About Benjamen Taber

I’m a physical chemist and staff process engineer with a passion for innovation, continuous improvement, and cross-functional leadership in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. At Qorvo, I lead high-impact initiatives, including process and yield improvements, strategic initiatives, and BAW filter development.My work has delivered measurable business outcomes—such as yield improvements worth 3% of annual site revenue and creating new products to serve customer needs—while also advancing Qorvo’s technical leadership through peer-reviewed publications and intellectual property contributions.I bring a unique blend of academic rigor (Ph.D. in Chemistry, M.S. in Applied Physics), cross-functional leadership, and industry experience, with a strong foundation in nanoscience, spectroscopy, and device physics. I’m also a committed mentor, safety advocate, and co-leader of Qorvo’s NextGen group, where we aim to inspire the next generation of employees.I’m known for my collaborative mindset, strategic thinking, and ability to communicate complex ideas clearly across disciplines. I thrive in fast-paced environments, lead with empathy, and bring a systems-level perspective to problem-solving and decision-making.Let’s connect if you’re interested in semiconductors, RF systems, process engineering, or collaborative leadership in high-tech environments.*If we have not interacted recently, please include a note in your connection request.*\', ‘impetuous’ \'.
