Why a CV for this job?

94% of employers say their filters drop qualified candidates whose CV does not match the ad's exact criteria (Harvard Business School, 2021).

  • They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
  • It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
  • In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
  • Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

Team Overview

The Epitaxy Manufacturing and Engineering teams are responsible for optimizing semiconductor growth processes. This team bridges the gap between material science theory and practical factory automation by leveraging metrology data to drive process stability and control.

Responsibilities

  • Process Automation & Development: Assist in developing automated recipe adjustment workflows. This involves using metrology outputs (PL and XRD) to create data-driven logic for automatic process corrections.
  • Metrology & Characterization: Perform engineering measurements and analyses, including defect analysis, Photoluminescence (PL), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), to evaluate epitaxial layer quality.
  • Documentation & Standard Work: Collaborate with senior engineers to draft and update MOCVD standard operating procedures (SOPs) for process control and systematic troubleshooting.
  • Data Analysis: Utilize statistical methods to correlate metrology data with reactor performance, identifying trends that impact yield and wafer uniformity.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Currently enrolled in Master’s or PhD degree program in semiconductor, electrical, optical, physical or a related major.
  • Foundational knowledge of concepts, tools, or methods relevant to the internship.
  • Demonstrated ability to apply classroom learning through coursework, projects, laboratory work, research, or other relevant experience.
  • Available for the full internship period.

Desired Qualifications

  • Solid understanding of textbook physics and engineering fundamentals
  • Familiarity with semiconductor epitaxy and/or characterization techniques is a plus (MBE, MOCVD, XRD, PL, or SEM).
  • Strong technical writing skills.
