Partner with Process and Equipment Engineering to translate yield signatures into physical process hypotheses and validate corrective actions.
Define and execute structured experiments and DOE to validate suspected yield drivers and optimize process windows.
Use SPC and process-capability analysis to identify process variation and opportunities for improved manufacturing control.
Correlate WAT, wafer sort, inline process-monitoring, defect, and manufacturing data to identify yield improvement opportunities.
Work with Failure Analysis teams to develop appropriate physical-analysis plans and translate findings into manufacturing actions.
Develop analyses and engineering reports that clearly communicate yield trends, excursions, root causes, improvement opportunities, and project status.
Lead cross-functional technical reviews for significant yield excursions and improvement programs.
Support new-product and/or technology introduction by identifying yield risks, establishing baseline performance, and accelerating learning during manufacturing ramp.
Mentor less-experienced engineers in statistical analysis, structured problem solving, yield analysis, and fab troubleshooting.
Identify opportunities to improve fab-wide yield-analysis methods, data infrastructure, and problem-solving practices.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related technical discipline.
Significant engineering experience in semiconductor wafer fabrication, preferably involving yield, process integration, process engineering, product engineering, or device engineering.
Strong understanding of semiconductor wafer fabrication processes and the relationship between process variation, device characteristics, defects, and electrical yield.
Demonstrated ability to perform statistical analysis and solve complex manufacturing problems using large manufacturing datasets.
Experience with statistical/data-analysis tools such as JMP, or comparable platforms.
Working knowledge of SPC, DOE, process capability, correlation/regression, hypothesis testing, and structured root-cause analysis.
Ability to communicate complex technical conclusions clearly to engineering and manufacturing organizations.
Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional technical problem-solving efforts.
Preferred Qualifications
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related discipline.
Experience correlating inline process/defect data → WAT/electrical data → wafer-sort/final yield.
Experience with wafer-map and spatial-pattern analysis.
Experience with semiconductor defect inspection and/or physical failure analysis.
Experience creating automated yield-analysis or data-mining tools.
Knowledge of semiconductor device physics and electrical test structures.
Experience supporting technology or product ramps in a high-volume wafer fabrication environment
