The Team

Join the Fusion team in 2025! Fusion is a rotational training program within the Applied Materials Semiconductor Equipment business unit located in Gloucester, MA. It is designed to attract, assimilate, grow, and retain the most talented engineers entering the industry today.

During the first two years of employment, Process Engineers hired into the Fusion Program will go through a series of rotational assignments and work on state-of-the-art implantation equipment which are the backbone of the semiconductor industry. Through novel engineering we are advancing processes such as doping, and material modification.

Role:

Work on ion implantation system process characterization and highlight superior performance or identify area to be improved for winning products. Interact with field process engineering and product engineering team to solve complex problems and develop Best Known Method solutions for stable process quality. Develop new ion implant process to enable semiconductor device scaling and performance/yield improvement working with IC manufacturers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collect data, analyze it, and compile reports on basic process engineering experiments

• Perform hardware characterization on basic systems

• Demonstrate efficiency of Ion Implanters to support demos and meet efficiency targets

• Troubleshoot problems, perform root cause analysis, and resolve process engineering issues

• Preparation of clear, succinct reports to summarize technical results

• Interact with customers to resolve basic process engineering issues/problems under direct supervision

• Cross-organizational work with development and product marketing teams

• Implement new technology, products, and analytical instrumentation

• Program starts in summer 2025, on-site at our Gloucester, MA campus
