The primary responsibility of the NPI Technician is to perform task processing and support the NPI and R&D part owners to develop processes for those new parts.

The NPI Technician will utilize equipment in the photolithography, wet process, metrology, and real-time defect analysis (RDA) area in CFA and work with the manufacturing team on engineering issues that impact progress of those new parts.

Shift : F-shift (6p 6a, Wed Fri and every other Saturday)

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to the following :

• Running engineering experiments that have been documented in a task, gathering required metrology data, reviewing data, setting up lots to run in CAMSTAR ( including, splitting / merging lots, future holds, , and adding documentation to task for updates.
