Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJeff Nettleton is a Sr. Advanced Technology Engineer with 14 years of hands-on semiconductor manufacturing and process engineering experience across silicon and III-V fabs, currently advancing photolithography and integration at nLIGHT. He brings deep technical mastery of photolithography tools (steppers, mask aligners, EBPG ebeam), liftoff and wet chemistry, dry etch, anneal, and metrology suites (SEM/FIB/EDX, AFM, Zygo, ellipsometry) plus practical ownership of capital equipment specification and qualification. His background includes leading photolithography for L1 fabs at Raytheon and driving yield-improving corrective actions and process development at Lockheed Martin, where he combined statistical DOE and hands-on failure analysis to deliver multi-million dollar cost avoidance. Conversational Japanese and an unusual academic path—an MA in Applied Orthodox Theology alongside a BS in Physics—underscore a disciplined, curious thinker who pairs technical rigor with cross-cultural communication.
