Process Engineer III (Display OLED) - (E3)

Key Responsibilities

• Design and Execute Experiments: Plan, conduct, and analyze complex process engineering experiments, ensuring adherence to safety and quality standards.

• Problem Solving and Root Cause Analysis: Troubleshoot intricate process issues, perform thorough root cause analyses, and implement effective corrective actions.

• Technical Documentation: Prepare high-quality internal and external documentation, including technical reports, experimental findings, and presentations.

• Process Optimization: Drive performance and yield improvements in innovative display technologies, bridging the gap between new product introduction (NPI) and mass production.

• Integration and Process Development: Apply advanced integration skills—such as photolithography and etching—to develop and refine experimental processes.

• Contamination Control: Lead and support contamination control strategies throughout design and manufacturing phases.

• Cross-functional Collaboration: Engage with internal and external stakeholders across disciplines to align objectives, manage discussions, and foster collaboration.

• Innovation and Exploration: Investigate emerging technologies and propose novel solutions to advance display process capabilities.

Preferred Skills

• Fundamental Knowledge of Photolithography: Basic understanding of photolithography processes, including exposure and development techniques.

• Etching Experience: Practical experience with both dry and wet etching methods used in semiconductor or display fabrication.

• Thin Film Deposition Familiarity: General understanding of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), or other related technologies in display manufacturing.

• OLED Technology Awareness: Foundational knowledge of OLED materials, structures, and fabrication processes.

• Materials Analysis Tools: Experience with characterization techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS).

• TOEIC 800+

Desirable Experience

• TFT Technology Insight: Knowledge of Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) structures, operating mechanisms, and design principles.

• Display Module-Level Experience: Experience working with display modules, including integration, testing, and performance evaluation.

• Cleaning for UHV Applications: Experience with precision cleaning methods for components intended for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments, with attention to minimizing outgassing and contamination.

• Contamination Control Analysis Tools: Experience using analytical instruments such as Residual Gas Analyzer (RGA), Ion Chromatography (IC), and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for contamination detection and process cleanliness monitoring.

• Surface Treatment Experience: Familiarity with surface treatment techniques used during manufacturing—such as surface blasting, electro-polishing, or hair-line polishing—is a plus.

Core Competencies

• Functional Knowledge: Demonstrates both conceptual and practical expertise in their own discipline, along with a foundational understanding of related technical areas.

• Business Expertise: Applies knowledge of industry best practices and understands how their work integrates with broader business functions. Maintains awareness of market competition and key differentiators.

• Leadership: Serves as a resource for less experienced colleagues and may lead small-scale projects with manageable risks and resource requirements.

• Problem Solving: Tackles complex challenges by applying analytical thinking and offering fresh perspectives on existing solutions. Exercises sound judgment based on multiple sources of information.

• Impact: Influences a range of activities across customer, operational, project, or service domains within their team and adjacent teams, operating within broad guidelines and policies.

• Interpersonal Skills: Communicates difficult or sensitive information effectively and works collaboratively to build consensus among stakeholders.

• Growth Mindset: Open-minded and willing to question assumptions and challenge the status quo. Eager to learn new technologies and continuously improve.

• Team Orientation: Strong team player who contributes positively to group dynamics and shared goals.
