CMP processes to interpret and uncover the Voice of the Customer (VoC) and Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) requirements, ensuring customer needs are effectively addressed.
Partner with Sales Account Managers and cross-functional teams to introduce, present, and promote technical solutions and products to customers.
Build strong customer relationships and strategic partnerships, serving as the primary technical liaison between the customer and internal teams.
Develop expert-level knowledge of customer integration schemes and effectively communicate customer requirements, challenges, and opportunities to internal stakeholders.
Lead and actively participate in Technical Exchange Meetings (TEMs), demonstrating deep mechanistic understanding of CMP processes and customer applications.
Take ownership of assigned projects and drive customer qualification and adoption activities to successful completion.
Collaborate closely with customers and internal teams to advance project milestones and accelerate product adoption.
