Position Summary
Samsung Austin Semiconductor is looking for an Engineer to own and operate the fab-critical eSPEC application - our centralized repository of process, limit, recipe, overlay and defect specifications.

As the subject-matter expert, the engineer will be the go-to person for all eSPEC-related activities, including UI maintenance, back-end data integration, process-improvement initiatives, routine maintenance, and deep-dive troubleshooting. The role partners closely with fab engineering, MES teams, and our Korean development counterpart to keep the application and its database in perfect sync, drive migrations and upgrades, and continuously improve performance while preserving the reliability required for high-volume semiconductor production.
