Identify chemical risks of mixing chemistries (e.g. inorganic with organics) Verify chemical resistance of new or existing components (mainly plastics) when exposed to defined chemical Conduct material related tests for characterization and/or compatibility Drive material related failure analysis from units returned from field Test and define hardware limits related to chemical properties (viscosity, concentration, temperature, etc.) Drive the release of recent chemicals on customer requests in alignment with design, safety & process Provide technical data in trade-off tables to summarize usable materials in the design/redesign phases with correlated risks. Experience in Materials Science, Chemistry, or relevant discipline, with a robust understanding of materials used in deposition groups, cleaning processes, and optoelectronic device packaging, particularly plastics. Demonstrate experience with thermoplastic and thermoset plastic materials,



including their fabrication processes, characterization, and analytical methods. Conduct deep-dive material/Chemical analysis using techniques such as EDX, XRD, AFM, GC-MS, and similar methods. Summarize failure analysis findings in comprehensive reports and effectively communicate results with stakeholders, customers, and suppliers. Exhibit strong analytical and problem-solving skills to evaluate root causes and propose effective solutions. Progress towards becoming a key technical expert in Chemical engineering, contributing to sustainable transit solutions and advancing leadership in cross-functional projects. Experience in Semiconductor Wafer Fab Equipment (WFE) domain (Good to have) Excellent communication, both written and verbal, and technical presentation skills.
