As a WSD Fab Test Unit Process Engineer (TUPE), you will have a mix of both tactical and strategic responsibilities.
The tactical responsibilities of the TUPE are to keep the owned test tool sets functioning as expected ensuring the continuous flow of lots and wafers through the various test operations. This generally consists of review and resolution of the control charts, calibration coefficients, and reference wafer results of the test systems, as well as reviewing and resolving lot/wafer holds and dispositions that are tester related.
The strategic responsibilities of the TUPE can be continuous improvement projects, enhanced capability or migration, or completely new measurement requirements driven by new technology required for R&D or NPI and intended for the owned test system tool sets.
Assignments can be complex and variable in nature and require judgment, initiative, and technical/specialized knowledge.
