• You lead and develop the Thin Film & Wet Etch Engineering team, foster ownership and collaboration, support the professional development of your team members, and set clear priorities and goals
• Together with your team, you ensure stable and high-performing thin film and wet chemical processes
• You develop new processes, equipment capabilities, and manufacturing solutions from feasibility through to production readiness and take responsibility for their qualification, change management, and successful ramp-up.
• Together with internal and external partners, you define requirements for production equipment and support its evaluation, qualification, and further development
• You ensure stable processes and equipment, efficient engineering lots, and sustainably reduce recurring technical interventions
• In resource planning, you strike the right balance between production support, process improvement, and development projects
• You create transparency around progress, resources, and risks while keeping quality, safety, documentation, and environmental requirements firmly in focus.
• You consistently implement necessary corrective and improvement measures and verify their long-term effectiveness.

Your profile

You are a dedicated and empathetic leader who enjoys taking responsibility, developing people, and moving a team forward together. With your open and appreciative approach, you build trust, foster collaboration, and maintain a clear overview even in challenging situations. You communicate clearly, approach topics in a structured and solution-oriented manner, and demonstrate initiative and strong decision-making skills. You hold a Master’s degree in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Microtechnology, Physics, or a comparable technical discipline and have several years of industrial experience in the semiconductor industry, MEMS, microtechnology, or a similar high-tech manufacturing environment. In-depth knowledge of thin-film and/or wet-chemical processes and the associated production equipment is just as much part of your profile as experience in process development, qualification, ramp-up, and continuous improvement. Structured problem-solving, process capability, risk management, and statistical methods are an integral part of your daily work. Further education in leadership, project management, or quality management is an additional advantage.
