- Develop and maintain process documentation, including process flows, specifications, and integration guidelines.
- Interface with fab operations, maintenance, and R&D teams to implement process changes and monitor their impact on yield and reliability.
- Own flying probe electrical test for the process. Automate output and reporting of data from the tools.
- Monitor reworks and reworks rates and implement process solutions to reduce the rework rate.
- Support ramp-up activities from R&D to high-volume manufacturing.
EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, AND SKILLS REQUIRED:
- Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
- Minimum 3-5 years of hands-on experience in semiconductor process integration or yield engineering in a fab environment.
- Strong understanding of semiconductor process flows, and integration challenges.
- Proficiency in data analysis tools (e.g., JMP, Python, MATLAB) and statistical methods.
- Experience with defect inspection, electrical test, and metrology tools.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills for cross-functional collaboration.
