The Role: 

• Entegris is seeking a Formulation Scientist to join our team. In this role, you will apply your expertise in chemistry in the development of new chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) slurry formulations, which requires determining structure-activity relationships, proposing and validating mechanisms of action, and using advanced statistical analysis to support your results. The Scientist will own specific aspects of a development project and will be expected to design experiments and analyze generated data. The role must be able to communicate and discuss results directly with Global-R&D peers and cross-function partners. 
   

In this role you will: 

• Work collaboratively with our engineering, new material development, advanced analytical analysis, and customer facing teams to develop groundbreaking and robust CMP slurry formulation solutions for our customers. 

• Build an understanding of structure-activity relationships around abrasive particle, polymer, and small molecule slurry components. 

• Apply lab-based methods to screen additives, probe mechanism of action, and ensure product robustness using your expertise and statistically robust experimental designs. 

• Design and execute CMP experiments with engineering team to verify slurry performance on test wafers. 

• Analyze outcomes of experiments using advanced statistical tools and be able to use those results to logically plan future experiments. 

• Create technical presentations to be shared within R&D, internal stakeholders, and customers. 

Traits we believe make a strong candidate: 

• MS/Ph D in chemistry, chemical engineering, material science, polymer chemistry, Physical chemistry and related field 

• Strong ability to design, execute, and analyze experiments that elucidate key function, mechanisms, or properties of chemical additives. 

• +2 years experience for PhD, +7 years experience for MS 

• Experience working with polymers, surfactants, or particles within a laboratory environment. 

• Demonstrated independence in successfully completing projects, either individually or within collaborations or research groups 

• English skill to communicate with global team 

• Communication and Networking with other division or team. 

• Data analysis for formulation improvement by statistical methods 

• Participation in safety initiatives and a strong dedication to a safety-first culture 

Your success will be measured by: 

• To be a team player and demonstrate leadership attributes.  

• Prioritize project/activities and meet the goals 

• Demonstration of creativity/innovation 

• Collaborative approach to working within a team environment
