SUMMARY OF DUTIES

The Wafer Probing and Testing Engineer will be primarily responsible for maintaining and improving the wafer probing process, testing MEMS pressure sensor dies, and analyzing the test data at Merit Sensor Systems, Inc.'s Wafer Fab in South Jordan, Utah. This engineer will also assist the New Product Development team by creating recipes for the wafer prober, developing testing methods for the pressure sensor dies, and writing code as necessary. A thorough understanding of the probe and test equipment is essential, as the engineer will help troubleshoot any issues with the tools that may arise.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS PERFORMED

•    Independently evaluates, selects, and applies standard technical techniques, procedures, and criteria, using judgment in making minor adaptations and modifications.
•    Investigates a moderate number of technical variables in completing assignments that have clear and defined objectives.
•    Performs work which involves conventional types of plans, investigations, surveys, structures, or equipment with relatively few complex features for which there are precedents.
•    Works independently on standard projects while assistance is furnished on unusual problems.
•    Receives instructions on specific assignment objectives, complex features and possible solutions.
•    May supervise the work of engineers/technicians or others who assist in specific assignments and work jointly with other engineers.
•    Performs work of some higher technical level for continuing training purposes.
•    Works on special projects, writes ECNs, and creates prototypes under broad direction.
•    May have authority over NCMR’S.
•    Performs other related duties and tasks as required.
