Summary:

We have an exciting opportunity within the Advanced Circuit and Packaging (ACP) business for a R&D Chemist, located in Marlborough, MA.

The position in the R&D Development group of ACP will focus on the development, optimization and commercialization of new products in a broad range including metal plating, photoresists and dielectric materials in the semiconductor industry.

Key areas of focus will include:

• Organic synthesis, formulation and filtration, analytical characterization (GPC, HPLC, SEM, Particle measurements, etc.), electrochemical analysis (CVS, Electroplating, Titration, etc.) and cleanroom & fab activities.
• This role will demand strong interpersonal relationships with other team members and requires good communication and analytical processing of experimental data.
• The successful candidate will drive evaluation and characterization aspects of critical projects and assist in data analysis and interpretation/presentation of key results, internally.
• The highest levels of ethical conduct, quality science, and adherence to our culture of safety is a prerequisite for success in this role.

• Associate investigator focusing on panel and wafer-level processing techniques, comfortable with exploring advanced/non-standard methods for unique applications.
• Adept at hands-on lab work, creative thinking, problem solving in a unique and fast-paced laboratory environment.
• Hands-on work in the lab for organic & polymer synthesis, purification, filtration, ion exchange and analytical characterization to support raw material supply and process development on the scale from 100 mL to 20 L.
• Support polymer synthesis in lab-scale to kilo-lab and pilot-scale.
• Develop and execute analytical methods to characterize raw materials and products.
• Support development of new formulations used in electroplating and Polymeric / Dielectric products for the microelectronics industry.
• Prepare lab-scale lacquer and formulation of products to support timely customer sampling.

• Analytical techniques include CVS, HPLC, UPLC, GPC, % solids, titrations, potentiostatic measurements, surface tension, cloud point, densitometer, and rheometer.
• Organic synthesis skills to support material development.
• Assume responsibility for execution of cleanroom workflows such as laminations, coatings, lithography and cure techniques, as well as thermal and mechanical analysis.
• Support Quality and Manufacturing for root cause investigations and customer complaints.
• Strict adherence to enhanced safety protocols and ability to work safely and participate in all group safety activities.
• Proper documentation including new methods, method validation, batch data, management of change, etc.

• B.S. or Associate degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science or relevant fields with industrial lab experience
• 1-2 years of hands on organic synthesis experience to support polymer synthesis and development
• Hands-on industrial experience in semiconductor fab or similar environment and familiarity with material characterization, wafer-level metrology and/or thin film analysis
• Experience with thermal and mechanical analysis tools and techniques
• Understanding of analytical techniques used to characterize small organic molecules, polymers, and inorganic chemicals. Hands-on experience highly preferred
• Highly motivated and effective team player
• Strong data analysis skills; experience using JMP or other statistical tools is strongly preferred
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively with diverse teams
• Demonstrated ability to work safely with hazardous chemicals
