Director, Product Applications

I’m partnering with a leading semiconductor materials organization on a Director, Product Applications search, and we’re looking for someone who wants to have a real impact on how products move from technical development into customer qualification and commercialization.

This is not a traditional Applications Engineering management role . You’ll have the opportunity to lead and shape a global Product Applications organization while working closely with R&D, strategic customers, Product Management, Quality, Operations and Commercial teams.

What makes the role interesting?

You’ll have ownership across:

• Product characterization and application readiness

• Customer qualification and technical engagement

• Process recommendations, application windows and technical data packages

• Product commercialization and NPI

• Technical strategy and customer-facing support

• Building and developing a high-performing technical team

• Translating customer needs into product and commercialization priorities

The ideal background includes 12+ years in semiconductor materials, process engineering, applications engineering or advanced packaging , along with significant technical leadership experience.

Experience with lithography materials, semiconductor/packaging materials, temporary bonding/debonding, process chemicals or advanced packaging would be especially relevant.
