Job Description

We are looking to hire a talented, highly motivated integration engineer to develop new MEMS micro fabrication technologies. As an Integration Engineer with Broadcom’s Wireless Semiconductor Division (WSD), you will develop new FBAR (Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator) piezoelectric MEMs process technologies to support the wireless filter business. You will join our process development engineering team and work alongside other manufacturing and development engineers to develop and release new technologies for high volume manufacturing. 

The role will involve project management of new technology development activities including scoping, technical work, on-time delivery, and formal presentations. The role may also involve hands-on experimental work in the cleanroom and characterization labs (25-75%). You will be expected to understand key FBAR electrical and physical parameters and utilize CAD software such as Cadence and ADS to extend FBAR value propositions for next generation products. The successful candidate will be expected to function in our highly-collaborative and team-oriented environment including cross-functional groups on site and international teams. 

Roles and Responsibilities

- Hands-on visual, mechanical, and electrical evaluation of wafers. Validation of material to R&D specifications and manufacturing standards using metrology and physical analysis.

- Develop and execute DOEs. Develop and verify root-cause models and solutions.

- Lead technology development from concept to high-volume manufacturing readiness

- May need to research and evaluate new capabilities from vendors and drive the tool selection process.

- Create functional MEMS process flows while balancing competing engineering concerns such as quality, cost, and time.

- View, understand, and create layout artwork.

- Apply understanding of device physics and radio frequency (RF) technology to propose new processes and devices.

- Monitor technology developments in academia and industry
