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 leading epitaxial growth of crystalline semiconductors you will focus on production and development of critical diode 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 exhibits leadership qualities who supports production goals and participates in the development of state-of-the-art, cost competitive, crystalline HgCdTe materials for next generation advanced IR sensors. As part of a multi-functional team, you will be involved quantifying critical growth parameters for our Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE) systems, and in the development of meaningful, trackable process metrics. You will be responsible to derive conclusions and make decisions on technical directions.

Developing in depth knowledge of LPE growth mechanisms is essential. This includes utilization of materials characterization techniques or metrology that provide data to derive growth processes. You will assess process variability through advanced mathematical methods and statistical analysis, apply process controls to assure repeatability for transition into production. You will further establish correlation with upstream customer metrics to assure higher level compatibility and system level yield.

Liquid Phase Epitaxy fabrication requires to be able to work in a controlled, clean-room environment as well as a fundamental understanding of temperature controlled, vacuum and high-pressure equipment. 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 leading key 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 bulk crystal growths and Molecular Beam Epitaxy. It is encouraged to interface with industry networks and to maintain relationship with universities to maintain a current, up-to-date understanding of state of the art..
