Summary of Role: GlobalFoundries is seeking an experienced Metrology Technologist in Fab 8 to develop the metrology roadmap, strategy and capability evaluation for development and high-volume manufacturing with a strong focus on Quantum Technology Solutions . In this role, you will utilize your expertise in state-of-the-art metrology methods—including CD-SEM (Critical Dimension Scanning Electron Microscopy), thin-film thickness measurements, overlay metrology, and scatterometry to support both cutting-edge technology development and rigorous production process control.

You will play a strategic role in ensuring that our processes meet specifications for advanced technology nodes, directly impacting product yield, quality, and the success of our technology ramp. Additionally, you will be responsible for defining and driving the metrology roadmap, aligning measurement capabilities with evolving process requirements and future technology needs. Essential Responsibilities:    Lead strategic roadmap & execution for Metrology capability development and volume manufacturing for CD-SEM, film thickness, overlay, and scatterometry tools.

Ensure these processes are optimized to meet the needs of advanced process development projects and high-volume manufacturing control. Process Control & Data Analysis: Analyze metrology data to monitor process performance and stability. Use Statistical Process Control (SPC) and other data analysis techniques to detect trends or anomalies, and work with process engineers to implement improvements or corrective actions that enhance yield and product performance.

Tool Setup and Calibration: Oversee the setup and calibration of metrology equipment (CD-SEM systems, ellipsometers or other thickness measurement tools, overlay metrology systems, optical scatterometry tools, etc.). Troubleshoot instrument issues, ensure measurement accuracy, and coordinate with equipment engineers and vendors for maintenance or tool improvements. Advanced Technology Development Support: Collaborate with R&D and process integration teams on the development of new semiconductor technologies.

Provide metrology expertise during experimental process runs, evaluate the metrology requirements for new processes, and help integrate new measurement techniques that align with evolving technology node requirements. Continuous Improvement: Drive continuous improvement in metrology methods and procedures. Implement best-known methods to increase measurement precision, throughput, and reliability.

Stay abreast of emerging metrology technologies or techniques and assess their potential adoption to maintain our competitive edge in process control. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams including process engineering, production operations, yield/reliability engineering, and equipment supplier partners to ensure measurement strategies are effective and well-integrated.

Clearly communicate metrology findings and constraints to stakeholders and contribute to decision-making that affects process adjustments or tool selection. Documentation and Compliance: Maintain detailed documentation of metrology procedures, recipes, and calibration records. Ensure all metrology activities adhere to cleanroom protocols, safety guidelines, and quality management standards. Provide training or guidance to production teams and new engineers on metrology best practices as needed.

Other Responsibilities:   Perform all activities in a safe and respons
