Posting Title: Semiconductor Engineer

At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world. 

As a Scientist or Engineer involved in the production crystalline semiconductors substrates you will focus on execution and process improvements of critical materials for Infrared Sensors at Raytheon Vision Systems, a provider of leading-edge sensing technology. We are looking for an individual who must demonstrate a safety-first work routine.  A scientist/engineer who supports production goals and participates in the development of state-of-the-art, cost competitive, single crystal substrates for next generation advanced IR sensors. As part of a multi-functional team, you will be involved in process improvements through critical metrology data analysis, equipment support, tooling development and the development of meaningful, trackable process metrics.

Developing detailed knowledge of individual substrate production steps including associated metrology is essential. Examples include materials handling in glovebox, chemical polishing, quartz vessel (ampoule) assembly and cleaning. Metrology of particular importance is FTIR. Through metrology you will assess process variability utilizing software tools, and apply advanced mathematical methods and statistical analysis, to assure repeatability in production.

Crystalline substrate fabrication requires to be able to work in a controlled, clean-room environment as well as developing fundamental understanding of production equipment such as precision sawing, polishing and chemical treatments. You will work in a team environment that will require detailed communication to direct technicians and to interface with colleagues collaboratively. You will be participating in production meetings in addition to engineering projects. Understanding of production goals with associated urgency of schedule is equally important to research and development. In that role you will further engage collaboratively with internal and external customers involved in diode growths via Molecular Beam Epitaxy or Liquid Phase Epitaxy.
