Memory Process Integration Engineer, Terafab

What to Expect We are building Terafab, a vertically integrated semiconductor factory at an unprecedented scale. The facility houses logic, memory, packaging, test, and lithography mask production under one roof, optimized for rapid iteration and maximum compute density per square foot.

As a Memory Process Integration Engineer, you will own the integration of unit processes for DRAM and emerging memory technologies, driving density, retention reliability, and manufacturability from early concept through high-volume production. This is a ground-level role at one of the most ambitious fab programs in the world.

What You'll Do Own end-to-end process integration for DRAM cell structures from capacitor design through full-flow execution and HVM readiness

Define integration schemes for advanced DRAM nodes (sub-20nm half-pitch) including deep trench or stacked capacitor architectures

Develop memory cell integration flows optimizing for capacitance density, leakage control, and refresh characteristics

Partner with process teams (etch, deposition, implant, CMP) to define process windows for memory-specific modules: STI, wordline formation, storage node contact, capacitor dielectric, and cell plate structures

Develop and maintain process flow documentation, integration decision logs for memory arrays and peripheral circuits

Lead root cause analysis and systematic yield improvement across full-flow integration splits, including pattern-dependent fail analysis

Interface with equipment, metrology, and data teams to establish inline monitoring and SPC at key integration checkpoints for memory-critical parameters: capacitance, retention time, junction leakage

Collaborate with memory circuit design teams to validate sense amplifier margins, refresh timing, and device frequency targets

Drive integration development for emerging memory technologies (MRAM, RRAM, or 3D DRAM) as Terafab expands memory roadmap

Support technology transfer and ramp readiness as Terafab scales memory production

What You'll Bring Degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or equivalent experience

5+ years of engineering experience in a high-volume memory fab (DRAM, 3D NAND, or emerging memory)

Deep knowledge of at least one advanced DRAM node (sub-25nm) and its capacitor integration tradeoffs

Hands-on experience with memory-specific integration challenges: high aspect ratio etch, capacitor dielectric reliability, storage node contact resistance, retention optimization

Proficiency with statistical tools (JMP, R, Python) for DOE design, SPC, and memory bit-yield analysis

Experience with DRAM capacitor architectures: deep trench, stacked capacitor (cylinder or pillar), or high-k dielectric integration

Familiarity with 3D memory architectures (3D NAND, 3D DRAM) or emerging memory technologies (MRAM, RRAM, FeRAM)

Experience standing up a new memory process flow from scratch in a greenfield environment

Demonstrated ability to drive cross-functional alignment across unit process, equipment, and memory design teams

Ability to travel internationally (10%)
