Senior Process Development Engineer - 2D growth

In this role you lead high-temperature thermal processing and graphene/2D-material growth for FabONE. You’ll qualify tools, optimize recipes, and drive stable processes on 300 mm wafers, working with cross-functional teams in a cleanroom setting. You shape process capability, defect control, and transfer of graphene growth to production, enabling scalable, repeatable deposition technology. Your work centers on advancing 2D-material integration for GFETs and optical modules, with a focus on impact and collaboration.
