SMTS CMP Process Engineer

About usWe see the semiconductor industry as a realm of possibility. We see opportunity. We see the profound impact that our graphene solutions will have in transforming the industry. We invite you to join us in driving change with our fundamentally human-centered approach, uniting bright minds around a shared vision. The vision is: Prove to everybody that you can make a fundamental change. Prove with your knowledge and skills how things can be done differently. Together, we can change the paradigm of how the world connectsAbout our technologyThe semiconductor industry’s growing demand for more powerful chips with higher bandwidth and lower power finds its solution in our technology. We connect chips to high-throughput, low-delay computing networks. The key lies in harnessing the physical properties of graphene to combine electronic computing with photonic communication, allowing countless chips to interact almost as if they were one. Our graphene photonic innovation increases computing power and efficiency to a new order of magnitude  In short, we connect chips to create powerful and energy-efficient networks, overcoming connectivity limitations in the semiconductor industry. We deliver the graphene solutionThe RoleBlack Semiconductor is seeking a highly skilled CMP Process Engineer to lead the development and implementation of advanced CMP processes tailored to next-generation materials and device architectures, including 2D materials such as graphene. In this role, you will play a key part in fab startup activities—overseeing tool installation, acceptance testing, recipe validation, and initial process ramp-up. You will evaluate and define specifications for CMP tools and processes, collaborating with internal teams and equipment or material suppliers to select and qualify the best solutions. Additionally, you will establish the Process of Record (POR) and develop ramp-to-production protocols for all critical CMP steps. You will also work closely with facility and equipment teams to ensure seamless integration with supporting chemical delivery and waste systemsTo join our team, you should be excited toLead the development and implementation of CMP processes tailored to 2D materials (e.g., graphene) and novel device architecturesEvaluate and define process specifications; collaborate with internal stakeholders and vendors to select and qualify the CMP toolsOwn key fab startup activities, including tool installation, acceptance testing, recipe validation, and ramp-upEstablish and maintain Process of Record (POR) for critical clean steps; define ramp-to-production protocolsImplement and manage SPC systems, drive continuous improvement via data-driven methodologiesYour QualificationsMinimum 5 years of hands-on experience in semiconductor process engineering with a focus on CMPDeep understanding of contamination control, surface preparation, and CMP challengesProven experience working with CMP consumables, chemicals, process and hardwarePractical exposure to 2D material preparation and integration is a strong plus300mm plating tools hands-on experience (AMAT, Ebara etc.)Experience in fab startup, pilot line development, or technology ramp-up environments is highly desirableOur work culturePeople Over Processes. At Black Semiconductor, flexibility is key—we ensure work adapts to life, not the other way around.
