Process Integration Engineer

About Us: Vertical Compute is an early-stage deep tech startup dedicated to pioneering next-generation memory technologies for advanced computing architecture. Our mission is to redefine the well-known trade-offs of semiconductor memory devices, ultimately enabling the future of computing. We are welcoming passionate, experienced, and forward-thinking colleagues to join our dynamic team and disrupt the industry together.

About what you will do: 

This isn’t your typical integration role. As Process Integration Engineer, you’ll be at the center of the action, linking process, device, and test engineering and making real decisions that impact how breakthrough technologies come to life.

What you’ll do:

• Engineer smarter flows → design and optimize process integration to cut steps, speed up cycles, and maximize learning.

• Take ownership in the fab → set up and run integration flows in imec’s MES system, manage lots through process flows.

• Push processes further → collaborate with unit process engineers, fine-tune recipes, and hit ambitious device targets.

• Deep-dive into data → interpret SEM, TEM, EELS/EDX, and metrology insights and translate them into action.

• Link process to device performance → understand the interplay between process steps on device performance.

• Tell the story → turn raw data into sharp insights, clear reports, and strategies that move our tech forward.
