Data Scientist Co-op

Applied Materials is a global leader in materials science and engineering solutions. Its equipment is foundational to nearly every new semiconductor chip and advanced display, and it supports the development of AI and next-generation chips.

The Gloucester Applications Lab, Metrology team is looking for a motivated Co-op to help modernize statistical process control (SPC) and tool-health monitoring. The role combines data analytics, visualization, process improvement, and hands-on work with engineers and technicians in a semiconductor applications-lab setting.

Key Responsibilities

• Review, organize, and standardize existing SPC charts, control plans, and monitoring protocols across metrology systems and process tools.
• Support the lab data-repository initiative by consolidating and migrating data from legacy metrology tools, including TW and Rs systems, to a centralized network location.
• Assess current SPC performance and identify charts, limits, or workflows that need investigation or improvement, including processes with weak capability indicators such as Cpk.
• Build a centralized dashboard and data-visualization solution so engineers and technicians can review SPC trends, tool health, and exceptions efficiently.
• Create clear pass/fail status indicators and an alerting workflow that notifies process technicians when a tool passes or fails an SPC check.
• Automate or simplify recurring data collection, chart generation, review, and reporting where practical.
• Work with engineers and process technicians to define user requirements, test solutions, document workflows, and support adoption.
• Prepare concise technical documentation and present project progress, findings, and recommendations to the Applications Lab team.

Co-op start date is January 2027, onsite at the Gloucester, MA location. The role involves up to 10% travel.
