Senior / Lead Process Engineer - GaN Epitaxy (APM), IME

Agency for Science, Technology and Research – Queenstown

We are seeking a talented and passionate Senior / Lead Process Engineer to join our epitaxy team. You'll play a crucial role in developing cutting‑edge platform technologies for high‑speed and medium voltage power devices, pushing the boundaries of performance and efficiency.

Responsibilities

• Develop innovative GaN‑on‑SiC HEMT epitaxial processes on an MOCVD system, focusing on recipe development to achieve high carrier mobility, low threading dislocation density, on 6″ / 8″ substrates.
• Design experiments to minimize line defects, point defects and extended defect density, with emphasis on enhancing GaN HEMT device performance.
• Perform selective GaN regrowth for contact formation.
• Conduct metrology and characterization of GaN / AlGaN epilayers (carrier mobility, threading dislocation density, FWHM rocking curve, thickness uniformity, surface roughness, crystal quality, stress).
• Prepare technical presentations and papers for internal meetings, conferences and journals.
• Collaborate with NSTIC‑GaN and related teams to solve key technical challenges in the GaN RF electronics industry.
• Publish technical papers and draft technical disclosures / IP.
• Contribute ideas towards new funding proposals.
• Perform all other reasonable duties as assigned.
