Cabot Microelectronics Corporation (�CMC�) is the leading supplier of sophisticated polishing
slurries used in the manufacture of advanced semiconductors (chips) and rigid disks � critical
components that drive today�s electronics � from desktop and laptop computers, cellular phones
and electronic games, to personal data assistants, telecommunication switchboards and servers.
CMC is a global company with facilities in Asia, Europe and United States. The company is
headquartered in Aurora, Illinois. 

CMC currently has an immediate need for a Sr. CMP Engineer�Enabling Integration.
The Sr. CMP Engineer� Enabling Integration The CMP Engineer will be responsible for providing
technical leadership in the area of CMP processing to the Enabling team. This role will be
responsible for providing CMP process support and direction to a group within the Enabling team
developing new slurry technology and products. The Sr. CMP Engineer will also be responsible
for developing CMP processes and execute the polishing that will support the technology
development efforts of the team as they develop competitively advantaged new technologies.

The key responsibilities of the Sr. CMP Engineer� Enabling Integration are: 

� Plan, Design and Execute research to develop processes enabling the use of new and innovative
slurries.
� Effectively manage, document, analyze and periodically communicate to the Group the results
of the investigation.
� Work as part of a high performance team developing new, competitively advantaged slurries and
provide the CMP process support and technical input required for effective technology
development.
� Interface with technical management and customers for needs.
� Interface with product development team for technology transfer.
� Provide mentoring and training to junior level CMP personnel to increase their understanding
of CMP processes and analysis of experiments.
� Enable successful customer & co-supplier evaluation of CMC slurries by participating in the
design and execution of internal and external customer demos.
� Work with the technical marketing group to define the technical presentations related to
Copper/Barrier technology.

Required Qualifications:

� BS level degree or equivalent experience required, advanced degree preferred in a related
scientific or electronics technology discipline.
� At least 5 years professional experience, with at least 3 focused on CMP.
� Technical � CMP process technology experience a must: experience with CMP polishing equipment
& thin film metrology tools & ability to assess outputs (removal rates, WIWNU, planarization
efficiency, defectivity, process run variability.) Knowledge of semiconductor process
integration is a significant plus.
� Business/Managerial � Management of customer relationships to facilitate the exchange of
technical information. Initiative to obtain at least high level appreciation of business
climates that affect our customers; accountability & integrity to manage projects
� Behavioral � The candidate must be flexible and tolerant of ambiguous, ever-changing climate.
In this environment, the candidate needs to therefore, maintain commitment to the tasks at
hand. This will require efficient planning, prioritizing and goal setting. In the course of CMP
experimentation the candidate will need to be able to make critical decisions with limited
information and to generate creative solutions to any product performance/process problems. To
this end, an acute attention to detail is critical. The candidate will need to demonstrate the
ability to mentor others to help them better understand CMP and integration issues to improve
their contribution to the team and to allow for their career growth. Above all, the candidate�s
goals must be aligned with a focus on customer requirements.
� Computer � Microsoft Office applications skills (Especially Excel; Word, PowerPoint as well)
necessary.
