Raytheon has an exciting opportunity for a Principal Engineer, Semiconductor Technical Lead to join our III-V process development team within the Microelectronics/Module Design & Foundry Services Department. In this role, you will work on cutting-edge gallium arsenide, gallium nitride-based devices, and III-V focal plane array fabrication.  We are seeking a highly skilled professional with a broad understanding of microelectronics processing, III-V device characteristics, reliability requirements, MMIC product performance, and failure analysis. As a Principal Engineer, Semiconductor Technical Lead, you will collaborate across all of engineering work centers in our III-V semiconductor wafer foundry to manage projects in process development, transition to production, yield improvement, and process sustainment. You will provide subject matter expertise from semiconductor fabrication perspective on reliability data, failure analysis, DC & RF test methods, MMIC performance, foundry layout, and design rules. You will also monitor progress, report on milestones, and drive foundry improvements. The ideal candidate is an innovative problem-solver with a demonstrated ability to think critically and creatively, both independently and in team settings. A strong background in microelectronics processing techniques, such as data analysis, foundry process integration, and process characterization, is essential. Excellent communication skills are key attributes when briefing leadership and driving execution amongst the team. The candidate is expected to work well in large and small, cross-functional teams, understand foundry processes, develop process improvements, establish root cause of yield drivers, drive implementation of solutions for MMIC product yield drivers and reliability failures, identify opportunities for future semiconductor processes, gather sponsorship and team resources, and execute activities. This is an onsite role and located in Andover, MA or Tewksbury, MA site, with Andover being the primary location.

Lead, manage, and support both independent and contract research and development projects Develop process development and yield improvement ideas followed by collaboration with Advanced Technology program team throughout the capture, proposal, award and execution phases of development programs Provide subject matter expertise of major yield drivers in the semiconductor foundry and serve as the technical interface with programs on MMIC yield loss and product failures at the next higher-level assembly Develop a semiconductor technology roadmap to identify and implement next-generation
