**Introduction** At IBM Research, we invent things that matter to the world. Today, we are pioneering the most promising and disruptive technologies that will transform industries and society, including the future of Hybrid Cloud, AI, and Quantum Computing. We are driven to discover and innovative. With more than 3,000 researchers in 12 labs located across six continents, IBM Research is one of the world’s largest and most influential corporate research labs. **Your role and responsibilities** We are seeking an experienced lead lithography engineer in the area of EUV lithography for advanced BEOL technology development. The hired candidate will be a demonstrated technical and industry leader in EUV lithography, BEOL patterning processes such as Trench/via multi-patterning , single expose pitch scaling, edge placement error budgets etc and/or EUV photoresist/underlayer/hardmask materials as demonstrated through work experience, project leadership or published work. The candidate will be a hands-on engineering leader with strong skills in guiding teams, technology definition decisions and materials selection from an early concept into mature elements that enables leading-edge technology. The candidate should also be a motivated self-starter, demonstrating strong understanding of industry trends and lithography roadmap in the interconnect area and able to clearly articulate and influence across departments to drive technical agenda in a fast-paced organization. The position also requires mentoring junior engineers to ensure execution of key workstreams. Hands on experience with CDSEM, stochastics analysis and large area inspection techniques is preferred. Familiarity with computational lithography (OPC/RET development) and test vehicle/mask design is a plus. Generation of Intellectual Property for IBM and protection of it through the patenting process are also expected. The hired candidates must possess strong analytical and design-of-experiment knowledge, excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. You must be willing to work in Albany, NY, with occasional day travel to Yorktown Heights, NY, and infrequent overnight travel to various locations worldwide.
