Materials Engineer

Soitec is a company listed on the CAC Next 20 index of the Paris Stock Exchange that operates upstream of the microelectronics value chain. Our innovative semiconductor materials are essential to the operation of smartphones and the deployment of 5G. They also offer numerous opportunities for connected automobiles, electric and autonomous vehicles and embedded intelligence in connected objects. 

This position gives us an incredible responsibility, which inspires us every day: to make possible the massive adoption of technological innovations while considerably limiting their environmental impact, in a logic of responsible innovation and sustainable development.

At the heart of our product design, the materials we source from our suppliers (Silicon, LTO, SiC, etc.) are crucial to the success of our products in terms of performance, cost and quality.

Within the Innovation department, the Materials engineer plays a key role in contributing to the definition of Soitec’s technological roadmap and in bringing this innovation to our strategic suppliers.

As a materials engineer, you ensure the development of new substrates and new sources ‘in time’ for SOITEC applications within the 300mm Silicon materials division.

Technical interface between SOITEC and its suppliers, you establish and manage the roadmaps for development and continuous improvement of materials concerning your supplier account or your product assignment.

You establish technical specifications in line with our requirements and those of our customers; then coordinate and participate in the qualifications of new substrates. In the event of a deviation or crisis, you know how to take the lead and work closely with the purchasing, integration, quality and manufacturing teams.

It is therefore a profession that is both technical and interactive, both internally with all the players in the manufacturing process, the Business Units, purchasing, quality and the supply chain, and externally, with our strategic suppliers in Asia, the US or Europe.

On a daily basis, what really spices up the position, beyond the daily international exchanges, is measuring our ability to discuss as equals with the biggest players in the market based on our technical expertise and our capacity for innovation.

France, Jean Baptiste and Sébastien, each with their supplier(s), affirm that in these collaborations like no other, success is even more delicious…

Holder of a Bac+5 Engineer in the field of physics, chemistry or processes would be a plus.

Your technical background in processes or material physics will facilitate your understanding of the impact of our materials on our SOI products.

Experience in industrial account management (suppliers or customers) would be a plus.

You must have the ability to lead working groups both internally and be able to manage action plans at our suppliers.
